The thing here is what style would you want to play?

AGI monks are more fun to play and utilitarian. VIT Monks stand there and get hit like statues. :dancing:

Fact 1: Most DEX-VIT monks are BOTs because it takes forever to level them. :huh:

Fact 2: The Rep of the famed monks are because they have GR cards. Without that power card, VIT monks are easy to kill in pvp/woe. :o

Fact 3: as an addendum to fact 2, they also have tons of sp pots (honeys, jellies and yggs) :anxious:

If we were to take away all 3 facts, NO ONE would play VIT monks because it would take... let me see... a year and a quarter to level it to 99 (more or less in an average of 6-hour/day playtime).

Now that we've got that out of the way... let's focus on your build.

If you're not going to BOT (don't worry, I won't hold it against you if you do) I have to say you'll take a LOT of time to level without a party to help you. Because A) you can't attack fast enough and B)Even with your VIT, most monsters worth levelling on at your level still hurt when they hit (especially mobs).

If you stick with VIT - raise it to 60 total. By level 90's you should have 9k hp with the right cards. Be prepared to invest on tons of sp pots for EF and reloc.

If you want to add a little AGI - raise it to 40 total. That's an additional 10 to your Aspd. Not much, but it does make it more viable to level and reduces the cool down (will be even more important to Champs) B)

If your mindset is that AGI type monks are 'weaker', however, then let me just say I've whupped ass on so-called super-monks more times than I can count... and yes I'm AGI-based :evil:

As a final word of advice: PLAY FOR FUN... and heck, play because you WANT to have fun! :bday:

just asking...is 30 agi enough for that cooldown thing? /hmm

thanks! /thx


i play a vit type monk...you're right that you just stand there and get hit like a statue..^_^

im kind of an FS build monk...^_^

got high vit and int..^_^ downside: low str and dex.../wah

but i find it amusing when hunters ds me and sometimes agit defenders mob me...then they say, "GR!"....though i really dont have one..^_^ ...yeah, then i die...but its fun^_^

no reloc nor combo...just FO infil...stopblade.../hmm

i even survived the reflect shield from a sader..just got lucky i suppose ahihih...^_^


sometimes i wished i was an agi type...but when i think of those things that happened...i just smile...im like the incredible absorbing man...the omgs(sometimes) and comments they say are priceless.../heh
when the cat is away, the mouse is alone... /heh

birds of the same feather, are the same birds... /gawi

agi for monks? :)

PROS:
pvm wise
decreases "cooldown" (as tofu puts it) when casting spheres(that's why other monks prefer wagnaks(fck the spelling :lol: ) than chains because higher aspd=faster vigor casting /ok )

CONS:
you need at least 30+ agi IMO to notice the difference in cooldown.
more agi stats = lower dex/str = weaker/slower asura. hope it helps /no1

so i guess i should stick to my build. Hayy,, sasalo nanaman ako ng madaming damage :lol: di lang siguro ako sanay kasi buong RO life ko assassin ako <_< Thanks for the replies

ganyan din aq dati :lol: rogue aq so agi type din. pero masasanay ka rin. kasi kung PvP trip mo, you're really gonna need life for this one dahil baka patay ka na bago ka pa makapag cast ng EF hehehe :lol:

30 AGI will have an effect... you just won't notice it since it's so small. It really is noticeable at around AGI 60 and high DEX. You'll cast faster than pure DEX simply because the delay in between casting is so short. As an example, notice how much faster it is for AGI-DEX Hunters to spam DS than DEX-VIT Hunters.

This is why Champions in KRO using Zen (aka Hyper Spirit sphere) have a moderate amount of AGI.
