Yea thats good. Plant build is good. Spin to win monk is insane, Was doing fully juiced islands eventually on that with not too* much invested (couple hundred divs? forget how much HH was last season). Don't think you can go wrong with any of those.

Yeah I love playing my monk and I'm doing the soul brother build. I don't think my DPS is super duper, but I think I have like 95% deflection, 90% not to be critted, I'm about 65 invasion, and then lots of energy shield.

I think if I want to push my damage up I got to screw around with a low life stuff but I don't know how any of that works.

My gemling twister does stupid damage and as much faster but he's still kind of squishy. I'll find out kind of vacillate between the two of them based upon whatever the hell I'm doing. If I just need to burn through a map to get to an objective I'll play the gemling, and if I'm going to fight some heavy duty bosses or expeditions I'll jump on my monk.

Having learned how the game operates now, if I make another character in the new stuff I'll probably play Monk again. Should at least be an easier leveling process and stuff but I don't plan on abandoning my two characters at all because there's still so much stuff I can do and have fun with.

I do know it'll be mandatory for me to try to get a mageblood ASAP. That goddamn belt is just so powerful, and probably the biggest upgrade that I've noticed with my characters.

Seems like it will be a juiced up event league at least. I'll make Dr.Retarded Dr.Retarded pay me back all the divs with great interest rates so I can overpower everything!

I found this one thats seems like a good start.

One of the best ways to go low life for monk is the Atziri communion support gem. This lets you reserve life instead of spirit. A 100 spirit skill will take you to low life.

Plants druid is really good to start. That shit is EZ 1- 2 button build that destroys everything without gear. And scales silly with gear. all you do is walk forward pressing 1 button and everything dies. Wen boss you press the other button too.

Yea plants are great, the only issue I have with the build is that it does not feel very cool visually, the plant stuff is kinda meh, maybe the MTX stuff makes it look cooler. Also the physical sound effect is kinda underwhelming. But it's strong and easy to get going.

Best of all its starts being good at lv1. You dont need to wade through the roughest part of the game only to score later where everything scales well then.

See I don't even know what the hell you're talking about. I find that I learn something new everyday with this game, and that's why it's great.

I have been running the temple lately, and I find that I actually really enjoy that whole mechanic once I kind of wrapped my head around it.

Plus everything with Aztec Iron Man is just cool.

I've actually got two of my other buddies interested in playing the game and I think they're downloading it this weekend and I'm going to set them up. Was going to roll a third character and just trying to figure out what to do. Was looking at maybe playing an oracle, or maybe I'll do the monkey man stuff. I just don't really know a lot about the other classes.

Spin2win monk is the best league starter I’ve ever played… going to wait for 1.0 I think, don’t need another multi hundred hour time sink atm…

This is my starter, at the end game I deviate a fuck ton and stack a bunch of spirit, end up with beserk, Scavaged plating, arctic armour, herald of fire/thunder, ghost dance/wind dancer and eternal rage. Takes some work to get the spirit to do it but it can be done. The augmented flesh ravens touch in the helm and unset rings, makes it tanky as fuck as it’s easy to get 90% armour and close to 60% evasion when surrounded.

if you do this at the end game don’t forget to get twice corrupted gems that add a level and quality, can really boot the shit out of things.

Nahh monk sucks to start with. Especially with no cash and no gear. Its literally the weakest of all the classes to start with. Shit start skills that do shit dmg and is way too gear dependent because of it. Better as a 2nd character when you have some coin to invest. If they gave the monk some better start skills, that be another thing. But as it stands now, meh. I know they are strong at end game, but to wade through swamps to ge tthere is painful.

I mean start what you want to start with, Im just saying that monk is weak as starter.

Besides you know once 1.0 rolls around the FOTM will be the duelist. Like the monk was in .5

If you try to twice corrupt a skill gem is there a chance that it gets destroyed? That's probably something I need to sit down and look at with all of my stuff, because I don't think I've done anything other than just adding quality with the prism thing.

I did do the Raven trickster about 50 times over a couple of evenings recently and finally got a raven touched shard. I just have to figure out a damn helmet and what I want to inscribe on it. The problem is I like the helmet that has the bodock monster smashing and freezing people, but I also want to try to have two sockets. I'm just not really sure on what passive skill to anoint for either my monk or my legionnaire.

I was thinking I might do the thaumaturgic generator maybe because I could use it on both characters.

I’ve found for Gemling, Paragon on necklace (for reselling and upgrading ) and Augmented flesh for the Raven touched .

As far as the gems, I’ve found it’s just cheaper to buy the gem and look at it like purchasing an upgraded item. I did two gems myself and it cost me like 40 div to do it, cost 21 div per gem on the AH and I could have made up the difference in maps in the time it took me to do it myself .

Paragon

+5% to Quality of all Skills +5 to all Attributes

You can search for practically anything on this site and it'll have it. Even lists the obscure stuff like jewels that change the passive tree, etc.

It's not as braindead easy as plants or monkey but it's extremely viable for starter. Just frustrating for first couple acts.

Nearly every Gemling will have paragon, not all of them will go augmented flesh, using the 100 spirit based free skill neck, you might not be able to afford say a 50 spirit, 5 quality, 3 proje skill and then whatever your 4th is, defense or a stat roll. So when you instill it, go with paragon because all gemlings want paragon and you will find yourself upgrading that neck a few times because the best rolled ones are super fucking expensive.
