Mad cuz bad much? All you have done is insult but you have displayed no knowledge of the game in this thread. Next time I will offer you a coffee, with "cream", just the way you like it.

Someone who knows stuff just answers, maybe he/she will mock but while Rubbinns ultimately posted the answer you have shown what you know about the game playing the asshole without an answer, it's ok. You didn't knew the answer but I forgive you, fuck off now (or keep posting, like i give a fuck)

Don’t encourage him, nerfs are just about to be sent out

Idk, followed the forums for a coupla years and Rubins is the guy who acts better than anyone else, then posts other peoples builds when confronted,

Fair play, but idk what’s the point of looking good on a DDO forums, especially after a while people realise the trash.

The vault for me has always been those builds that are really OP, and sometimes they post those builds, but rubins has always been the guy to say he’s got that super secret build which is “the best” but hasn’t actually been the first guy to show a build off ever.

Tbh it pissed me off, but idk after a while it became clear he’s just the a guy who stalks DDO forums 24/7 so he finds decent builds on the forums before me, then posts them as a “I used this guys guild but made it better, not telling you or showing your how or why I’m better, but look how many DDOVAULT posts I have, so that must mean I know what I’m doing”

I played Monk for a good while. I recall having an AC monk in the 20 cap days and AC tanking VOD/TOD. Good times.

In the current game, monk dps is good (not great), and their tactics are great (best part of monk). Their most glaring drawback is MRR. It all works at lower levels. They're fun, they're fast, etc. But, when you start getting into reaper the MRR is a problem. You have to be extra good at positioning, managing aggro, and picking targets to make it work well. Even then, you're just get one-shot more often. This isn't theoretical. I run stuff with a friend who plays a monk. He's a better player than me, and he dies more often, and I get more kills. He also has more Reaper points by like 40%. So...

Monks HAVE to use a filigree set for MRR that locks them out of more dps, and even then their MRR is 1/2 or less than 1/2 of the armor-wearing dps toons.

I'm talking about pure wis handwrap monks here. I don't know much about staff builds except that their dps is probably worse. The rest applies.


Bottom line: They're fun and they work in everything R1 and below. If that's your goal, have fun! (No sarcasm). As it gets higher tier, you become more of a crappy bard. Support the party with tactics, minor buffs, and heals. That's my take.

I really enjoyed my Quivering Palm DC monk before they nerfed QP. You can still play them like that. You just have to build around that heavily.

Played an R1 Shroud the other night with a top-tier monk like you describe (even better than my friend), and he got one-shot at the beginning of Part 4 from trash mob. Now, tbf, that was also a lag spike--because SSG. But, it revealed again how monk defenses are sub-par in reaper. 

Also, why the FUCK can't we have 3 pieces of information listed for every goddamn ability and action in the game.

Source of the effect (character, enemy, etc)
type of effect (enhancement, insight, etc)
and Does It Fucking Work on Goddamn Red Named Fucking Bosses

Its a combination of lack of public information from SSG and the guy who writes the wiki being a dumbfuck. Same reason why simple, valuable information like "When two abilities are listed (comma separated), it means it will use the highest one." can be so difficult to find. What we veteran players accept as common knowledge does sometimes need to be confirmed, and needs to be someplace accessible.

Also, as I've observed: ALL the information about mobs on the wiki is is basically fucking useless. I don't think its been updated since pre-motu and none of it was accurate then.

FYI, while we are learning about stats, modifiers and all that ddo stuff.  It turns out there is an entire subforum here on the vault devoted to specific allocations of classes, stat points, enhancement trees, you know all that ddo stuff.  Turns out the ddo players refer to these combinations and point allocations as "builds".  Once you have finished cluttering up the main discussion forum at some point you can try out the appropriate subforum.  Rubbins has other assholes to tear open now that yours is the new crater lake...

Now that I'm collecting scalps with my ass checks making words out of farts, I suppose I need to have one final, loving, insult.
