Ever tried calculating the total of a monk's dmg and range's dmg ? some ranges dont even use good bullets... or arrows.. and not a big difference.a sata does 400 or 500 dmg but then the daggers hit for like 4 dmg each or something... so all DDs are balanced and it depends what kinda dd u need.i remember doing bcnm with range and we all died so we got a drg and he kicked ass along with that i was able to keep hate.
 
Yeh i feel like quitting too; i didnt play the past 3 days.I dont think i'll ever afford the hauby and i aint buying gil like most fcktards lowzers do.....get a life bich and dont raise the fckin prices cuz u have nothing to do but bich about other ppl's armor and u sit at home and ur wife works for u so u can buy gil online. :evil:

When did anyone give you permission to post in my threads? At the very least try to not speak retard when you do, thanks.
 
I never got much invites till reaching 70s. Yes even after 65 where you are suppose to be getting some invites it never happend to me. Usually I was the one who started the group, this involved starting at the right time, right place to avoid competition, and rivals rising. First thing in the morning were usually my best bet. So heavy exping happend only on weekends. Monks has a disadvantage of not being able to perform distortion which unfortunately will be the main source of skill chain for the mobs you fight due to its weakness relies on that element.

Sometimes people invite some "not so good" players because they know them, they are friends and so on. Sometimes they invite people since they were the first name they have found, such as begining with A or something. Gear, well this is something you cannot judge the players. Reputation is another factor which is slow to spread out. In fact I never invited someone because he was good. Nor anything happend with other leaders inviting people. Bad rumors spread faster than good reputation.

Thats all I got to say.

Monks rule. I see em piss off a lot of Paladins because they steal hate and don't even try to do it... they just do. Monks = Party yelling at the WHM: "DON'T HASTE THE F'ING MONK!" And the monk Laughing.

Heh.. the rare times I do EXP these days, I demand not to be hasted. I pull aggro well enough alone with just 11% from gear, I don't need it pasted on me. :(
 
Woopsie. Anyway..

Every Monk suffers the 45~60 blues. People are so hopped up on distortion being "the best" chain, they forget all about Induration.

Yes people, Monks can start an Ice-based chain for your poor little robber crab camps before 60. Assuming you're not using a THF in the Party, this is a good alternative.

In my time in the 40's, I've seen plenty of other Monks. None of them - I mean NONE of them - have the gear I do. And the ones I've partied with have absolutely sucked compared to me

Well, not my main character, but my alternate.

I've got a Hume Monk - Jadey (named after my girlfriend, I'm so cute awww) who I've taken a lot of time and effort to abso-fucking-lutely pimp out.

omg could this be the reason ?
 
m,nk pts hard to get thru lv.40-60ish, after that, they get pts fast an fly to 75^^
 
Cubs, not sure what lv your mnk is at the moment, but i'd be happy to PT with you. I'll keep my eye out for jadey when i'm making a pt
 
Humm... well, I hope you stick with it Cubs. Every time I partied with a MNK, most of the people go: "OMG, you can dish out that much damage??" Do'h, he's a MNK... sure he does!

Anyway, I'd love to see you in action one of these days. Just a suggestion:

You guys heard about the BLM cannon parties. I also red on the Ranger forum on Alla that Rangers now do the same thing, 4 of them or even 5, with a brd/whm. They stand a little away from each other and spread the hate around. The mobs basically spend the whole fight running from one to the other and it's suppose to be very efficient.

I'm just wondering, if you gather 3 other mnks that have the same problem at finding partys, could be something you can try. Sub Nin and get some +attk food, I don't know. Spreading the hate around amongst 4 mnk, with a whm healing and maybe a rng pulling, that might work.

Just a thought, might makes no sense at all, but maybe something worth looking at :)
 
This with BLM and RNG cannons, Veresko, is that they can stand apart. In the monk case you all need to be close to each other, or you can't hit. Also if the mnks sub nin the rng could easily take hate for the fight... at least after a WS.

I might be wrong though.
 
Humm, yeah I though about that proximity thing that might be a problem.


How about subbing blm and keep Blaze Spike or something else up!! :lol:

It might not work, but surely 4 mnks together would tear through a mob very quickly.
 
This kindof inspired to to not give up...kindof.
<-- 8 consecutive hours of no party on SMN, you'd think someone who can time a Tachi: Enpi / Tail Whip / Aero II / Starburst / Drain combo in a party would at least get a little praise. =\



Anyhow...about MNK....dunno why they're so disreputable, I personally love MNKs...my...uhh.....ex-bf was a mnk for the longest time and quit because of that party problem too...
 
Don't give up cub, you do have a nack to pick those hard-to-get-pt jobs though. I had the same problem with smn, yet I managed to level it. The pair yourself with a highly wanted job is GOLD. My good friend achelois and I (before achelois was achelois) paired ourself with Gregor,a pld. So me, the smn, and he the monk, had a full pt in 3 seconds from when we logged on, and this allowed me to burn through 60-70 range.

Now that I'm rdm, me and achelois have partied most of our levels, I feel bad for him being a monk, but with me he's managed to keep his levels nice and high with me. Of course, if you are popular that helps too. Let's look at Jayson.. he's outleveled me as monk, lol. Though it's probably because I've been having no internet for 2 weeks.. Anyways, we used to party once and a while, our pt leader would be like "get Jayson that monk, he's really good." A little later turns out he doesn't know him personaly..just knows he's a 75... lol. ; ;
 
Mnk cannon party works VERY well against undead. Don't bother subbing anything but war unless you end up using a WS that can be SA. I've done it in Gustav Tunnel and King Ron's Tomb. It's great. All the mnks get TP at an amazing rate. Undead rarely spawn in areas where you have to worry about not using -ga spells or aoe WS. Undead might aggro, but I've never had one link with another during the entire time I've pulled. Once you get 225 WS, with 3 mnks you can do a light skill chain. I think it's Spinning Attack > Raging Fists > Dragon Kick.
Bring a whm along for curaga's and a rdm or brd to keep up the refresh (preferably a brd as lullaby is a light based sleep). A great blm can MB at fusion and light. Or just add another mnk for more damage.
I've partied many times with two mnks and a tank against undead and only one tank has ever managed to keep hate for decent amount of time and that was Random the pld. I'd say bring a smn for stoneskin, but I've yet to pt with a decent smn that didn't think main healing was beneath them. :roll: Hmmm. smn, rdm and blm might work. Just have the rdm main heal. Meh. Then you'd have to find a rdm that didn't mind being main healer.
So, in short, work with what you have. You'd be amazed at the job combos that somehow manage to work. One of the best parties I've ever had was mnk, mnk, mnk, brd, whm, blm. I've had perfect party setups that never make it past chain 3 and I've had party setups like war, rngx2, mnk, brd, rdm always pull in chain 5's for about 6k an hour. No whm or blm?!? OMG! WTF! NOOB! :lol:
