Jeez. If he kept charging at you, I think he would've done it himself. Too bad Monks can't predict, because that would've been something pretty nasty. To me it looks like you're either not using any sanc or at least not any protection. There are some potions that grant protection from evil. Up your hitroll and damroll more than what it is. I know that you weren't hitting him all that much aside from reversing his own attacks. Horse was definately the way to go since it saved you to the point you were there at least longer than you would've been if you went crane or the likes. Keep that method up a bit more if he keeps that method going, then you still have a chance. If he changes up his method though, you might go a more offensive route, depending on your hit/dam and what spells you have up.

I noticed a char in there named Repugnant...is that a real char, if so, how did that name get throught and to 50?!?!

Funny log, gotta loooove those beads...have saved my life at times, too. Also pisses me off when I have a guy laglocked to death...and they are MINE...and boom...I am asleep...heh, but its a fun thing.

Kairishi against monks is lethal. I suggest go all out offense and hope for some chakras hits. If you go dragon you will have a lil more hp, better kicks and a chance to land some really good damage. Just be flying with sanc and protection and hope to outhit him.

Monks vs BLM is an uphill battle IMO, When I played Jekyr I got owned by Ixsasicor and b4 i deleted Yessuran I had my way with some Knight Monk who came after me.

Well, Lunicant isn't really an Imms name and never has been. It WAS a character of an Imm though. Raargant is just a wannabe, we all know that, he just wasn't evil enough, and thus just wanted the nifty little 'ant' at the end of his name so people confuse him for that race. So no, he's not a third Imm. Just one of the lesser seen of those races since they're pretty hard to get. :P

So back to the topic....yeah, monks have a decently hard time fighting blademasters from what I've seen on the subject. He wasin horse, and assumeing it's mastered, he never turned one attack back, didn't even see a dual parry(might have missed it). Might be interesting to know what the blademaster's hit roll is. And there was a reason the blademaster was using charge even though the monk had counter...Despiser used to do it to my warrior all the time.

Mister E, I take your bet.

You lose, "Paraxus weaves out of your attack." occurs in only once stance.

The key to beating any class is knowing what they can and can not do.

monk vs blademaster:

Now this is a complex fight, each person involved may have multiple attack forms, the choice of these forms determines how the other will have to choose their form. As a monk the safest bet is to use defensive stances, since these three stances should allow you to counter any stance the blademaster uses. Of these three, horse, buddha, and drunken each has a specific use with perhaps buddha being the least useful. Horse will allow you to reverse their attacks, yet your primary defenses (dodge, first parry, second parry) will be primarily unimproved and depend upon your weapon prof and the weapon they use against you. However, drunken will improve your dodge rate while it will not grant you a bonus to damage as horse does. In this particular fight it would appear your hitroll is lacking, and in defensive stance you want to be as defensive as possible, meaning you should use sanctuary and any protections you can get your hands on. If you have 30/30 I would suggest using horse, if less, drunken (but remember Jui kuen II).

I have a question, actually. It pertains to killing blademasters though not neccassarily with a monk...

If a blademaster is wielding a two-handed weapon, when I'm fighting them, I find it more worth my time to let them initiate the attack (sometimes) as certain classes. Taking Paladin as an excellent example, murder/charge/flamestrike/wrath/whatever, fall foul to snakespeed/counter. So if you launch an opening attack, they may well counter it and then can act straight away, as opposed to letting them strike the first blow (Paladin's have counter too). I am sure there are other classes that will have this problem too. Any advice here? (Ignore this if it's not welcome here.. :o)

I've found that most all of them wield two handed weapons so anything besides murder or a spell directed at them should be fine to open against them with. Exceptions being charge or something that can be countered. Recite a scroll or zap them with a wand, anything like that to open and they can't predict or counter it.....maybe even an area affect potion but I am unsure if that will put you into combat. And of course, look at them on the fly and see what type of weapon they have, if they have dual wielded don't go for the dirt kick or something, it's probably predicted. If they have a two handed weapon, don't c 'something' blm, try and area attack or the scroll/wand option.
