Monk Adept III's, which ones to get?

[Coal]

<DIV>Hi,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Does anyone have a good idea of what Monk skills are worth taking to Adept III? I am currently only level 19, so primarily interested in T2 and T3 for now but want to start planning for higher levels too.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance for any help!</DIV>

Feign Death and Brawler's Stance are the only ones I can think of that are remotely worth getting adept 3 of. You out level your skills really fast up till about level 30. As far as 20 - 29 spells, Swooping dragon and Mend would be two I recommend.

<DIV>I /agree with Kharza..I did the same and did not regret it. </DIV>

<DIV>I did Rapid Swings and Swooping Dragon for Adept 3 and the increased damage was well worth it.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Alas, I have yet to make a T4 Adept 3 cuz the rare's are so [FAAR-NERFED!] expensive.  Any of you uber Monks have recommendations for T4 or even T5?</DIV>

<DIV>My suggestion is to sell your rares and save your money. You're going to be out of those levels quickly enough and your skills will be overwritten with something better anyway. I didn't worry about Adept 3s until I got into my late 40s. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for T5 Adept 3s I first went with Spider Stance. Then I got Adept 3s for Silent Fist because of the stifle, Icy Talon because of damage and it hits raid mobs, and then Lunging Mongoose for the damage/stun. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However, if I had to do it over again, I probably would have just stopped at Spider Stance because the damage increases on the others going from Adept 1 to Adept 3 was very negligable. Oh and the fact that I cant sell my T5 raw materials for jack scratch these days, I need a source of income. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for all the input. I ended up doing Rapid Swings for the heck of it. I am glad I did, the extra damage is great. </DIV>

<DIV>I have 6 Adept 3's all in the 30 world. Wintry Talon, Stumbling Boar, Darting Sparrow, Swooping Hawk, Diving Dragon, and Focus Energy. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Of those Wintry Talon is my fav, a close second is Darting Sparrow (Rapid Swings upgrade). </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All of them are awesome. </DIV>

<DIV>I've got to agree with Corinthia, if I could do it over again, I would have sold all my rares before t5 and just saved plat for the lvl 40-50 game.  Make an exception for the feign death line however. </DIV><p>Message Edited by Supe14 on <span class=date_text>02-24-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:48 AM</span>

I would normally advised against making that adept 3, however there are raid mobs that are two powerfull for darting sparrow, and rapid swinds will work, it may not be money misspent.

<DIV align=left>As for stance adept 3 on a stance seems to make no difference then less power.  Last few I adepted gained no perk what so ever. Maybe others have seen a change on the hard stat increases?</DIV>

[Gaige]

<DIV>Its almost 100% never effective to upgrade any stance.  I did dragon stance a long time ago and since then I've vowed to not do anymore.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Gage has exactly <EM>zero</EM> t5 adept 3s.  I may get Stop Heart or Transcendant Vision if I find a ruby/rhodium but in all honestly I'll probably sell it.  I also may get the taunts, but considering you get a free lvl 50 adept 2 taunt, probably not.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A few of my friends have all adept 3 spells and have mentioned to me that they are hardly worth the money.  But its all relative as to what is important to you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now while I don't have any adept 3 spells, I do have a master and all my other spells are adept 1 (except 2 I think ~ silent fist and winding dragon which are appIV) and, as I said I just can't justify 1pp+ for the neglible (if any) increase.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've heard that Lunging Mongoose adept 3 hits raid mobs though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edit: Oh yeah my lvl 26 troubadour has 2 adept 3s and one master (mana song/stat buff/stealth dd) and the difference was hardly worth the few gold I spent.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Gage-Mikel on <span class=date_text>02-27-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:40 AM</span>
