Monk question:

[Nakrima]

<DIV>I just started playing again with a friend recently and decided to go Monk.</DIV> <DIV>I was previously a pally, so it's somewhat different (obviously <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />).</DIV> <DIV><BR>My question to current Monks:<BR>Is Monk fun to play and level, and are they worth it in the long run?</DIV>

[selch]

Yes, it is fun to play, because it is much more of a challange to play than other tanks.In long-term, "hope" it will be worth it, with latest changes coming with EoF.

<DIV> <P>I've found my Monk great fun to play, being able to tank, DPS and move around zones gives a freedom of play style that most other classes don't have. Like all classes we seems to have our "issues" with what is percieved as our usefulness, speaking only from my level (currently 63) I find I can be very usful in groups and raid has not been a problem either.</P> <P>As Selch says we are also about to get a little love with changes comming from EoF, so we will have to see how this changes our ability to fill our roles.</P></DIV>

<DIV>What do you mean by "move around zones", Jerrad?</DIV>

<DIV>Monks are the ebst solo class i have tried so far... i toke a named last night, it was only 6 lvl under me, and i toke it pretty easy,</DIV>

I'm only at level 39 but I must say I'm really enjoying being a monk. Can solo very easily, OK getting groups and we have lots of cool skils to enable you to get around. Certainly I've found it a lot easier levelling than either SK or swashie.

along with FD  you also get Wind Walk and it's associated "Invis" line.  Which along with FD can allow you tons of access to places normal people can't go... <div></div>
