<DIV>So I'll give the quick and dirty background first, I've played MMOs since EQ launch. Played it for about 2 years having mostly played a Ranger and a Monk. Monks for the style and Ranger because... well... I like rangers, sue me =P</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since then I've gone on to play SWG (launch) WoW (launch) City of Heroes and City of Villains (Launch for heroes, beta for villains), EVE, and DDO (beta).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway, on to the meat and potatoes, bought the game a week or 2 ago because my RL friends whom I used to play EQ and SWG with were still playing EQ2. I didn't want to torture myself with Ranger again, so I picked Monk. Been more than happy with my choice thus far. I've made level 23 and over a platinum from the broker (black iron clusters on Lucan are insane O_o).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've almost got my 2nd AA line and was wonder what tree would be most beneficial to start on. Also, my 32 conjuror friend and I have thus far managed to complete 3 of my AQs, on the SH mobs we had to de-group, I'd lock the spawn, and he'd kill it. Will the two of us be able to complete the remaining AQs? Will it be easier with 24 (and windwalk)?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm used to a monk being somewhat of a melee glass cannon. Apparently they can take in this instead of DPS, which I find somewhat faulty but whatever, thats my take. I'm sure I'm going to need tank strategies for a monk, I've read a few such as turn on thundering hands and use cobra strike + AoE taunt. (And of course keep an eye on mobs to taunt stragglers that go after others).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is getting really long winded and I'm not sure where I'm going anymore so... umm... Hi!</DIV> <DIV>If you play on Lucan, hit me up I always enjoy some good chatter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Mindaeni Moonfist of Erollisi Marr, 23 Monk of the Silent Fist --- Lucan D'lere</DIV>
