Galka Rdm/monk

[Tonkz]

I was wondering if a Galka Rdm/Monk would work...

First of all a galka has lots of hp and with a monk subbed, even more. After that, you wear pure +HP - MP items so you get even more HP.

After you get as much hp as you can, you can use convert and get lots of mana...

what i'm wondering is how much HP could a Galka RDM/MONK pull off? (without items at lvl 70)

and if lets say, it has around 1000 hp, would they be as good as a taru taru if they constantly used convert.

ALSO- I was wondering how much mana/3 secs Refresh did. THX

Well there are some disatvantages to your plan, and I see where your convert idea came from. But the thing you need to know about Convert is you cannot have more MP than your max MP. For example, you level this combo to 40. You'd have say, 850 hp and 190 mp.

You get into a fight, and support heal from the back, managing to avoid any hits, and are at 850hp/30 mp. You use convert, which would bring you to 30 hp and 190 mp. The rest of that extra HP is lost.. you dont get to keep it, unfortunately :(

Galka RDMs are difficult to level past 20, and with mnk as a sub, it would be even harder. I'd say if you want an easier time, steer clear of this combo. But it's your game too, and you are free to play whatever you wish.


- Refresh is 3 mp a tick, seems roughly between 1.5-2 seconds apart.

-- edit -- didnt see your comment at the end before, just reread your post, but you might want to know that Convert has a 10 min cooldown time.

Also, you don't get Refresh and Covert until level 41. It would be a torturous 40 levels to get there, although with it and convert you could probably do all right, though not nearly as good as any other race.

People seem to use Refresh and Convert as excuses to make a relatively bad class/race combo. Coming relatively late in the game, it's good to consider the amount of difficulty you'll have getting to that point. Yes, it's possible, but I don't think it's advisable.

There is a reason why Galka are the least used race, and I think it's because they are all but disqualified from the mage jobs, unfortunately. You will not get many PT invites, your playing will be relatively ineffective and it'll probably be a very discouraging and frustrating experience overall. My advice is to be another race if you really want to be an effective RDM (or BLM or especially WHM).

Yes. It will be slow and probably painful. However I would still invite you in my group. The only thing I'm getting tired of doing is raising melee tarus.
