How do monks fight? Just wanna know what kinda move they use ;)

[Yoko]

So title sums it all.....Do they kick? punch? grapple? What are the weapon moves like? Do they make combos? Do they look CWOOL?? XD!!

[Rico]

I have seen some of PiNG's video's and I seen one that they kick and punch.... frist punch then kick they get to where claws and some other weapons I don't know off and yes they do make combos

[DJplaeskool]

Regular attack pattern: Punch x 2

w/ WAR Double attack as sub (MNK50): Punch x 3

UPDATE:
Double Attack may affect both punches now, after patch, so up to 4 hits is possible

Kick (MNK51): Punch x 2 + Kick x 1
{with double attack: Punch x 3 + Kick x 1)

Counter (MNK15): Punch x 1

A couple of times I've managed do 5 attack combo:
Regular + Double + Kick + Counter = Punch x 3 + Kick + Punch

NOTE:
Counter only work sometimes after an enemy misses
Double Attack and Kick work sometimes
{I've noticed Kick works 1/5 rounds, Double: 1/7-8 rounds on average}


WS:
Skill 10: Combo = 3 hits (Punch x 2 + Kick)
40: Tackle = Charging Shoulder Attack
75: Tankei = Piercing Short Punch (Defense Break)
100: Backhand Blow = Spinning reverse attack
125: Rangeki = 5 hits (Punch x 2 + Kick + Punch + Kick)
150: Spin attack = Powerful Uppercut, hits in range
UPDATE
200: "Raging Fist" : Kuumei = 1 mega-powered punch
225: "Double Dragon Kick" : Souryuukyaku = 2 Kicks (Spinning Sweep + flying Roundhouse) : Light Renkei/Affinity
250 or 275 (I'll let you know once I get 70): Dream Asura Strike: 8 hits

Thanks for this info I didn't know monks can make combo's

[Yoko]

cwool!! now imagine this with thief as support job and thier 3 attacks ability.....omg...this will BLOW!! although we wont be able to reach that one for a while though....since its at lvl 55 for the thief......

[Hardedge]

That sounds like an awesome combo (MNK/THF).

I'm thinking of making MNK/WHM, so I'll have the healing on top of the combat skills, but I'm not sure.

I do like the fact they don't need heavy armor or heavy weapons to do awesome, plus I really like the monk job in FFT.

[Rafi Malak']

I'm going for THF/MNK i get all the awesome abilities of a thief and plus chakira and some of the monks great abilities, i'll be switching between the two. . . oh thanx for the info i didn't know monks could perform combos !!!

[Jamai]

The est mix i found was MNK/Red Mage. Good BLK+WHM and super fighting

[Jamai]

:p :mad: :confused: :angel: :spin: :sweat: :dead:

Hardedge, I've been planning MNK/THF all along, as you know. Now that I've sorted out my beta problems, I'll be making her tommorrow.

If you you MNK/THF and you want to get a theif ability that is at level 55 you would have to wait until they push the level cap to 110! Your sub job is capped at half the levels of your main...

I think the redmage/monk way should cover it you get the hp bonus from the monk and the many cool abilities the monk can use like the chakra the redmage has all the proper magic spell that any mage needs, healing and support magic even some nuke mage. the only thing is that the redmage lack the equal amount of hp and attack to match up with other melee people out there. so you can use this combo to work a good character to go solo or a great party member to be with. this combo doesn't rely on other people to help, it's like how a hero should be..... able to help himslef and others in need:spin: :p i wish this could be my mighty champion to sweep me off my feet:p hee hee ask questions if you want boys, i'll be waiting
