Monk training post level 70

[Androidpk]

I've never had a character this high level before so I'd like to get some tips on where I should be
putting my TPs as I get ready for the higher level hunting areas.


In spell research I have up to 1220. Nothing in the 100 circle yet.

Depending on where you are going:

MIU/AS ranks for Spell Burst if you are spell tanking to any degree
Perception for ambush/maneuver defense

[Lord Orbstar]

That is a LOT of MoC. If you can get better Lore for higher armor base, that would be good. This is me at Cap (+)

Obviously i am just playing with ambush and hide with extra points.

Until recently I had 40 ranks of MoC. I changed some skills around, bumped that along with bringing rolling krynch from 2 ranks to 3 ranks and I've noticed a HUGE difference in how often krynch will proc when I carry over on to a new target. I love it.

Where do you hunt, Orbastar? Any difficulties?

[Kastrel]

Definitely a good point on the MOC. You could drop 20 ranks and get back 200/80 TPs. That would be enough to knock you up to the next AsG through Transformation lore, which would up you from Brig to Chain, keeping in mind of course that in 4 levels, you will also increase 1 AsG, bringing you to Double Chain. You can then single MOC and bring it back up to 90 slowly.

[Lord Orbstar]

I hunt Nelemar. I am using normal 5x robes with no padding or resistances and 4x hand/foot wraps. I dropped Krynch stance as useless in the Temple. Slippery mind is all I run. It is CS that murders or when a Triton Radical casts some nasty spell. I can hide and jump out of them pretty well, but I am dropping hide/ambush for a second weapon style and maybe some MIU. Stance dancing is not very important, since my DS even in Offense is just fine. Again, the no padding and resistances on the robe are what cost me my life on occasion.

Liannonuel, your Combat Maneuver training is as follows:

Skill name Mnemonic Ranks
Combat Focus focus 1
Feint feint 5
Combat Mobility mobility 1
Surge of Strength surge 3
Evade Mastery emastery 3
Burst of Swiftness burst 3
Perfect Self perfectself 5
Punch Mastery punchmastery 3
Kick Mastery kmastery 2
Grapple Mastery gmastery 2
Slippery Mind slipperymind 3
Flurry of Blows flurry 3


I will use feint sometimes and spells just for flavor to mix it up.

I had 30 ranks at one point, giving me chain equivalent. I'm still hunting on the plateau, though, and inside the labyrinth. Critters there were doing more damage to me with chain over scale so I dropped back down. I'm not too concerned about it at the moment, especially since iron skin doesn't add CvA coverage.

[SpiffyJr]

I'm 60 and train in real armor (currently using double chain, goal is augmented). I'm converting mental TPs so it would cost me 1200 TPs to do what 600 TPs are currently doing. I'm also 1x MoC so I'm somewhat similar to your build. Iron Skin is cool and all but without the CvA it's essentially useless. Warding spells will ruin your day in a hurry without the CvA boost.

[Androidpk]

Does sonic armor have CvA?
