Monk

I made Ramza a monk from the beginning of the game and gave him the 'equip armor' ablilty from the knights. The moves are awesome and hamedo dominates people. I also had everyone else in my party learn monk techniques like chakra, revive, and hp restore. I also like the lancers a lot too.
 
that is one thing i really didn't get how can a monk revive people?
 
for me I rarely used monks i've been using ninjas and samurai mainly cause of their speed and power, i'll use them for the errands
 
the only time i really ever used a monk was when i needed someone to use a class that needed a monk to be lvl 4 job skill or something. Other then that I only remember using it onnce near the start at the fortress where the guys are like "Damn its the hotkuen knights!". (Theres like 2 monks, 2 knights, and an archer or something.
 
i learned that it was bust to get mediators early so from the early points i had them and then built up to the monk after awhile
 
Monks rock. I made Ramza a monk after mastering most of the other classes. Gave him Two Swords ability and counter attack. Equiped a (Bracer...I think) and watched him annhialate everything. He attacks twice doing 870 a hit and 100% success rate (Concentrate). Even his Wave Fist was nasty (around 700).

I turned Ramza into a monk for the 1vs Wiegraf battle.
Chakra, HP restore and Earth Slash are the only ways to beat him.

*coughs* That's not the only way to beat him lmao....
I used knight with concentrate and kept using speed, mind, and power break, plus I kept doing those until he had 1 MgPw, 1 AtkPw, 1 Speed just for the experience and JP plus I kept attacking then healing him lol...I did it for about like 3 hours and got him up like 18-22 lvs plus I mastered Knight and somehow monk (I have no clue how he was never a monk -.-' b4 battle he had like 12jp for monk after he had like 5506 or somethinglike that ) I was liek OMG WTF?!?!?
 
*Hell Yeah! in fact i use monks in every battle because theyre great offensive and supportive class!they can help in quip leveling and they can take out any opponent with a few punches,they go well with the squire ability "accumulate" monk punches can have a maximum damage of 999! :D it takes a long time to buff but its worth it,plus with high attack their healing and curing abilities get better too :D

*revive! no other class has the skill to revive an ally! Monk class is the best!!! :)
 
Actually White Mages can revive characters :monster:

And if you use accumualte with any class there skills will increase. I used a monk only to get the Geomancer inturn to get a ninja. Monks are good at the start, but without the Equiped Heavy Armour skill (which is aquired from a Knight skill), they phail at the end.

*oh yeah! haha :) i guess white mage slipped my mind :D but white mages dont have strong attacks ang dont regenerate their mp ;)

*well i dont charge my Monk into battle,thatd get him killed easily by gang bang monsters.what i do is use their long range skills like wave first or earth slash,then finish em off with strong punches :) its an effective strategy :)

Well, If you have a white mage for long enough, it will get an attack called "Holy" which is quite powerful. And Monks dont regenerate there mp either. Unless you use Charka.

I do love the skill charka. For me atm its like using a Hi-Potion + alittle extra (cause it gives mp). I have Balthier having his second skill as a Monk because of that. But i think that the Chemist ability might be better seeing as once i learn X-Potion and Elixer, it'll be easier to heal.

*Yep,thats a good combination.well you could do the same to all spell casting job classes.and i dont use the chamist ability that much as items get consumed. CHakra is infinite HAHAH :D :D and lets not forget his Revive skill what a bargain eh!? :)

*also the monk class is versitile,he can be a long ranged fighter and a melee basher! what a combination! :D :D i think hes a tank and a supply depo all in one :) :)
 
Ya i suppose it aint to be but then again when i use item skills, i tend to get 99 of them. It costs money but hey you get 150 hp using X-Potion. So if im in huge trouble i can just use it. I might consider getting a monk again. But i think that Dark Knights just pwn too much.

*the chemist ability is really handy the down side is their potency is limited and they can run out :)

*Chakra is infinite and lets not forget his revive ability! :D what a bonus eh! :)

*also the monk class is versitil,he can be a support healer,long ranged fighter or a melee basher!what a combination! :D i think hes a tank and a supply depo all cramped up in one :D :D
 
I always laugh when Ramza manages to use HP Restore during a hard battle. It's nerve wracking 'cause sometimes it doesn't work, but when it does *grin*

There's one move that a Monk does that's basically lesser-grade Esuna, but it cures Blood or something; when you battle against Zalbag his vampire bite or something really gets you.
 
The monk skill is called "Purification" and Elmdor uses vampire bite too, which sucks cause i wanted to steal his armour >=(

All in all monks are quite useful i must say, They dont require Mp to heal and they are physical, unlike White Mages.

*hmm hp restore sucks,actually i dont let the enemy hit me that much,i wont depend on such skills that may or may not work when the crucial momments count :) why would you let the enemy pound you into a critical hp state when you can avoid enemiy attacks in the first place :)

*as ive said monk rulezzz! :D ever tried a 999 damage for the monk punch? pretty amazing :)
 
999 damage is pretty much the norm for upper-level monks. >.>
Any monk can do it if he has a high level.
 
i turned delita into a monk first chance i got. after that delita 2-3 shotted everyone that he went after. i made ramza a monk, didn't work out to well so i turned him into a knight gave him best armor i could find, and let him be my melee man
