Talk:Basic Monk

"Average specialisated"?
What does that even mean? Anyway, I found this build and its description highly un-illuminating. Yes, the "basic" in the name is key -- one might even call this build the developmentally-challenged love child of Lina and Mhenlo. In my opinion (which admittedly isn't worth much), any monk build must do at least one---and preferably more---of the following exceptionally well: energy management, evasion, condition/hex countering, healing, protection. This build does, at best, a passable job with healing. It seems to me that the Fi Boon Healer is superior to it in every way. Am I being too harsh? -- Stabber 03:46, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree. When I think "Basic Monk," it can mean one of three things: Basic Healing, Basic Protection (which includes bonding), and Basic Smiting.  Maybe we could have those three in there?  This build doesn't even use Divine Favor to its full potential, so what's the point of being Monk primary?  I'd say it can keep most of its skills, but the attributes need to be switched around.  Either that, subdivide it into the three 'basics' I mentioned. --TheSpectator 17:05, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
