Monk



Monks indisputably possess the strongest ability for healing other characters. Divine Favor adds a healing buff to all monk spells, and many of the skills in this branch can be used to improve a monk's overall effectiveness. Healing Prayers are generally used for recovering from health loss, and many are unable to be used on the monk casting them. Protection Prayers is the attribute of choice for bonders, providing buffs to allies to improve their stats, and preventing damage. Smiting Prayers allow Monks to do considerable damage to enemies, especially the undead. The patron goddess of monks is Dwayna.

Though Smiting Prayers are powerful, monks working with other players are generally expected to not use these skills, and instead focus their attention and resources on healing or protecting their party. Although, there are also monk builds used to solo farm, refered to as 55 monks or invincimonks.

Primary Monk armor provides little protection, +10 Energy and +2 Energy Recovery, like most spell caster armor. Primary Monks usually have 30 base Energy and 4 Energy regeneration.

The Monk's primary attribute is Divine Favor.
