how are monks doing so much magical damage?

[matthewstud]

<div></div>Hi all I have a Monk lvl 26 and I like my class but I was looking at the top 10 magical hits on my server list and monks are 5 of the top 10 highest magical damage hits.....How can this be???  Do we get some massive attack form at higher lvls that does more magical damage than a Mage?????!!!!????I mean a lvl 50 monk did 11,000 + magical damage in 1 hit....   also it's interesting all 10 are fighter classes not 1 mage....  weird...????food for thought....   Ciao!1.<a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/pplayer.vm?characterId=149791107" target="_blank">Lodoz</a><a

<P>In groups of 4 or more, each mob is considered a solo mob 90% of the time.  They are the same dificulty as a solo mob of that level just slightly more hp.</P> <P>If you see a group of 6 goblins in SE, find one without a ^ or ^^ and use devestating fist.  It isnt 100% it can miss, and it doesnt work on all group mobs or raid mobs even if its a group of 5 with no arrows.</P> <P>As for the warriros on the list, i beleive thats their self rez-blow up spell.  </P> <P>For the 15k mobs, equip a 2 hander, i find you get a moderate dmg increase on the same mobs, other then that, it would have to be a level 55ish mob to have 15k hp so im clueless there</P> <P>Dont be suprised though, if the attack no longer works on heroic or epic mobs soon.  It says its not supposed to, ive buged it a few times that it actualy does.  But according to the description, i wont be suprised if very soon its fixed.  If not, i can also understand, cause an 11k  mob in a raid is nothing more then a fart in the wind.  In an exp group, using it on a grou mob means the next 30-45 sec (cant remember) you do 1/3 ur dps cause of no CA so its really not an advantage at all, and gl if you tanking, your agros gone.</P>

[sglant]

<P>is there only 1 way to obtain this ability? (the one way I have heard is complete 3 BL quests, then you can buy the App II version)...</P> <P>Also, is there anything higher than the app II version?</P>

[Gaige]

Only one way, and nope, its not upgradeable.

[Tully]

<DIV>I'm so glad Gage and I finished those quests like the first few days, nobody does it anymore.</DIV>

[sglant]

time to beg the guild... lol

[ChrisVo]

<div></div>since now i was for one time in permafrost and killed giants. I know that i killed one giant in a group at once but didn´t see the damage number. One week later my guild told me that i'm number one in the server  statistics in the highest magic damage category.<span>:smileytongue:</span>   So my assumption is that giants in permafrost for example have 15.132 HP <span>:smileywink:</span> <p>Message Edited by ChrisVoye on <span class=date_text>06-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:53 AM</span>

I posted it in the devistating fist post before but the 15,132 mob is one of the giants in permafrost that hangs out with the named guy which spawns right next to the Tamers and Wolves door on the second floor.  The named is Coldwind or something like that, but Dfist one of his friends or its 1 of the 4 named mobs that spawns when you completing the final quest from the horn in the quest room I think it was Cur n or something like that.  Happy hunting

<FONT face=Garamond size=3>Bah, I got 14,808 on that giant. :smileymad:</FONT>
