OMG Monk ep--- nvm, Monk max HP thread, what's yours?

[Gaige]

<div>Just curious if anyone can break 7k fully self buffed?  I think I could with the Gi of the DD...</div><div> </div><div><img src="http://img463.imageshack.us/img463/317/maxhpz8zw.jpg"></div><div> </div><div>In a group/raid I've had really close to 11k, I'm thinking I could break 12k if I tried and had the short term Necro buff.</div>

[goawaynow]

<div>At level 46 my stats are as follows:</div><div>4492hp 1894 power</div><div>65.3% avoidance</div><div>39.1% mitigation</div><div><img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

<div></div>I think Tunabash and Drakem hacked gaige

[Bildorm]

<div></div><p>What buffs you running??</p>

[Rrawl]

<div>That's so impressive... did you finally use a respec?</div><div> </div><div> </div>

[Gaige]

<div></div>Yeah I finally respec'd sta/max hp.

[Shaialit]

<div></div><div></div>Did this make you lose out on avoidance and lower your dmg by a lot? Or is it really not noticable? And is the extra hp noticable/helpful?I went all avoidance/agi and my self buffed avoidance is 71.9% <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I have also picked power regen in combat instead of max hp.I know you sometimes tank for your raids, so I guess the hp helps. But my question is, how would this work in a xp groups for example? Especially when the expansion comes out? And did you tank raid mobs after you respec'd? How did it compare to before you respec'd?The reason for all these questions is that I am thinking of respecing too. And I just want to be sure it's a good way to go.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Shaialit on <span class="date_text">01-25-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:32 AM</span></p>

<div>I can't help but notice this, but both before and after the Combat changes, every time I've leveled up as a Brawler or monk, I get EXACTLY 59 HP every single time, every single level.</div><div> </div><div>I check with my calculator every time. It doesn't matter what my stamina is at the time, which I know affects HP, I always get 59 HP every time I level up with my Human monk.</div><div> </div><div>At level 59 I have 4782 HP, and not a single piece of armor on my character is Fabled.</div>

[x0rtrun]

I'm considering respecing with hp% instead of power regen.. but the regen is super nice on really long raid fights, and the hp would only do me any good if i had the time to actually get geared up in fabled to be raid mt. Though i think i will take stam instead of str. /shrug<div></div>

got mine to 6209 with solvent of life, gaige's absolution, and berrylium ring buffs. im missin food and i think a potion. gaige what 3 pots are u usin there?<div></div>

I didn't see a significant knock to my str, my attack or my avoidance by going all sta/hp% - BUT - I had low agility to begin with and my avoidance mostly stems from deflection/defense mods/buffs.  Therefore if you *do* have high agility keep that in mind.  I had enough strength though that sacrificing some for HP didn't matter, as I can still easily hit and exceed the str cap grouped.</p><p>Message Edited by Gaige on <span class="date_text">01-25-2006</span><span class="time_text">09:07 AM</span></p>

I can buff to around 5,700 hp without food or potions. i have to get some potions to have a try at max hp <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[KnowH]

<div>I can get to about ~5200hp...  That's without potions or any fabled armor :/  I've had crumby luck with the fabled loot...  This is after respec, too.  I think I could do well to upgrade some of my jewelry and perhaps get some STA dolls.  But as Gaige mentioned, my STR wasn't so heavily affected by the respec and I could probably hit the cap with like 2 STR buffs in a group (e.g. wizard and healer).  Also, I can get my avoidance to the 65% range with pretty low AGI.  I'll have to start looking into potions, though, as I never really think to look there for HP/stats.  Then again, I don't really do any MT duty in raids, so my HP in groups hasn't really been a huge factor.</div>

[Dfoley3]

Interesting ill have to go buy some pots/food today.    With jsut a ring buff im at 330 sta and only get to 6100 hp and i took all hp% and sta trainings.   Although i do have 2500 mit without pots so i cant complain.  Ive never been a big fan of using food/pots to icnrease my hp since its not perm and it costs me money to maintain which is a rare comodity when you chunking out 18g a day in repairs.solvent of life 333 hpwhat food/drink ? caimon soup = 123 hpStill leaves me at 6556 ish a class hp bonus would have been nice or sta instead of useless class stats.What im more interested in is what can be the max mitgation of a monk.  Im looking at 3k with mitigation jewlery and fabled gear.  adding about 30-60 mit per jewlery would help tons. <div></div>

i can't remember who it was that told me to effoff when i said it was all about hp, but this almost makes me smile.  having played a warrior in eq, i'm a hp guy.  with high con mobs ignoring almost all of your stats, except hp, hp is the way to stay.<div></div>

[x0rtrun]

<div></div>It always has, and always will be HP and Mit in these types of games. Everything else is secondary.<div></div><p>Message Edited by x0rtrunks on <span class="date_text">01-28-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:41 PM</span></p>

<div></div>My max hp atm is 6440 , still need a few items to get to 7k :/

[Cusashorn]

<div>So has anyone else noticed exactly how many HP you get every time you level up? I'm wondering if 59 HP *EVERY SINGLE TIME REGARDLESS OF YOUR STAMINA* is suppose to be this way for the class in general.</div><div> </div><div>I think we should start getting at least 20 more than that for post 60.</div>

<div></div><p>Croaker,</p><p>I took those ss's proir to lu19. I am sitting unbuffed at 6046 now post lu19(slightly higher). You were prolly buffed more HP for 2 reasons.

[Sslarrga]

<div>Ah, that's probably it.  The last time I respec'd I did all +max hps.  Although for snots and giggles I went 1 each of 4 agi, 4 str, and 4 sta.  I should have just gone straight stamina.  Someday that <expletive deleted> in Gates will drop a BP and I can finally get a decent BP.  Might have a good shot at 7k then.</div><div> </div><div>I think I can buff more hps than all but maybe 2 in my guild now.</div><div> </div><div>Regards,</div><div>Croaker</div>
