Monk guide

The worship of Paagrio trains Orc Fighters who want to be strong physically, rather than having strength with weapons as priests. They seek to master the science of fisticuffs according to their religious background.

The most unique skill of Monks is a quick attack. They also use special damaging skills that gather spirits for attacking enemies (a.k.a. totem skills).

In soloing, Monks wear light armor, which helps to evade attacks from the enemy. Weapons and the first totem skill are also an efficient combination.

Focus Force can be a little tricky at first. Consider it a preparation skill — monk concentration, if you will. Use it before you use any of the Force skills to get an added bonus.

Using Focus Force will halt your attack if you are currently in battle.

You are an Orc! You are strong and mighty! You are not a tank! Orc Monks are outright damage dealers and get some amazing damage skills down the line due to their inner spirit strength.

Your fist skills set you apart from the Raider and Destroyer (tank versions of the Orc Fighter). Invest in them as often as you can. Your advantage here is that you really don't need a backup weapon.

Totems will be one of your mainstays. They can help speed you up, or slow down your enemy. The first one you get at Level 28, Wolf, will give you a speed boost. At 31 you get Bear, which slows down enemies and increases your power.

When you decide to venture to Cruma, be wary of using follow on a party member. Those bridges don't work well with your follow algorithm, and you are slower than other races.

Stunning Fist is your friend for party play — hit the critter and keep him still for a while. It's not that successful at lower levels (e.g., trained at 2), but later, your success will increase.

Force Blaster is good for attacks at slight range. Always use Battle Roar prior to going into a fight. It's basically a free heal over time.
