Monk or Runewarden?

I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. Can anyone just give me a pros/cons of each class?

Comments

  • Sure, from my opinion:
    Monk 
    Pros:
    {PVE} Average Bashing DPS at low to high (90) levels. Above Average DPS at 90+ due to 3 attacks (increasing critical strikes) (even with artefacts)
    {Both} Great Defense: Numb, Kai Heal, the whole Kaido tree, A little of the telepathy tree
    {PVP} Prep Class, can hit and run and continue until you get what you need
    {PVP} One of the best group classes, tons of skills
    {PVP} Different avenues of approach for different killing strategies
    {Both} Scales very well with artefacts
    {Both} Can use many different combinations of race specialisations and still be good

    Cons:
    {PVP} Being a prep class, since the limb damage formula change, it is one of the slowest prep classes in the game even with artefacts. ( Why I speculate most people quit monk and went something else) 
    {PVP} *** Lacks an instant kill ability like most other classes. Relies on pre damage before "killing" strat (enfeeble, double break, bbt x 3) dont get mad when they doesnt kill tanky people ... like almost all fighters have health artefacts now. It does have one 4 BBTS in a 30 seconds window but that is pretty close to impossible to get against anyone wish their salt.


    Background:
    I am not a very good fighter. I spent around 10k of RL money for a lot of artefacts and I did get my share of kills. I died horribly to anyone who know what they were doing though. With the limb damage formula nerf/change I feel like monk went from pretty good place to terrible. What needs to change is a reliable instant kill. They tried to do it with AXK kick increasing damage depending on how many limbs were broke but the speed at which I can prep a limb to break is a joke especially with a 1600 credit artefact. BM, Sylvan, Knight can prep faster than you currently off the top of my head

    If you're an indecisive person, Runewarden is the epitome of indecisiveness.
    Accepted in every faction. Four weaponmastery specs are different enough combat-wise to be considered four entire classes. Only costs 100 lessons to swap specs (same price as learning a weapon proficiency + comes -with- the proficiency you'll need)

  • Isn't Runewarden also the most popular class in the game these days. Pretty close anyhow.
  • New stuff is always popular.
  • Pretty sure monk is also accepted in every faction.

    New Runewarden definitely offers more playstyle options though through the different specialisations, but I think a big question here is what would you rather roleplay as: a monk or a knight? Which idea sounds more exciting?

    Picking a class purely for its mechanics, particularly when relatively new, strikes me as a mistake.

    Not that you need to roleplay a knight, necessarily, even if you play a knight class. 

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...

  • now that i can deflect arrows in flight and i use a silver bastard sword, i'm pretty much roleplaying a witcher
