    Pure STR Monk?

    Is it ok to go Pure STR Monk? or should I put some points on other stats?

    I wonder the same thing on my monk. Dex might help parry/block rate, but you'll definitely do more damage with STR. I think I'll go all STR on mine, what the hey.

    Pure str. There is no alternative argument for PvE and monks in PvP is just funny.

    there is no reason not to go pure STR. we are a dps class, our role is to dps. why get dex and vit? to live? if you can dodge the mechanics and your healer is competent then you're fine.

    You will also have a tank taking most of the hits. Pure str all the way.

    I suggest getting better gear for turn 5, and not wasting your DPS.

    100% str and I am sitting at 4.5k hp on my monk for turn 5, haven't beat it yet but I don't see the point of needing much more than that.
