Solo monk gearing?

[Fartbarf]

I am curious about solo monk gearing.

Should there be an emphasis on magic resist? Or should I plan to carry around a bunch of resist gear if I need it?

[Fartbarf]

Let me elaborate.

What should a solo monks equipment focus be? I have a fungi and an FBSS.

With the rest of the gear should I go stats, ac, resist, hp?

Ac/hp. You shouldn't be fighting casters solo. Resists I'd only worry about later for grouping and raiding.

thank you very much

hp > ac > resists > stats

Also, remember to keep it light. Always keep it at 14 stones or lower. Even if the game says that going over doesn't lower your AC, it does.

If you're just solo EXPing, once you have a fungi and an FBSS focus on getting the best weapon you can get, then go HP, AC, STR, in that order. HP is very useful because Mend restores a percentage of HP, so having more HP actually means having more HP regeneration in the long run (assuming you use Mend every time it's available). You can also take great advantage of Intimidation to avoid much of the damage in a fight, which lets you basically chain blues with your gear even at around level 30+.

I am 28 now and this is my gear:
EARS: 2 black sapphire electrum ears
FACE: Tags mask
HEAD: Crown of froglock kings
CHEST: Fungi
NECK: 7 dex 7 agi
ARMS: Azure
WRISTS: Hero and Erollisi
SHOLDERS: Wu's
BACK: Cloak of Shadows (just traded my hooded cloak for this due to weight)
WAIST: FBSS
LEGS: Wu's
FEET: Wu's
HANDS: Lupine Claw gaunts
FINGERS: 5 ac 55 hp
MAIN HAND: Jade mace
OFF HAND: Knuckle Duster
2HANDER: IFS

Any Suggestions? I was thinking of getting an exe hood (maybe not anymore since stats are the lowest on the list) and a granite bracer to reduce the weight from the Hero bracer.

Gear looks pretty solid. I would maybe trade the wu's legs out for a pair of gator scale and maybe get a different neck piece (runed lava pendant or chipped bone collar)

Well really with a fungi u dont need to care that much till you are higher.....
