Monk Class Guide

Currently under Major work.

What is a Monk
A dictionary description of a Monk: A man who is a member of a brotherhood living in a monastery and devoted to a discipline prescribed by his order.

Monk are an odd class in Everquest 2. They are the only fighter class, along with bruisers not to wear plate armor. There hit points are quite low compared to most plate classes, and they lack shields, so how does a monk tank?

Most will say they don't, and something along the lines of reroll, but a well played monk can be one of the highest melee hitters in the game, and tank well. Hopefully through this guide I will tell you how.

First Steps
First of all, lets look at Monk "Green" stats. The three stats you really want are agility (which governs your dodge and other skills along that line), Strength (which governs your damage), and Stamina (that governs your health). Intelligence and Wisdom are not really needed. To give you an idea of what you need, at level 80, 1200 strength in a group is good.

Next, lets look at gear ((Continuing it later))
