Need GM about (Monk)

[reecew]

can a gm confirm what is actually going on with the monk because they are all using dc / Aspeed items and this was MENT to be a sc class..

every single post the GMs have avoided the Question.. i think its about time we had some answers as the class has been out near enough a week.

Agree'd. It should be an sc class in essence anyway. The lack of dc on weapons proves this. But DC is our stronger stat, especially with A.Speed?

 

[Jicaa]

I feel Monk should be a strong hitting SC class and attacks can't be increased with a.speed.

Basically big hits but slower than a war/sin

I agree id also like some confirmation that things are as they should be, or are going to be changed.

However, I think Monk's being DC+SC is a good thing. They need Attack Speed for the Thunder/Fire Shaolin skills, and having to put that many speed gems on SC items is just silly.

Having them as DC+SC means some of the tao gear that previously looked stupid with dc stats now have a use. It also means a Monk can use the Smash set for dc and attack speed, and then throw on some SC braces/stone etc for the spells and such. The key will be finding the right balance.

Personally I think the best thing for balance and the classes themselves would be to keep them DC+SC as this will save stupid attack speed sc items being made, but will also mean monks do use SC and need that gear/gems etc. Then crack on with making Archers MC to keep the DC prices somewhat balanced and bring MC prices into line abit. Archers really cant complain much as they can sell their current dc gear and easily buy/make gear just as good in MC and have cash to spare.

If they decide that monks are a combined SC/DC user, then there should be quite alot of new items be made throughout the levels. I think they should be SC, but with a.speed being a good stat also, for thundershaolin etc

Like i said in another thread im happy with the way monk is working at the moment (minus the reported bugs) and am not planning any massive changes with it

 

[koz1122]

Thats the point how do they work ??
People gonna need SC + DC + A.Speed + Acc kits like wtf lol. Gonna be one expensive class. One with no Cash farming potential until late game by the looks of it.


I think it's been very poorly released. Like all the other content of the server.

That is not what people are asking about.

My question would be, why are you finding it so difficult to give us a straight answer?

cheers for avoiding the question..

the class stats don't make sense at all from UE we get SC but we need to build Aspeed + DC?

 

[Slipmatt]

Getting a straight answer from them is like pissing in the fking wind. Name one game ever that introduces a new class and refuses to tell the public exactly how that class works/what kind of stats they use? No offence but nothing has been done besides piss off your usercount. Iv already partially left myself and iv only been back 5 weeks or so. Patiently awaiting Apocalypse.

They think this adds to the excitement of the game when all its really doing is putting people off and annoying people.

Also creates an unfair game because the super rich can all club together and power lvl chars and mix up kits until they find the perfect medium. That info should be made available to every person from the start instead certain individuals will have an upper hand. Gms seem to like giving certain people the upper hand so I wouldn't expect any advice from them your just gonna have to test urself buy a kit and hope it's the right kit and they won't say the next reboot oh actually monks are gonna be sc based and speed won't affect their hits.

Monks were just another way for the gms to Nick a few quid from Arcadia players

And ur happy they need to build dc/speed? Stats that are already stupidly rare and hard to get for the average warrior. All your really achieving is making the game harder for warriors, making rare stuff even rarer and harder to get for current players (there's not enuff dc gear to go around as it is) there's tons of spare sc kit Ingame and ur choosing to make them work on dc and speed. A lol is all I can really put. I don't even play a warrior or monk but I feel their frustration and thought this should be voiced

 

[gsxrcarl]

Maybe they dont know hence the lack of answers .no disrespect to them they try their best but maybe all this is above their head but lets face it theres enough on here that have the knowledge to help

 

[stallion90]

Possibly gsxcarl but then it shouldn't have been released then.

 

[GimmeAKitKat]

To be fair, aside from agreeing that the "nothing planned" replies are annoyingly vague, the class is rather easy to test, and most of the complaints here just sound like you haven't played a monk?

Only thing I want staff to confirm is that the stats aren't going to be changed drastically, so that gear can be bought/made and its not gonna end up entirely useless next week. Nothing Planned....is abit ****.

The monk as it is a think works well, I just want to know that it isn't going to be cannibalised next week.

I play a monk just turned 33 run full sc I am hopeful it will be a good class to play enjoying it apart from it being painfully slow to level .ive noticed different variations of sc/dc looks to me that we gonna have to work it out ourselfs

At low levels, go all DC, simply as its easier to get the numbers, DC items are higher stats then SC. If you have access to speed, use it. 40+ is where you have to make choices as some spells use sc only. Accuracy is good but I don't think its as important as it is on warriors etc.

Spam Thundershaolin and throw in FireShaolin when its available, should be fairly quick lvling, 30-40 is probably the least favourable lvling period for monks when compared to wizzies or even TDB warr's, which is probably why a lot of people find them weak, but its by no means glacial.

 

[lighttraf]

Jesus ****ing christ are you incapable of answering the question thats bloody asked?

 

[Slipmatt]

Not like we all line their pockets with money.

 

[d1craig]

Yea this is just laughable.

It it should be noted somewhere what sort of ratio you should need and tbh that should not be higher than what the SC items ingame allow ie. Soulring etc.

i am enjoying playing monk but tbh that's not because it is something very new ( all i have is a thrust that you can click instead of shift clicking) it's the same when you level an new character it's fun seeing the flashy image when you level up. Shame I am using an alt to run around with and kill ****.

It's the fact that people are spending gold on gear that turns out to be useless. I think a little advice would be appreciated greatly. I agree that part mystery is exciting, but making people have to spend millions of gold on different kit just annoys players when it turns out to be wrong!
