Monk – The monk is a hybrid character in that it casts spells that are focused on healing and buffing, but does melee damage with his fists. Imagine a buddhist monk combined with a boxing ninja. The monk is somewhere between a Paladin from other MMO’s (*cough* Warcraft) and a Priest. If you feel good and love aiding your fellow players then this is the class for you.
| Combat Type | Ranged Direct Damage and Crowd Control |
| Usable Armor | Cloth Only |
| Best Trade Skill | Tailoring |
| Specs | Divine and Military Monk |
Unlike the other classes in Order and Chaos, the stats (attributes) you must choose depending on which spec you choose. The Divine tree is much more tailored to wisdom and spell power wheras the Military Monk tree is much more combat stat focused (agility and strength). The general wisdom is that both specs are viable, but that the Military Monk right is going to have you running out of mana (oom) all the time. This might be fine if you are willing constantly pop mana potions in exchange for dishing out more damage.

Divine Monk Leveling Guide
This guide was originally posted by reckoner on yakkstr This guide is for leveling as a divine monk. I know this is counter to the common wisdom, but it worked really well for me. First, the philosophy. Most people love grouping with a divine monk, and you should always look to team up as you’re questing and grinding. If you get lucky and team up with a warrior or ranger you will be able to grind/level non stop. You level really fast this way, this is why this build worked so well for me. In case you can’t team up for a session you need to be able to do decent damage per second (dps). With that in mind your first talent points should be spent like this. view talents Obviously the goal is to get Tiger Claw Strike. Use this when you are grinding solo. The rotation is Arrow...
