Classes: The Monk

Monks - masters of hand to hand damage. The monk is a powerful fighting class. With their unique set of skills and need to keep their weight load down, monks are a very complex class to develop and play correctly.

What is the best way to develop your monk? Which skills should the monk concentrate on learning? What is the best fighting style for a monk? Can a monk be soloed, and if so how? How should a monk be played within a group? How can a monk best use his skills? What weapons and armor should you try to get for your monk?

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the Monk and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

Anyone here notice a skillup on a skill they did not use? I am specifically referring to special attacks. Seems sometimes when I use Flying Kick, I will get skillup for Round Kick or Kick.

I have /bugged it, but maybe it is not a bug?

if you have the Technique of Master Wu AA's (the ones that let you strike more than once for each click of the special button) you're not doing a chain of flying kicks, you're actually chaining on one or two of your other moves, randomly, which is why you get skillups for different specials.

Thanks! I do have Master Wu's Technique AA. That explains it!

Before I hit level 51 to start on AA's, I have grouped with bards a few times. One of their songs (sorry I do not know the name of it - something to do with a proc) has actually caused me to skill up in Tiger Strike. This has happened a couple times for me.

Yeah, I have three AAs into that skill at 63 and my Dragon Punch and other Kicks have gone up at least 30-40 points. Its kind of cool to see that.
