  • does a monk dual wield his fists?

    Just wondering does a monk dual wield his fists / claws, meaning does he swing both his fists / claws?

    It counts as 1 weapon, and attacks twice.

    For example, a warrior swings his 2handed sword and hits. Then the monk does a left punch, and then a right punch. Even though he did 2 punches, it's like 1 turn cause he will always hit twice. Sometimes when you're higher level you will do a left, a right, and then a massive kick... all that is a single turn.

      *wonders if this has been posted somewhere else*

      Ok so with a WAR it's:
      Turn one: Swing Thud *damage*
      Turn two: Swing Thud *damage* etc.

      Now with a MNK, is it
      Turn one: Punch, punch *damage*
      Turn two: Punch, punch [maybe] kick *damage* etc.

      or

      Turn one: Punch *damage* Punch *damage*
      Turn two: Punch *damage* Punch *damage* [maybe] Kick *damage* etc.

      ???
      Two Haikous for thought...

      Look! A sick chicken!
      I give him some of my soup;
      It was his brother.

      Watch the rabbit hop

          u know what I am growing so close to this class, It's like my like. *Thinks Of Jam in Guilty gear XX* I was wandering for the Hundredpuches or any technique, do i get to se mee kicking some @$$ like do I see me puch, kick punch, punch, punch, backflip Kick, puck, jump in the air and start wailing on this crap. Or is it something stupid like u see ur hands roate 360 degrees over and over...In basic terms Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or (No i never played his game) Sonic the hedge hog's feet LOL If it looks cool like some martial arts Tai Chi Quan crap I'm going to kick some butt. but if it's some ameture fighting then no! I also wanted to know if u can fight good with no wepon at all. I'd loved to fight like that! Or can u even fight with ur fist at all. Cause I always see a weapon in someones hands. I would like to see me pulling off some of those more difficult moves I can't do in real life...like a true flying kick..I can go about 2and1/2 feet with that before I fall...it sux.

            The Hundred Fists is an ability strictly for the monk that can only be used every 2 hours. It basically speeds up your attack for 30 seconds. Normally a monk will only hit an enemy about 6-8 times in 30 seconds but if you use this ability the monk will hit the enemy about 100 times in the same amount of time. Because of this ability's massive destruction in such short time, the monk is usually wanted for missions where you have to fight an enemy "Boss" character.

            Every hit a monk makes it will create 5-6 Tactical Points, for every 100 Tactical Points you'll be able to use your Weapon Skill.
            Monks Weapon Skills:
            Combo - 3 hit move consists of right punch, left punch, low kick
            Tackle - Charge at the enemy in a tackle motion and stun the enemy for a few seconds
            Tankei - Throw a green energy ball at the enemy that lowers the defense of the enemy
            Backhand Blow - a backhand blow hehe
            Rangeki - 5 hit move consists of punchx4 & high kick
            Spin Attack - a move that can hit multiple enemies in the same area
            Kuumeiken - think of it as DragonBall Z's Kamehameha
            Souryuukyaku - 2 hit spining low & high kick (kinda like Street Fighter's Ryu or Ken's spin kick move)

              oh ok...i'm now wandering if the chi attacks look realistic..if they are they would be semitransparent at beginners lvls and a more solid but still translucent hmmm. ne ways this class sounds cool but i already know it's defense sux. so if i don't see no action (lol) I'm not being that class...still can u use ur fist or do u have to have a weapon??? the second thing is that do monks have any interesting stats like the ability to resist poison. or hp up? I still don't get the subclass system thats y u get the 1/2 of ur lvl then u also get their attacks? wat about their armor and weps? I was thinking of making this my subclass for a while!

                The class isnt really designed for tanking needs. Its designed to deal large amounts of damage really, but can tank in pinches, just not as well as true tanks. Great overall class though

                    Monk is tied with the highest Vit, the only reason Paladin has better def is because of his passive Physical def boosts and he can wear heavy armor.

                    Its not that tough to figure out the sub-job system if you use the search feature and READ.
                    And if you actually LOOKED on this site, you'd know the abilities of every class (I'm not even talking about the search feature, its on the main site.)

                      Sorry...

                      As a martial artist myself, The MA that the monk does looks like basic thai boxing. low kicks and high punches. It's not very exciting... then again, I'm only lvl 10

                        When you use his 2 hr ability, I think it looks pretty cool. Yeah, it is just puches and low kicks, but now the delay is so low, that it just looks like your just beating the crap outta them. Only problem is I wanna kill more than just one tough moster every 2 hr.
