Hello,

I was scanning the forums and couldn't find any Mo/P Command builds. Are there any good ones out there, or is the Paragon secondary just not worth it for PvE?

Thx in advance

P/W

Paragon secondary for monk isn't that good, go /E and take Glyph of Lesser Energy.

The defensive/restorative shouts our overshadowed by skills already available to the monk, and the offensive buffs are better used on other classes.

And Spear Mastery is just bad, though probably better for direct damage than Smiting

If you really want to make one there's nothing stopping you from trying, but to tell you the truth I don't really use many of the command skills in PvE even as a paragon. The only skills my paragon frequently uses in PvE are [skill]"go for the eyes!"[/skill] [skill]"stand your ground!"[/skill] and now [skill]"we shall return!"[/skill] due to the recent buff.

Most of the other skills are situational and people in PuGs generally want a monk to stick to healing and protect and let the Paragon handle the shouts and chants. Monk healing/protect skills are generally more suited to a monk and recharge quicker too. Many Paragon shouts require adrenaline or energy and don't really recharge quick enough to sustain the party alone.

Off the top of my head I think a monk might find [skill]Remedy Signet[/skill] useful as a self condition removal against dazed.

Like I said earlier if you really want to make a Mo/P go ahead an try there's nothing stopping you from trying to building one yourself.

Edit: actually I don't even use "Stand your Ground!" much anymore in PvE I now use "There's Nothing to Fear!" instead.

You just need 1 skill, [skill=text]Leader's Zeal[/skill] the rest of paragon is pretty much useless for a PvE monk.
[skill=text]Lyric of Zeal[/skill] and [skill=text]Hexbreaker Aria[/skill] might look good, but there are better things a monk should be doing other than gathering adrenaline.

LMAO.
Take "Song of Power" in PvE lol. I really don't know. Or maybe "Incoming." Though those combos are quite pretty bad since those are elites lol.

Is this a joke? Why would a monk waste spec off their primary attributes to power something like GFtE for other people to deal more damage. And even at a good spec, why would you run stand your ground? It's 15 energy for extra armor for non-moving allies. If you're standing in AoE, you'd be moving to get out. If you're getting hit by a monster, you'd do more damage mitigation by kiting instead of standing there with +armor. The only one it'd help are the main aggro holders of the group, so basically you're spending 15 energy and a lot of spec points for that. And using we shall return for a rez? Even if your monk takes a rez, it'd be something that you wouldn't want to use in battle, so what's the point of having that skill on a monk? That's hilarious.

I got the impression Kwan was talking about the Command skills he/she uses on her Paragon, not Monk?

Oh BTW Holymasamune, the Title of the Thread is "Looking for a Mo/P Command Build." Whether or not there is a viable PvE Mo/P build that utilizes Command Skills is another question. Personally I don't think there are many command skills work with a Monk, but rather then be a JERK and chew the guy out, I at least encourage him to try to find a build himself if he wants to use Mo/P Command Skills so much.

Oh yeah, I'm not used to running bad builds, sorry. I guess I can't sympathize.

Just about the only paragon skills worth using on monk is remedy sig and signet of synergy.

All the good paragon skills are in Leadership and Spear. Command is pretty bad, and you can outheal anything Motivation does.

[skill]"Brace Yourself!"[/skill] used to be viable, however aura of stability is better.
That's pretty much the only skill worth mentioning. Just like with the ranger skills, the skills are overpriced just to balance the insane energy management from the primary.

Although its a little bit silly, and you probably could do a lot better, the two skills I can see being a bit of use to a monk are:

[card]"It's Just A Flesh Wound."[/card] and [card]Cautery Signet[/card] combined with monk condition removal. But theres a lot of better monk elites to use.

That doesn't mean it not possible. If there are no good builds out there and he really wants to use Command Skills in PvE there is nothing stopping him from trying to make a viable Mo/P build himself. Even if its not successful at least it's a learning experience. You don't always have to sit your lazy ass on forums and Wiki and wait for someone to hand you a good build.

Part of playing the game is organizing your skill bar so it works in whatever part of the game your playing. Saying XX/XX combo is dumb just because everyone says so is just plain lazy anyone can do that.

Paragon is about like ranger in this aspect...

The best at integrating secondary skills, but almost impossible to integrate as a secondary.

Grab a spear and shield. Toss in [skill]Judge's Insight[/skill]. Put passive defense/prot spirit on your heroes. Take Smite Hex, Smite Condition, a couple of Spear attacks, and GFTE!

Use [skill]"Help Me!"[/skill] when attacked.

Ya, it sucks. But when the OP gives me spoiled lemons I like to make rancid lemonade.

Don't ask me to drink the rancid lemonade though. However, you're more than welcome to give it a taste.

Why else would he post those skills? It's either an off topic post (which should be deleted) or he's trying to imply that it's usable on a monk (which is bad).

It's like going into a thread where someone asks "what should I run on a Mo/E" and then someone saying "HAI GAIZ I RUN METEOR SHOWER ON MY ELEZ".
