logs from Monk beta testing

Remember Savants will have access to Minor Mental as well and will likely make use of 1201 as a staple spell early on.

So, 2025 for Savants?

On a serious note, I thought Sirina (or some other senior GS person) said the plans for Savants were on hold for a long time, with no plans for them any time soon.

If your post was sarcastic, my sarcasm meter failed.

So, what services do monks perform (e.g., rogues=locksmith, clerics=resurrections, empaths=healing, etc.)? Alternatively, how easy could a monk cross-train in skills like locksmithing?

Everyone should also post what race they are with their monk, since some I am sure would be interested to see how Unarmed Combat works for the smaller races for example

Seems like the best plan is to tk then kick the head

NO.

Sweep the leg.

Granted, savants are likely a long way off. However, if the design scheme dictates that they will make use of the minor mental spell circle, it would stand to reason that the circle itself should be designed with savant use in mind as well as monks. Not every spell in a shared circle is useful to all people, as I'm sure you're aware.

I've yet to post any logs myself, but I rolled up an erithi. Their docs skew them towards the mental-focused classes, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Monks = spawning shit to help you farm.

Also, any minor mental buffs castable on others.

As far as something that will be unique that no other class will ever be able to do (Savants will get Minor Mental too after all), I don't think they have anything yet.

1713 Mind Over Body

The caster uses his mental concentration to make the physically taxing activities of his group easier to undertake. This reduces stamina cost for all actions by 20 percent. Training in Mental Lore, Telepathy increases the reduction by 5% per seed 3 of skill bonus/10.

We don't know the duration though. Or if you have to remain grouped with the monk.

That might end up being the primary monk service though. Someone needs to test duration/grouping in the beta instance.
