 * I wouldn't say that. It's just totally not in-depth. Missing parts are (among others): kiting, focus swapping, energy management, hex removal, condition removal. I might add the sections in question when I find the time. --Nilles 05:19, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

Invincimonk
In section Runes and Armor, it says that the 55 invincimonk should have the lowest possible armor rating armor. This is absolutely not the case, since it doesn't matter AT ALL what kind of armor is used for a 55 invincimonk. The only reason why an invincimonk would want to use an armor with low AL, is that it usually is the cheapest to purchase. An invincimonk could even run around in FoW armor and be effective.

Another thing is, you mention that an invincimonk would only need 3 pieces of armor, again, this is not correct. In order to be able to obtain a HP level of 55, an invincimonk requires 5 armor pieces with 5 Superior Runes (and of course none of those 5 should be a Superior Vigor). (Although I just realised that you may have meant it a bit different than it is currently written.) --CoRrRan 03:23, 10 May 2006 (CDT)


 * let me address your points in order:


 * 1) Ar level is the major deciding factor for AI targeting routeens, since the 55 monk is the prefered target in any situation, they're AR should be as low as posible.
 * 2) if you read the article, you'll see that above i recomend vestiments of Superior favor and three headpeices with Superior runes. since, as you point out, the 55 suit is nothing but standard armor with 5 superior runes, you'll only need Sandals, hand wraps and leggings with superior runes. --Honorable Sarah 10:30, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Since Invincimonks are either always alone, or with a Necromancer in UW, it doesn't matter what the AI thinks is a nice target. Alone he is always the target anyway and in UW with a Necro, the Necro should always wait until the monsters have aggro'd the Invincimonk before coming in casting range of the Invincimonk and the attacking monsters. (And AL isn't the only variable taken into account by the monster AI.)
 * Yep, this is what I thought you meant by that. I understand your explanation, but find it somewhat strange that you are contradicting yourself now, by saying that the Invincimonk can put on 2 pieces of armor with AL=60. --CoRrRan 19:29, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
