Monk



The Monk is often a support class for a group. Due to the Monk's abilities to heal the party you will most often see a Monk in the role of Healer. This is not all the Monk is capable of, though. The Monk's protection prayers can give buffs to the party to improve their stats, most notably their armor and health, while their smiting prayers allow them to do considerable damage to enemies, especially the undead.

While protection and smiting prayers can be useful in a battle they will often come second place to the Monk's healing prayers, and you can expect to see at least one healing Monk in any large group.

The Primary Monk's base armor provides low protection, +10 Energy and +2 Energy Recovery. A starting Primary Monk can expect to have 30 Maximum Energy and 4 Energy Recovery.

Only a Primary Monk receives the Divine Favor Attribute.
