Monk Skills

#1 Post by MageMuch »

I am currently maxing skills in the following order:
Barehand Combat
Dodging
Stealth
Combat

Any suggestions, comments, ramblings, or ravings?

Combat is better than stealth. Come to think of it, so is symbiosis. Or mindcrafting. Or Necromancy. ...Come to think, of it, a lot of things are better than stealth. :)

I'm a high elf monk where do I get symbiosis (if possible)?

Fumblefingers. You know, the guy in the dungeon who lost his sword to a bunch of monsters. If this sounds unfamiliar, turn on random quests. :)

According to my spreadsheet, getting 50s in Barehand-combat, Dodging, Stealth, and Combat leaves you 38 points. I think you'd be wise to put all 38 into Magic-device. In fact, you might want to drop stealth from 50 to 40.6, to allow a 50 in Magic-device.

Why Magic-device? It gives you powerful, reliable use of wands, staves, and rods to give you ranged-combat and utility spells.
