I'm new to magicians, so I don't know what's the deal here.
Anyay...
Why do people decide to NOT get multi-lightning and meteor rush?
What're the main skills a monk should be using to attack?
Are there any builds for attack monks out there(that are up to date)?
Thanks in advance.
Yo!
People don't get multi-lightning because it doesn't hit more than once, it just hits more enemies in a wider arc, all one time (which really isn't useful at all). People don't get Meteor Rush because it eliminates the launching feature of Meteor Fall (which makes that skill pretty useless).
Main skills for attack are X-spam (w/ Diffusion Cannon until level 40, then Double Shot after level 40), debuffs (Barbarian, Witch's Curse, Quagmire), stuns (Chain Lightning) and the new damage skills (mostly Spark Rock, although you can use Rain of Fire too if you're into that).
I don't think there are any offense-oriented builds around right now, but I will be updating my priest/shaman (old class names) guide to include new builds optimized for the latest changes to the game. It's going to take a few weeks, though, because I have to test things out and learn how to best utilize the new skills, whether any old skills are now obsolete, etc.
Anyways, hope that helps somewhat.
