When i roll my lvl 1 monk at the start of the mod

[Bexo]

I demand lvl one clerics to play with me otherwise im quitting the game. If im standing around for ages waiting to join a party as monk im quitting the game. If i dont get nice new robes that are in my colour im quitting the game.

Well goodbye then. With the whole server rolling a monk there will be no clerics

[vainangel]

I am not making a monk...not a first

[Sobriquet]

Yeah, it's going to be a rough couple of weeks as just about everyone (not me though, not interested) rolls a monk. Seems like a great time to finally go after all that low level favor I've been neglecting.

People on Risia are saying that parties of 6 monks have little to no trouble getting through most low-level quests.

That said, I'm sure there will also be some non-monks who take the opportunity to get some other characters up quickly, though they may not be clerics.

I have a 3 cleric that i am going to work on as soon as monks come on (or as soon as i can be on after monks come out)

Correction:
3 Monks levels 8, 8 and 7 beat Stormcleave on Elite.
2 Monks levels 6 and 6 beat Deleras (the whole series) on Elite.
2 Monks levels 6 and 6 tackled GM and Co6 on Hard (with a little difficulty but it sure was fun.)

Full monk parties of 4-7th level are tackling TR, SC, Gwylan's and Delera's on Elite and managing without any need for healers...although it would be nice to have a locksmith along on occasion for chests, it's not a big deal. Traps...wait...what..there's traps? Funny..we never noticed them..huh.

Twinked or normal?

I think people forget that half the fun is the challenge to be doing the quests untwinked.

I have a Bard for just such a thing. She's a healer, Buff spec'd.

I think someone rolled a 1 on their joke detection skill check.

[Talish]

Most of my guild will be rolling monks so I will wait a month or so to roll up one. I'm going to use this opportunity to level my ranger. She can keep them healed and add ranged combat to the mix. Should be interesting.

[Hambo]

One thing I learned on Risia... Monk parties tend to miss out on a lot of loot. Rogues will most likely be welcome at the lower levels, as well as casters and anyone able to heal. At level 7 monks DO get the ability to "meditate" to heal (as well as build "Ki" levels), but not neccessarily to full HP levels.

I think that until things settle down a bit there will be little percieved need for other melee. I wouldn't exclude any tankage from my groups, since monks are a bit squshy, but there's a new melee in town vying for available spots.

[Dungnmaster001]

On risia did TR Parts 1 elite, parts 2-5 hard, 6 and 7 normal with a group of level 3-4 monks. One of the monk finishing moves is a mass cure light wounds, Not much by itself but a group of 6 monks doing it as often as their ki allows can keep up with heals. A few pots for spot healing on the way of course but still...

[Uska]

Pay me in plat and I will make a cleric and follow you around and heal only you
