Hehe..
I know a Mook Ranger Female (necklaces of Stamina and such), Faerie Ninja with CoC or other character may be easier/better...But I am working on a Dwarf Male Monk. Why?
Powerful Damage reduction from:
- MONK Class
- DWARF Race
- Eventually, from the VITALITY=100 Secret Skill
At level 11, still without maxed Vitality, I already got a 19% Damage Reduction.
I am dealing with Metal Slimes in the Monastery and having some problems with Stamina, of course.
I am pumping up his Vitality rating along with Dexterity and Speed and some Strength, at times. He is already dealing 2 strikes and 2 attacks.
I have been training Psionics to level 60 with Divine Trap and can use the Insanity Spell at max level. Maybe I will max it in Monastery, cause I tried to leave the Monastery and got decimated by a group of Bandits.
MY PLANS:
- Stay in Monastery and Max Stealth, (which I should have done, already)
- Also stay in Monastery and Max Martial Arts, Critical Strike (already at 60) and Psionics/Mental
Question: Do you think I can take on this game with this character? Should I mix with other classes to make him stronger? Any hints?
Thank you!!!

My DWARF MALE MONK has been making great progress.
I got from level 14 to level 17 since I last posted here. I left the Monastery because - I don’t know why – some stupid and very weak enemies started to appear, even though Emerald and Flesheater Slimes also show up. My best fight in Monastery was against 4 Flesheater Slimes. Since I am soloing, I earned 241.000 Experience!!! : ) I am getting good experience in Arnika, but I may go back to the Monastery.
My character is like this:
DWARF MALE MONK
LEVEL 17
STR 72
INT 50
PIE 50
VIT 100 (finally)
DEX 71
SPD 58
SEN 55
HIT POINTS: 164 (Very good for a Monk at this level!) AC: 14
Close Combat-79 Martial Arts-108 (Monks got +25% here) Stealth-100 Psionics-78 Mental-94
And with Vitality=100 IronSkin-3 (just got it, put 3 points at level up)
Damage Resistance: When I was at level 16, it was still 22% (same value from level 14). When I got to level 17, some racial and class-based bonus took place again, plus I got 3 points in Ironskin. My Damage Resistance jumped from 22% to a very nice 29% !!! Now that’s the way I like it.
Also, Stamina has not troubled me so much, lately. I seem to be able to get through hard fights and not fall asleep.
And... I am dealing 2 Kick Attacks with 3 Swings each and 2 Punch attacks with 3 Swings each (at least as told in my status screen). Damage is at 9-26 (kick) 5-20 (punch). As for spells, they are working great, specially Haste (exclusive to the Psionics book). Problem is, I dont have any armorplate/enchanted blade/magic sceen buffs.. But I think I can make it!
Well, that was another update, I will keep you posted. I wait your comments!
And if anyone has experience playing a Dwarf Monk please let me know. If anyone has any hint or comment, please share your thoughts. If anyone knows if Damage Resistance has a cap, a maximum value, please let me know.
Thanks and good week!
