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

Gaige · 01-25-2006, 03:12 AM

Just curious if anyone can break 7k fully self buffed? I think I could with the Gi of the DD...

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.

goawaynow · 01-25-2006, 03:18 AM

At level 46 my stats are as follows:

4492hp 1894 power

65.3% avoidance

39.1% mitigation

Rrawl · 01-25-2006, 03:37 AM

That's so impressive... did you finally use a respec?

Gaige · 01-25-2006, 04:47 AM

Yeah I finally respec'd sta/max hp.

Shaialit · 01-25-2006, 05:26 AM

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% 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.

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.

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.

At level 59 I have 4782 HP, and not a single piece of armor on my character is Fabled.

x0rtrun · 01-25-2006, 11:44 AM

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

diamondma · 01-25-2006, 06:56 PM

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?

Xxooo-Coav · 01-25-2006, 08:41 PM

buffed only with sta ring buff, I am at 5325hp...

Not sure what I would be with food/potions...

diamondmage wrote: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?

That's, lets see:

Gaige's, Solvent of Life and Elixir of Metallic Hues. All 3 rare imbued rings, max hp food and every stamina or high hp piece of gear I had. I was just messing around trying to break 7k, but I think I need the DD gi first.

As for the questions... 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.

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 SMILEY

KnowH · 01-26-2006, 12:12 PM

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.

Dfoley3 · 01-26-2006, 05:58 PM

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.

JudyJudy · 01-27-2006, 10:39 PM

First time using any type of image source program, so bear with me if this turns out like poo. :smileyhappy:

All T6 legendary, no fabled - using Gaiges, elixir of life, STR/STA vanadium rings, and STR/AGI T6 hex dolls.

Here is one with the Ashen Gi - using the +8 Sta bonus knocked me above 5400hp.

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.

It always has, and always will be HP and Mit in these types of games. Everything else is secondary.

Cusashorn · 02-01-2006, 02:09 AM

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.

I think we should start getting at least 20 more than that for post 60.

Mala-Shea · 02-01-2006, 04:03 AM

5904...just gear and rings burnt...no potions...I spec'd for all str.

Sslarrga · 02-04-2006, 02:48 PM

Slapp,

Odd, you have much higher stamina than I do, yet I can buff more hps.

Prior to LU19, it was rather easy to reach almost 6700+ hps self buffed with potions.

Currently, with a little juggling I can hit a bit over 6800 hps I think. Granted I'm an Ogre, but that shouldn't affect things that much. If I had your stamina I'd be able to get pretty damned close to 7k and maybe possibly go over.

Either way I'm still pretty much PO'd that LU19 made almost every single fabled ring that our guild has almost worthless compared to easily purchased rare crafted T6 rings unless you absolutely needed a certain resist.

Regards,

Croaker

Mala-Shea · 02-04-2006, 07:37 PM

Croaker,

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. You prolly spec'd for all sta/hp and you have some nice pieces of jewelry that I dont that have way more raw health on them.

True about the rings for sure. Not sure what SOE was thinking with that move.../shrug. Where are you gonna find any ring that has +34str, agi or sta?

Sslarrga · 02-04-2006, 11:35 PM

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 in Gates will drop a BP and I can finally get a decent BP. Might have a good shot at 7k then.

I think I can buff more hps than all but maybe 2 in my guild now.

Regards,

Croaker
