was monk ever supposed to be a combat class

[melikerunescape]

I've been wondering something. Did jagex ever intend on have a monk combat class to go along with melee, mage, and range? I know prayer is usually just used as a sort of combat booster, but I was wondering if that is what they were thinking or if they really thought players would create accounts that are prayer bassed. If you notice the adventurers in the lost city quest are of the 4 different combat types and not just 3. So that right there says that they might think of prayer as its own form of combat. If this is the case I believe jagex should improve prayer so that it can become more of its own indipendent combate type.

They would have to make a big prayer update for that to ever happen.

I'd freakin' love it.

It's a PKing TRIANGLE not a square and

 

 

 

Monks have no weapons

[abyssalreaper]

WRONG maces s*ck at fighting but they give a prayer boost and i think that there should be some range and mage prayers for itto be independant but it is its own skill because of the prayer beasts

[lachlanhtm]

hmmm but who would they beat? mage i spose

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or they could be good defenceivy against all, but weak powerwise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

eg:hit low but dont get hit much

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but if u did that you would need a high hit low def making it a pentagon :shock:

In traditional rpgs, there were 4 or 5 character classes that would make up an adventuriny party: Warrior, Ranger, Wizard, Priest, Rogue (well, originally Thief, but some unmentionable parental groups took exception to their kids having fun pretending to be thieves).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looks like Jagex was originally trying to somewhat mirror that type of adventuring party, sans the rogue (thief) due to the target audience, but couldn't figure out how to work in a class with healing, and priest-classes are kinda useless without either healing or a good offensive weapon or set of spells.

what about if they had aura's or defencive spells (ring of recoil style)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yep straight from diablo 2 :)

[the_drunk_dude]

the thing is prayer alone cant get u anywhere if u have 1attc/str/rang/mag

 

 

 

so its not a combat class

[melikerunescape]

well maybe they could create prayers that allowed you to hit high without strength or attack or magic or range.

[cadburys_egg]

Id like to see someone with 99 pray, 60 attk, 60 str, 60 def... That would be pure ownage...

[Link_026_is_the_best]

proably a "monk" pure would be like 99 prayer, 99 strength with d mace, 1 def and 60 atk

[Toxicologist]

They could make an attack prayer that uses up 1 prayer point each shot... Holy Arrow, Arrow of Chaos, and whatever. Stupid idea.

[olbaid]

This idea is all around impossible because prayer is a divise that iis just there. It is like youre religion or something..?

[melikerunescape]

I think they could make attack prayers just like was said earlier but they could have more kinds of stuff that recharge prayer. Like a symbol you can equipt that will recharge prayer. This way prayer doesn't have to be dependent on other combat skills.

[Barihawk]

They could always make an extension to slayer or combat or even a quest reward that gives "Monk's gauntlets" and according to a certain factor you can use unarmed combat to destroy things like you had a weapon, depending on your prayer level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most Monk classes are unarmed.

[lleuwelyn]

maybe monks should have the ability to heal others?

[Junkieman]

i think it was intended as a booster and nothing else. How do you get bones? you kill stuff, what happens when you kill stuff? you get xp in whatever skill you killed them with. Although i believe it was more a melee booster intent, than the other skills.

I would kiss you if they put that in.

yes they have weapons what do you call their level 99 str with 99 prayer?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit- i figured out the combat of a level 99 str and prayer + 80 cb

 

 

 

you would be level 65 and you would aproximately hit 12's with the prayer ultimate strength now that doesnt seem like alot but imagine hitting that and not worrying about losing full rune or weapon

[melikerunescape]

that would be sweet to hit really high like that without any weapons using advanced prayers.

really cool for the user... not so cool for ther recipeant

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

seriously what would you gain from killing monks then? you would have to make some kind of rare staff/holy book to compliment it...

[melikerunescape]

there is all ready holly books, maybe runescape could make them able to help out with fighting with prayer

[gotsol]

that would be cool , but there would need to be a huge prayer update
