Should I Buy Monk Class?

[stille_nacht]

i have been thinking of investing in the monk class for a while now, but all i really know is that it will get the AC up on a Ranger/Monk build i have been thinking about, i dont feel that this is an adequate reason to be spending about the same amount of TP as Necropolis IV costs, so i would like to know the other merits of the monk class. Thanks.

Some merits of the monk class are good saves, great speed.

Downsides of the monk class are:

- Lack of handwrap boss beaters
- Mid range DPS

The monk is a tricky class, its more of a utility class with ok but not great DPS. Its pretty gear dependant, but it is alot of fun to play.

Here is the biggest merit, buy now or pay double tomorrow.

Not only are we introducing half-orc and half-elf in Update 7: Half-Bloods later this month, we are also rolling out the Half-Bloods Bundle (buy half-orc & half-elf together) and the Half-Blood Champions Bundle (buy half-orc, half-elf & 32-Point Build together)! Read more here!

We will also be revising prices for all races and classes, so if you would like to own these races and classes at their present prices, buy them before the release of Update 7: Half-Bloods!

New pricing will be:

• Favored Soul Class: 895 Points
  
• Monk Class: 995 Points
• Warforged Race: 795 Points
• Drow Race: 995 Points
• Half-elf Race: 1195 Points - Coming Soon!
• Half-orc Race: 1295 Points - Coming Soon!
• Half-Bloods Bundle: 1995 Points - Coming Soon!
• Half-Blood Champions Bundle: 2995 Points - Coming Soon!

Monks are quite fun to play, and can fill a few party spots no problem, even with just a level splash or two.

While it's true that there are very few "Harry Beaters" as far as Handwraps go, with Update 7 releasing shortly (For me, servers go down in just over 7 hours), the third tier of the Shintao Monk PrE gives you Silver DR bypass, which when used with Holy or Pure Good handwraps, can really mess Harry up (my favorites happen to be my +4 Holy of Pure Good ).

Marten also as a point, if you can't decide because of TP cost, get Monk now instead of later and save a chunk of points. Unless Necro 4 is on sale, you'll be saving 65tp by getting Monk now.
