AA for Leveling

[Decade]

Just curious of an ideal spec for leveling a monk. What should I be going for?<div></div>

<P>I think the lack of replies in a very friendly board are quite telling so I'm bound to be shot down for this <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I solo quite a bit and have so far (Lev 5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> done the following.</P> <P>Our class tree. I love fist weapons so went down that path, gives a better chance of parrying as well as turning the target (which is fun). Stamina was my secondary (can never have too much stamina I think).</P> <P>EOF tree. I looked at those skills I used most and am maxing those (our punch that uses health instead of power for instance). I havent even looked at the end skills as I figure my first respec will be very cheap anyway <shrug> so I can adjust then.</P> <P>The floor is now open ......</P> <P> </P>

<div></div>I think it's all personal preference and what suits your play style the most. I soloed to 63 so I chose lines that I felt would benefit my playstyle the best (and they have!). Class Tree: Though I didn't go down the Monkey line, I did max out the AGI. Instead, I went down the Eagle (INT) line because I really like the added bonuses to parry, critical hits, etc. Eagle Strike is pretty neat, too. Monk Tree: The first thing I maxed out was my Heal/Cure line. Then I started working on the Body lines (Jabs, Kicks, Punches). I originally took Master's Evasion. It used to allow us to dodge all incoming melee attacks for 10 seconds but it's recently been changed to only allow us to dodge a single attack, which is a bit silly because we do that on our own, albeit a bit more randomly. So I've since reset my points and this time I chose Combination instead. All in all I'm extremely happy with the monk AA trees and I enjoy my little monk immensely. Edit: I forgot to mention that, like the poster above me, I also like to use fist weapons. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Ellifayne on <span class=date_text>01-24-2007</span> <span class=time_text>12:57 PM</span>

<P>Best spec for soloing, tanking, or pvping i think is 4448 STA and 44858 INT</P> <P>For DPSing when you are not tanking its 448 STAWISINT</P> <P>Monk Tree is alot more subjective and more varied based on your playstyle. For me I would say at least 35 in the dmg increase line, 355 increased resuse timer line, 333 increased chance to hit line, 5 heal, and the rest based on playstyle.</P>
