Twinking a monk w/ 20k

[Cillaz]

A fungi is always helpful. It's has re sell value (and always buyers) and can be passed on to alts if not needed on main or wanna play a mele alt. Other gear - especially, if you buy panther skin, doesn't have any of that!
You have haste and weapons already, they are the only real things a monk needs, general armour in other slots won't be nearly as helpful as a fungi!

Its not true that other slots are not useful.

AC is always useful to anyone, especially Monks who are the best XP group tanks in the game and would be well into Luclin. AC on Monks is just golden. Its also, in terms of EC Tunnel, quite cheap.

Unlike the atrocious Black Panther crap.

HP is more important to monks imo

All the raw hp gear you can get and you will shit on everything all the way to 60. AC doesn't even work properly on P99.
black pantherskin is cool in some slots if you want some cheap stats. AGI is a great stat.

AC works, its even visible and doesn't need parsing to see its effect.

AC AC AC. Secondary HP. As Jaymz says, nothing else matters.

Its been 17 years. How the hell is this still even debated?

To clarify my point - I meant that for the money a fungi will do you better than ac gear for levelling a twink monk. Wasn't debating the usefulness or value of ac, was simply saying from a twink levelling point of view fungi > ac gear.

I should have quoted I was replying to the muppet that thought HP was the best choice, he was an utter muppet and completely clueless. You are of course right, Fungi is the best for anyone that can use it** - in an XP group i'd want a warrior, SK or Paladin (ok no-one wants a Loladin but figuratively) wearing a Fungi over any other chest piece.

** Possibly not a Cleric with no Manastone? Even then I'd rather they had a Fungi tbh.

Have you ever compared taking hits on a corpse run vs while geared?
