Hey everyone..
i've started an acolyte which i'll be changing into monk later..I've chosen the STR/AGI as i'll spend mostly solo( maybe TI after 70 )

I can't decide the skill set of the monk..Here's my planned set ( still has 11 skill point undecided) :

So you're going for a combo build, right? Here, I've spent the rest of your skill points and tweaked some stuff:

You should definitely always max Blessing and Increase AGI. Pneuma is a must as well. Heal is not as crucial, but maxing it saves pots. Level 5 Trifecta is adequate, since its main purpose is for starting up the combo chain, not for its extra damage. Spiritual Sphere Absorption is great: it's a free (albeit slow) supply of SP. Level 5 Mental Strength is for any time you get bored of soloing and want to be a tank in TI parties.

Thank you minty pudding.
Really Appreciate your help.

a doubt : My combo will be : Raging Trifecta Blow => Raging Quadruple Blow => Raging Thrust ??

& is decrease agi neccessary ?? won't investing in occult Impaction be better ??
is this a good idea : getting heal upto lvl 8, increase AGI to lvl9, Blessing to lvl 9, deleting decrease agi ( 1 skill point ) & putting those 5 points into occult impaction ??

Assuming the above idea is good, will my new combo be like this :
Raging Trifecta Blow => Raging Quadruple Blow => Raging Thrust => Occult impaction ??

or is Occult impaction enough for 1 shot/greatly weakening the monsters ??

[mintypudding]

Yep, the combo is Raging Trifecta > Quadruple > Thrust.

Tbh, I never used Decrease AGI while I was a Monk, but I still had it. Combo Monks have a ton of skill points to burn.

Occult Impaction is a useless skill now, so I wouldn't recommend even getting it. It isn't part of the combo sequence, so there's no point in using it.

[ashS1]

oh i see..Thanks for the help minty pudding..

since decrease AGI's not so useful, maybe i can swap decrease agi's 1 skill point for increasing Flee or Raging Trifecta..

[mintypudding]

Yeah, that's a good idea. Your time as a Monk will be really short anyway so don't fret too much over the skills.

[Viri]

Just spam tri => quad => thrust and nothing else. No need for anything else at all.

[RoyalHeritage]

Agi/Dex/Str agi bless and combo thats all u need.

[ashS1]

Roger that !!

[ashS1]

ok..so i finally had the time to lvl up my Monk & he's almost 99 now ( 40 % to go ) !!

I won't be able to WoE as it starts around 3 am in my timezone..:/

So my main purpose of this sura will be Pvm & maybe PvP( PvM is the main purpose though )

Can u guys please please suggest a sura Build for me ? I built up this in irowiki skill simulator & i have no idea whether this is good or bad !!
( http://irowiki.org/~...jQGAanGAjQ1fUcY )

& also, any idea/suggestions on how to use the stats points ?

i was a AGI( 91 ish )>DEX( 85ish )>STR( 50ish ) combo monk !!
& also i am not a very rich player( might have around 15mil)..I got a carga mace for my future sura recently..any suggesstions for gears ? ( pls not something as hilarious as Rudolf hairband or rideword hat )

Appreciate the Help !!

Thanks.

I think you should make more money before going third job because the monsters can hurt a lot and you'll need to spend on pots.15m will not last very long.

[ashS1]

I know 15m is not enough..but since i am not VIP nor do i use KP/WPE & i don't play much, that is all i could gather till now !!
I won't be turning to sura in 1 day !! with my pace, it would take more than 10-12 days easily to get to sura !!

I am still a 99 lvl monk & waiting for suggesstions so that i could start with rebirth & start on my sura !

[kasshin]

You probably want to get sky blow only for levels 100-120 or so, and reset later on to get rid of it.

If you don't have rudolf, rideword hat, or witch hat, mental strength for turn in parties will be the best exp for you. Or you can try MS with ifrit's mask and other cheap autocast gear. If you are going pure turn in with mental strength only, you can probably avoid getting sky blow at all altogeher.

[sb120495]

Yea MS is the way to go.Although you can't get ifrit mask for 15m,you could get clock card,valkyrie manteau and maybe yoyo/choco card for perfect dodge.This helps avoid hits and reduces pot usage.Also buy loli ruri card for autocast heals.I use it and i don't lose hp in MS.
First use clock card and proc guard which lasts 4mins or something,then switch to loli ruri card and use it till guard runs out.

[hnya]

100-120 sky blow, 120-140-MS, 140-150-pure gfist.

[Baturiano]

140-150 Join Guild ETs and demand even share

[ashS1]

[Baturiano]

Ask to be the tank for Endless Tower Runs. Ask them to Even share the exp so you can leech off the bomber

I intend to !! ..now regarding sura's skills...
