Introduction:

This is a work in progress, I currently work 40+ hour weeks, it will be a while before this entire guide is finished so please bare with me.

I never have (seriously) claimed to be a really good monk, but there are a lot of monks on this server who could use a good detailed guide on the class. I have a lot of information that I don't mind sharing and I think people would get some good use out of it. I played a monk on Tallon Zek on live for a while and fell in love with the class. It's partially the reason I don't have any other high level alts, I just don't enjoy playing anything that isn't my monk. Hopefully this guide will help some people out (it's not like I can do worse than the other guides already on the wiki).

Character Creation:

Why a monk?

Basically iksar is better than human in every single way but the trade off is you have to look at this awful character model forever. If you are playing on red, you should be rolling an iksar.

As for stat point allocation, I would recommend just dumping everything into stamina. It's a fairly difficult stat to max so I would recommend dumping all your points into it. Strength is really easy to come by as you approach late game so I wouldn't drop any points there. Dexterity isn't a terrible route to drop points into either if you are going the tranquil staff route.

At level 60 the difference between an iksar and a human isn't really that big of a deal on blue. I was able to do most of the duo artist challenge without a problem on my monk when I was able to convince a shaman to run around with me and complete it, I like to think of it as making a monk that has the difficulty slightly increased.
