While on the topic of "looks" :)

[DarumaRanger]

<DIV>Since, as some of you can guess from my other post about the attack animations... I'm all about looks with my Monk... I mean... who cares if you can solo that +5 level ^^^ boss if you don't look good doing it? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway... I was ecstatic when I came back to find that I, at a lowly level 20, could solo a quest and get a Gi... the "Caves" Gi.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However, it is a lv 16 item, and while its stats are pretty impressive, its AC is not overly so for someone in Tier 2.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, I'm wondering if there are any crafted Gi's yet?  Or any solo'able quests to get one?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>From what I understand I can get some type of Gi from our class armor quests, but I don't think they are solo'able at lv 20 or thereabouts... am I mistaken?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any suggestions?  Or am I gonna have to go back to looking like my Fury, (wearing regular leather stuff), until later levels when Gi's seem more prevalent?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks folks for the info.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Take care.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>P.S. And while we're on it... why... after all the clamoring over the years for Monks in EQ1 to get armor that looked like the Monk Trainers... why are we still here in EQII with no means of getting "Monk'ish" looking armor outside of higher end quests?  My gosh people... I would have thought that SOE would have recipes in game for that from day ONE !!  *sigh*</DIV>

<P>I think this is what you want : <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=6&message.id=22788" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=6&message.id=22788</A></P> <P>I personnaly don't like Gi, but the dress looking leather armor we can have in T7 looks awsome</P>

I don't care how I look when I can't tank without getting 10x damage of a plate tank. And you won't be seeing any soloable Gi EVER!

[Ryuugekitai]

<DIV>Well the one in Rujark is soloable</DIV> <DIV>and the one in the caves is too.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beside I gather you are frustrated by your inability to tank, but maybe you should concentrate on more positive aspects of your character ... or at least let other people do so.</DIV>

Well, I'm not one of fashion models picked my character just to wear Gi. That's the reason, I'm ticked off "You can't tell anything, you have your Gi's" excuses from many. Sorry if I exploded here, currently, I don't find Gi's appealing and I don't find Gi as "good" side of our class... Increased population of monks vs other classes, just because Gi sickens me.<p>Message Edited by selch on <span class=date_text>09-07-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:46 AM</span>

<DIV>"...Well, I'm not one of fashion models picked my character just to wear Gi. ..."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My, aren't you a tough bad [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] macho stud?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sure wish I were as cool and tough as you are....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Amazing how losers like this guy feel the need to insult someone who hasn't said anything offensive to them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The guy you responded to is the one who took a shot at you genius... and the one you should have insulted, if anyone... not ME.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What a tool.</DIV>

I had my monk Looooong before gi's

[DarumaRanger]

<P>Apology accepted and I certainly understand being annoyed when there's a huge influx of players to a beloved class/archetype who are just joining because of XX change/addition.</P> <P>For what it's worth, if anything, if you were to read my other thread/rant about attack animations... and there's no reason you should, LOL... you'd see my comment that I've had my Monk since day one of release... so he's existed far longer than most monks in EQII nowadays and certainly did NOT come about due to the existance of a Gi.  Though he'd certainly have more playtime and likely be pretty high level if they'd quit jacking with attack animations and if he'd had cool/UNIQUE looking armor from the outset.</P> <P>Anyway.... I might be a fashion model... but you're just jealous 'cause I'm gettin' all the chicks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>
