Monk



Monks undisputably possess the strongest abilities for healing other characters, using both Healing Prayers and Divine Favor. Protection Prayers provide buffs to the party to improve their stats, notably armor and health, while Smiting Prayers allows Monks to do considerable damage to enemies, especially the undead.

While protection and smiting prayers are useful, they often come second to Healing Prayers and Divine Favor, and you usually see at least one healing Monk in any large group.

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

The Monk's primary attribute is Divine Favor, it can only be used by a primary Monk.
