No doubt. Thus why you use a +5e weapon.

I use this as well. It's cheap and widely available and the 10/10 is useful on all skills. (And JR, I don't care that the extra +5e is "bad" because it's a staff and not a one-handed weapon. I like it.

) I do have about 6 or 8 different weapon set-ups depending on what I am doing, including a -e set that takes me all the way to 23e and now a +5e sword. I wish I could tell you there is one "best" set for monking, but that's not the case. If you are using e-drain, Garbok's set is nice. For OoB, take the Hook Blood/Needle. MoR is just a pain as you can't run a +20% enchantment wrapping. A +60 health (or +10 armor) 20/20 staff would probably be just fine and you can make one yourself with a collectors staf and the upgrades. If you aren't particularly wealthy, +28/+29hp parts would do in a pinch. (Less than ideal, but enough to suffice.)

I misread the +5/30 thing, was under the impression you said staff. Even so, the only difference betwen those two is 2 extra energy. A staff can have the 20/20 inherent mod and the +30hp. If you think energy mods are so useless, the point is still the same.

Kind of getting tired of this now actually, think I'm only arguing with you due to you seemingly going out of your way to find fault in my first post (when there was none).

best solution is:
+5 energy
halves casting and halves recharge time of spells 10%
health +30

damage doesn't even count, only the energy and offcourse the stats, you won't need the damage

I use a 20% enchanting IDS and Wroth's Icon as primary and Wroth's Rod and Wroth's Icon as secondary. For PvP I have a negative energy set.

As soon as I finish factions I plan on grabbing on of the +5 energy swords and adding an enchanting mod to it.

Kepkhet's is 20/20 Prot and +15 energy. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Kepkhet%27s_Refuge

Set 1: Energy +5 weapon with +30 Health / 20/20 Protection off-hand (even though I want a 20% Faster Casting/+30 Health one).

Set 2: Garbok's Cane / 20/20 Inspiration Magic focus (I use the Faster Casting to avoid interupts for Mantra of Recall, just in case ^^ Haven't tested this alot actually, but I will

).

Set 3: +30 Energy, -2 Energy set.

Set 4: -7 Energy set.

Griev · May 05, 2006, 06:05 PM // 18:05

Set 1: +5 Energy sword (no mod yet, any suggestions?), +5/+45 divine icon
Set 2: Inspiration recharge items (e-drain monk)
Set 3: +30e, -2 regen set
Set 4: -7 energy set

The 3 energy doesnt hurt either.

I know Soul Wedding (EviL monk) does it for sure, or atleast has done in the past and you can't argue with success :P.

their monks are also using prestige wanderer´s armor@ gvg, wouldn´t the acolyte armor be better because of +10 armor while enchanted?

Jestah · May 13, 2006, 02:03 AM // 02:03

Yeah only wanderers armour is entirely passive in playing the build. The weapon set impacts in an entirely different way.

You could play with collectors armour without even bothering to consider how it affected you. The recharge kit requires regular CoPing so obviously its a conscious decision whereas the the armour could well be an inane one.

Habilon · May 13, 2006, 10:40 AM // 10:40

I found a great offhand from a collector in factions that gives +1 to inspiration (20%) and +30 health that could be really useful with MoR, Inspired Hex and Channeling ... but now need a 20/20 protection rod or wand or whatever, any suggestions?
