Hey Ender what makes drunken appeal to you so much? THE main reason I chose it was because in EQ1 I did so much pulling with my monk and I figured with the huge defensive bonuses drunken would help a ton.
I am hoping it pans out that way.
This goes out to anyone who chose Drunken - Why do you like it?

I have a question. When we pick a path do we only get the higher level abilities of that path?
For example if i pick dragon, will i not get the upgrade to fegin death 1? or even worse do i lose feign death 1?
Thanks in advance for any information!

I duo / trio a lot with my friends / guildies and find myself in tanking positions 80% of the time I'm in combat. Regardless of whether or not there's a tank in the group, I do enough damage to pull agro and take the hits. The high dodge chance and the taunt-like attacks really aid with my assumed role as "make-shift tank". I do solo quite a bit too, and the extra dodge just further adds to my survivability.  |

Thanks Ender!
My monk right now will ALWAYS be grouped with atleast my Psionicist brother and I tank the whole time. In groups I also pull aggro even when I goading slap for the tank and I find the dodge rocks.

Drunken mastery does sound as a good choice really. But I have a question  Aum of the Stumbling Master Chanting this while meditating will allow you the chance to learn an available ability. What exactly does that mean? |

What exactly does that mean? Basically, it allows you to learn hidden master level abilities. These abilities will be unique for your style. For example a Drunken monk can meditate and use Aum of the Stumbling Master at 15 to learn Jeering Kick which is a Drunken Master move. A Dragon or Harmonious Body style monk wouldn't be able to learn that ability. |

I see. I assume that the other masteries have something alike for their path?

Yes, each master has there own special Aum and hidden abilities. Though I've yet to see a complete list of all of the hidden Master level moves.

Whatever you do- Dont go with Harmonious form until they do something about this Melee Evasion nerf. Dragon Monks finish fights with more HP because of their dmg. Right now against -1 level mobs Im finishing the fight with an average of 35-45% Health left, when before i was finishing with 85-90% Health left after even lvl 2 dot mobs.

I agree with the wise Valant, stay away from Harmonius, this last patch just killed a huge part of what was so enjoyable with Harmo.

Wasn't the nerf of Drunken even worse?
Anyway, right now, I don't really feel like playing a Monk at all.

With Drunken u are nerfed to getting 10% dodge at cost of 10% accuracy. (Down from 30%) With Harmonious u are nerfed to getting 13% melee avoidance (8% dodge 8% parry) at cost of 20% dps but also get -25% end cost. (Down from getting 51% melee avoidance, 20%dodge 20%parry 20%block) Which one is nerfed more badly? I'd say both were hit pretty bad. |
