crusaders cannot use shield skills for leveling; if you're gonna solo you either go GC or spear quicken. as a paladin, i believe rapid smiting does decent damage, but most royal guards are spear build for soloing as the GC tree for royal guards is pretty restrictive.
asura strike is the same thing as guillotine fist btw. as a monk, fastest way to level is to go agi build and combo skills. trifecta (passive) -> quadruple blows (active) -> raging thrust (active) to quickly kill mobs. however, monks do not have aoe abilities so it will be a lot of killing 1 and a time unless you tank for TIs (so get Mental Strength).
seems like you're having issues sticking with a class though, since you were initially playing a knight not that there's anything wrong with that.
I like how you answered all three of my threads =]
I'll just stick with GC build for the crusader. He's still a Lv 25 Swordy..i'll build him later.
For monk, I actually dont mind single target slaughter, since my assassin and hunter are built that way. But would 30 Luk and some crit gear/cards be beneficial or should i jus stick with chick/snake hat. And for gears, should i invest in cards that do supplemental dmg? Also, what weapon should I main with because I do have a variety from stunner, haiti claw, berserk, nemesis, grand cross..etc. I have a whole bunch of knuckle weapons, even the sura glove thing.
BTW my knight does depend on brandish spear. I jus have 2H Quicken and Murasame along with i think earthdeleter card to restore my sp. I jus don't know where to grind at the moment with him. Currently Lv 71 leveling in Comodo with Stalactic Bounty. This weeks TI is a little harsh for low lvl party.
And bro, I really do have an issue with sticking with one character. I have 13 total...non-trans. My original account got hacked and thats my fault for being naive and fresh. I felt really good when I made it to AB..and my sniper was 4 levels away from 3rd Class. lmfao I had to start all over....man it sucked ant eggs. lol
Thank you though, I appreciate your insight and taking the time to answer my questions.
