Riiiiight...
Okay... let me first state one thing.
WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS!!! lol Monks are meant to be defensive, so in that aspect they should not have taekwando/karate/ninjitsu/fuzzle nugget attacks in the first place, that is where the secondary or primary power set comes into play. I could see some form of martial arts coming out in the future expansions but it would seem very weird I could see it now... (Me)-((enter expansion name here)) eh? Hmmm, all these cool new classes, etc....neat!!...wait...martial arts? WTF? Seriously though, I could only see martial arts working in it if it if they were magic moves. Normal martial arts would not be that effective against an archer...mage...or a group of angry bearded men weilding swords, axes, aces, etc. Eh, that's my opinion and I am sticking to it. |

the thing with martial arts is they have high damage and can attack fast, but have poor armor, which is why people would still pick warrior over monk. this is coming from the perspective of D&D games and EverQuest II |

The Unarmed class could probably be an amalgamation of Necro and Ele, being able to pull off debuffs, knockdowns and hey, maybe the first class to actually be able to inflict the 'exhaustion' condition, to compensate for the fact that it won't hit as hard as Warriors. |

haha... no... definatly not. he's an archer with a couple small swords. he rarely does anything ... er... ninja-like. he stabs and slices stuff a lot... and one time he did that thing where he rides the shield down the stairs... and one time he flipped onto his horse... none of that was in a the book, however... so... he's not a ninja... he's a nimble elf.
anyway... they say being quoted is the greatest honor right? heh. |

How well do you think hands and feet would be against swords and hammers?

Yes they disable people and maybe endure attacks better than other Char, the shaolin can bend a spear pointing at its nck and using the neck to bend the spear. They can also have Metal fists??? and probably have spells that cue up combos like other "action" games. for example (kick, punch, kick) first you kick the enemy to the ground u punch him which makes him get a deep wound then kick him to make him dazed... And basically Martial artist are speed fighters ad warriors are strength. So when they're so many ranged professions why not have many melee professions.
What I think the attributes should be Primary: Agility (increases attack rate and decreasing casting times) Kung Fu (basically kick punch moves) Chi (using the power of chi, focusing the mind...) Spirit of the Dragon (Extreme power.......*no flying*) Last edited by gangguard; Apr 04, 2005 at 10:01 AM // 10:01.. |

I never understood why martial art monk was so popular. I know it probably came from NWN, but this is just absurd. Every game in development so far has a bunch of kiddies asking for monks=martial artists.

Diablo 1 was never popular enough to make a big impact. Compare the people who played Diablo 2 or Starcraft to the people who've even played Diablo 1. You'll see a massive difference.

well final fantasy tactics had a monk that used fist attacks.. and it was quite a nice job class. My favorite attack was earth slash where you punched the ground and created a shockwave that attacked all enemies in a straight line. also they did alot of damage because they always aimed at the head (a vital spot for non helmet wearers).
Now going by real life most monks are robe wearing spiritual poeple who carry walking sticks so to speak(using moron talk to explain to those poeple, not dissin anyone). any if we were aim at healers why not call them clerics or medics but seriously why change something that we have grown acustom to in the game. now a ninja or assassin would fit the fight role nicely or hey even the profession being called martial artist.. wow thats hard to come up with |

It's pretty clear that this thread is moving off into the land of candyfloss and unicorns. Much as some people would like to have a Grand Unified Role Playing System where we can all play our dual-wielding ninja/monk/shadow mages with velociraptor mounts, saddly, it looks like Guild Wars is not trying to be a carbon copy of each and every other game ever released. Imagine that, huh?
Locked.
