Totally makes me think of this:

I'm old, and I don't like things now compared to the way they used to be!

[Ilindith]

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Thanks.

Can I have a free Otto's Box for my final build?

[Towrn]

Grats....

Huge accomplishment.

I'm still 8 lives away. Soon-ish.

Ignore them. It's true that using monk weapons (including shortswords) has a lot more support from enhancements, but unarmed monks are still VERY viable. Oh, and the fighter's Kensai tree lets you use any weapon while centered if you take 5 fighter levels and spends lots of AP in the tree. Unarmed fighting is by no means weak, however.

Nice, haven't grouped with you in a while, didn't know you were that far.

[Velluminous]

Congrats! Quite impressive!

Eppy Woot, long distance from Fawngate of Khyber

[Ilindith]

Well ****, thank you Fawngate for the free Otto's, will be an easy to cap final life!

They've changed many of the monk special moves to be usable with weapons, and with the Ninja Spy basically giving you all the feats you need for fighting with Short Swords for free or the Kensei tree allowing you to use any weapon, the list to stay unarmed grows short. Add in their epic weapon damage scaling that doesn't apply to unarmed wraps and crit profiles, and pretty much everything out DPSes unarmed (even throwing weapons) - especially rednames where you can't bring your Grave Wrap's deleveling to advantage. However once you step in things like an ED twist of Sense Weakness, unarmed's fast attacks help close the gap.

Is this to say unarmed is useless? Heck no, as unarmed is still good DPS. Faster attacks means higher Ki generation, so you can spam Ki moves with impunity. And Whirlwind Attack on an unarmed monk is the coolest move on the planet. The disparity is not such that anyone should ever complain about you going unarmed... and really, why do you play this game? To meta game the best character DPS possible, or to have fun? I personally am still going to rock a pure unarmed Monk post U19.

Oh, and cross server congrats on triple completionist!

Wait we're supposed to be having FUN?

I'VE BEEN DOING IT ALL WRONG!! MAX DIPS ON EVERY TIME, NO TIME FOR FUN OR FLAVOUR BUILDS!

Seems you've mistaken me for more than one person. I'm the one who said something, and it was mostly in jest.

Never said useless, I said weak sauce

[Deadlock]

Thanks.

Congratulations

And no, Otto's Boxes just devalue your achievement, so you're not allowed one. Leave them for the gimps who can't level without them.

Monk is a good choice for a final build, is what I've done on my main's 40th life and haven't regretted it for a minute. Looking at what's coming down the line with enhancements, there's nothing to be worried about there either.

Kinda sad that unarmed monks would be considered flavor builds now

How did I spell flavour with a Canadian accent and you didn't? Is it opposite day???

I think they're pronounced the same, just spelled differently.

Insane bro, congrats, but wow that is a lot of xp.
