So, a short question about rogues and monks in the new update.

[Meru_Lee]

Currently, on my main server, I have a lvl 20 rogue that I had planned to TR into a lvl 12 rogue and lvl 8 monk. Now though with the new update that both rogues and monks get, i am not certain if that is what i want to do.

I know at a higher lvl dark monks get their own sneak attack bonus and they can run on water. I think i read that was at lvl 13 or so? But i still want to be able to make traps with my rogue and the assassination ability would be useful.

So.. my question is.. to all those that have played rogues and monks in lammania.. Would it be more useful to take more lvls of rogue with the new update, or would it be useful to take more lvls of monk?

Also can you tell me at what lvls monks and rogues get some of their new and useful features?

[Persnoody]

Well if you plan to do it now is the time, cause I'm sure we are ganna see more rogue/monks than monks, btw you get ninja spy 2 at lvl 12 monk, along with abundant step.. personally I think it will make a decent soloing build with the changes being made.

To stop at Monk8 would be real sad, because 1 more level gets you the 500 damage punch.

However I suggest going all the way to monk 20 on your TR. Since you don't already know what the monk abilities are, that'd be safest.

haha, well.. I had it all figured out until the new abilities with the update came along is my problem. I was going to stop at monk 8 because 12 rogue will give me assassinate if i take the assassin prestige and i wanted the monk dps still

Anything more than a 6 level Monk splash, and you'll want Touch of Death - in which case you're going unarmed for the most part.

So 13 Rogue-Assassin II / 6 or 7 Monk-Ninja I vs. 20 Monk IMO.

I guess you could throw 12 Monk-Ninja II / 8 Rogue in there as well, but as mentioned above you'll probably be more unarmed focused at that point. But you'd still be able to do trapsmithing as well, if you wanted that.

Your call.

I'm very intereste din this conversation, because I have been trying to figure out how to work a rogue/monk/ranger combo with either shortswords or longswords as their primary weapons (cuz monk handwrap dps will be low)

i'm starting to think the ranger tempest portion will get booted


Level two ninja spy is unimpressive, but level 3 might be worth it, especially if it get assasination ability
