Samurai/Thief or Samurai/Monk?
I don't want to be a Samurai/Warrior because... I have something against warriors, it just irks me that they are overused...and, basically, the 'best' tanking subclass. I don't like succumbing to stupid stereotypes.

So, here's the question. Samurai/Thief or Samurai/Monk?

Theives grant deceiving attack, which -although nerfed- STILL transfers hate assimilated to the chosen defensive tanker. A good ability to retain organization. Monks, however, grant Chakra, which has a new refresh rate of 5 minutes. Also, they have counter, but it won't function as much as it could seeing as though it won't assimilate much hate, hopefully.

Monk gives more vitality, strength, and HP.
(1 more strength, 4 more vitality...according to stat calculator)
Thief gives the obvious increase in agility.

However, even though it was nerfed... how powerful is deceiving attack in comparison to the same strike, though not using deceiving? Is it still more powerful? If so, by about how much?


Also, I want to inquire as to the eventual level cap? Will it ever hit 110? Because, if it will, the thief's triple attack will be awesome.

Another note: Monk has accumulate. Would that tip any scales?

Well, I guess the overall question remains. Sam/Monk or Sam/thief? I'm still leaning towards thief - it'd be more fun (But ignore that.)
