Monk's INT exp

[vices]

Sorry if it has been asked before, but is there anything being done about this horrifying endless grind? Im not saying it should be on par with the PSI exp, but some improvement would be appreciated. Opinions on this?

LoMs > RES > TL150 RES cubes > Overcap > LoMs

Or else you will be running around for years without capped INT, like the rest of us are.

Mind you, if they made poking an INT skill (instead of the DEX it gives - despite requiring INT points :wtf: ) that would help some.

I capped several monks INT without using LoMs (which i hate for their impact on game mechanics)

INT on monks raises with 66% of PSI. And that is fast 'nuff. If at all the speed for psi needs to be adjusted, slow down PSI imho.

Your secondary skill isn't meant to be easy to cap. It's meant to be part of the challenge. Back in NC1, al lot of monk players complained that the only way they could cap their DEX was by exploiting with the repair tool and bitched and whined when the tool got, firstly it's xp disabled and then fixed. Some people just don't want to put the effort in. The secondaries are fine imo.

I have always held that this simply isn't practical. Monks gain signifciantly less than spies for doing said missions, will be a less useful monk for the vast duration of time they are ressing, and because at 100 you lose around 1mil per LOM, need to hugely overcap.

My PPU before deactivation had just hit WoC2 psi XP and was only a couple of mil from int xp. It will make minimal difference, so I just accept it as it comes. Theres nothing to be gained from actually grinding hard towards it.

I actually think it should get fixed a little more so it can be gained easier. this has been ongoing for a long time now and it does need a boost.

con tank?

[awkward silence]

con tank?

Con is easier on tank than int on a ppu or apu.

I would also like to bring forth things like droner str and con. I understand that droning is not a strength based trade but it should still have a way to be leveled other than boring as hell missions, rediculous melee setups or exploiting. And getting con by dying... even I dont die that much.

On Riggers? Nothing is as fast capped as him.

By the time needed to get the mainskills up (some very few hours, AoE spamming) you got nuff money to buy prefactured missionitems to do the 40 levels for the other skills with ease in another few.

We are pretty spoiled when it comes to leveling speed tbh.

If you want it to take a year to cap, go play wow imo.

When moving away from some hours, there are alot of steps inbetween ... some days, or some weeks would be a start, imnsho.

Do i walk around here and announce "If you want instant skill, go play CS?" Please bring a point with you next time, Thanks

Int is to slow ,Especially on a APU... WoC 2 before you cap INT is down right stupid -

Tank CON -

Hard, but if you go out to take dmg, with a PPU U'll cap it before strenght

Pantho Tank

90 str , 100 con , 20int, 75 dex -

APU -

PSI - Cap 3 days... easy

PE - Cap 3 days (I can never cap PE's quick)

Spy - Meh... 4-5 days im slow

Tanks - No Fecking idea ...

[Dogface]

Pantho, there's no way in hell you can cap monk PSI in 3 days. It took me weeks, playing many hours a day :wtf:

Int is also much slower as a PPU than an APU.

[Doc Holliday]

Tanks con is very easy. U go dancing naked through the chaos caves with no armour on and a ppu strapped to you. the damage u take is insane as it rockets up and down like a whores drawers but the xp is well worth it. my con followed str very closely up to level 70 or 80 this way when i levelled my tank. even in a team i wore no armour so i wouldnt lose anything valuable and just hid when i needed to and let a heal sanctum heal me from the ppu. just gotta be smart about it and not go chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge oops im dead.

[vices]

Pantho.. I don't know how do you level but damn thats quick o_O Just to clarify, im not saying that the INT exp should be on the same level as PSI, but some boost so it would be reasonable to level it through combat.

[Safunte]

Int on a monk is fine how it is... and irrelevant for the most part... unless you do something that is tradeskill related, which gives more int exp through doing it.(with the exception of poking, that should be fixed)

It shouldn't be easy to cap, nor should it be relatively moderate to cap, the last bunch of levels are extraneous and are of little value other than to those who would spend the time to cap and deserve the extra few points.
