archgold Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 well....it seems to me.....or let me ask you guys out there....a monk should master their weapons? secondly big bad evil dratted clerics/shamans/invokers try and kill me.....so far evil clerics triumphed over the other groups in most kills....any ideas on what to do? I seem to not be able to get over that stupid evil aura (like people say I think its overpowered) and sermon(not that big of the deal besides lag) so here's the things i've tried...buddha stance vs. evil aura......don't work.....crane vs. evil aura....they seem to still be hitting me more than i hit them.... so i decided to go with the old dispel and kill.....mostly it seems they run...put up their stuff...summon and destroy me again any suggestions for what my poor monk should do?

Zrothum Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 monks are uber communer killers. master their anatomy get as high damroll as you can crane stance murder chii bolt air thrash trip lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMike Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 definately have to go with crane, level three chii, air thrash and trip....if you can get it done they're done. I find it very, very hard to lag lock anybody though lately. Haven't played a monk in forever though and if I remember right, those chakera strikes do lag a little.

Deykari Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Zrothum, I thought the general consensus was towards monks always going all out hitroll and relying on their hands for damage (Though I might be wrong). Not challenging you, but rather, curiously asking, wouldn't going all damroll mean your hitroll isn't going to be that good even with crane?

Acerbity Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I've found that the higher the damroll, the more chakera's you land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 If that is the case, what about the tiger stance then? Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrothum Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I go high damroll and crane. The affects of crane stance versus communers are QUITE nice. Crane ups your hitroll and you will already have a nice damroll from eq. Balances out to a kick communer butt combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiegel06 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I have to agree definetly go crane since they can not lag (except Sermon) you dont need to to be defensive. But remenber you need to have chii bolt maxed so you can release it or else crane wont be that effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomak Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 If you have monkey,crane sux...If you are fighting all but duergar cleric use monkey stance and empower your hands to chii bolt level 2 .You will see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiegel06 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I learned that the hard way with Malik faught so many clerics, invokers, and healers it was crazy. Was wondering why I didnt do any chaker hits until I accidently released my chii bolt one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archgold Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 thanks, but now I have another question if the cleric is outdmging me w/ his weapon and no disarm it is, should I be doing something special, or fleeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixfeetunder Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 you can try shield disarming if he has one, it will help to lessen his defenses. + i 'm fairly sure that high hitroll will help you punch past defense, so you can try sacrificing some +dam for some +hit and see if that helps, otherwise i'd probably say run for now.

spiegel06 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Most clerics (not all) will be using holy hands most of the time and you should be disarming the shield (not many clerics have a no disarm shield) it will let you get in a some good hits.

CCaprice Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Damroll will not help you get chakera hit and tiger really won't help because crane is designed for them. Monkey is a mob killer and anatomy trainer. If you traded monkey for crane you are essentually hasting yourself and sancing your opponent, not to mention loosing all the bonuses that crane provides. Also no way I would only go lvl 2 chii bolt against a mage since you need that lvl 3 to open them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiegel06 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 lvl chii bolt is not useful against an invoker since of one of their shields makes lvl 2 chii bolt useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCaprice Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yeah protective shield does block chakera but each chakera weakens protective shield and has a chance to drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
