Monks in Hell's Precipice

Pay me because I look good.

No, I'm an escort, not a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO!

If they are willing to pay you, it's fine as long as you do the job correctly.

If you take the money and leave, or you are a bad monk, they it's not ok.

I don't haved a problem with this as with MithranArkanere said you play it right and don't leave.I never had problem lastnight with my Ranger got 2 good ones to.Monks are very weary of the quality of players today as opossed to 2005.

I made a monk due to shortage and found out that I like playing it alot, its my main now.

Shortage? Yea well most ppl like killing over healing so meh can't be helped. If you pay its your own deal thingy and isn't really right or wrong. I personally don't take money for help, but yea I don't enjoy being stuck with morons whoo aggro everything and run crap builds and still blame EVERYTHING on me.

if a group of 6 cant beat hells with the 2 henchie monks or 2 hero monks, they need to slow down or uninstall the game.

I stood in Hell's Precipice for a good 5 minutes half afk without a single group trying to invite me. I doubt there's that much of a shortage, especially with heroes being a viable alternative to humans. It's not like NM Hell's Precipice is difficult. :\

Sure you can charge for it, however you better hope there are NO other monks, and you better be damn good at it because heroes are pretty decent in an easy mission like that one...

If you want to charge, good luck! a hero/hench team can do the mission without much problems, only a little patience is needed for aggroing and taking out the prince's minions first and after that the lich's helpers first (twice).

I spammed for ten minutes trying to find a group with my Monk for HP. NO INVITES WHATSOEVER. The only people looking for Monks were Ursanways...

If people are ok with it, it's cool. Just don't ragequit ~~

I did it in hard mode with hench monks last night with little problem. The only thing remotely tricky is when there's mobs with 3 sparks.

The only thing that cheesed me off is that I managed to aggro the boss as I was trying to sneak around the corner to activate the bonus and the Seer ended up dead.

But as for the OP's question, if someone wants to pay, who are you to say no.

(just make sure to offer a double money-back guarantee of success!)

I was kind of amazed at the number of Ursan groups there, especially given that it took me around 15 minutes to hench it.

I can sort of understand being bad at the game and using it as a crutch to beat the elite missions, but it just seems silly to use it for easy stuff.

The reason PUGs only Ursan is because if they do anything other than Ursan it would take a million times longer and result in an absymally awful party comprised of players with ludicrous skillbars. H/H is still way faster and better than Ursan PUGs.

But if one is going to PUG, doing anything other than Ursan is a really bad idea. In fact, it's so bad of an idea that that's what killed PUGs completely dead in the first place. Until Ursan came. Going back to pre-Ursan quality PUGs would be a terrible downgrade. Actively seeking to join a PUG like that is insane IMO.

I remember when they charged and weren't very good at monking either.

I tried puging that mission for some fun. There were 2 ursans in my group and the others were normal classes (SS, D-slash: me, monks). Well either the 2 ursans were really in a rush, or they forgot how to play the game. They were rushing all the way, EVEN at places where we need to stop to let the titans past through. And guess what, they blamed it on the others for not moving fast enough.

Perhaps they forgot how to play the game the non-ursan way.

I recall those days too - and people say heroes killed PUGs. I recall those same ones telling people they *had* to do what they said, when they said, and how they said or they would quit healing or leave. Yea, the good old days when you could group all the time if you payed someone to suck all the fun out of it!

It's within the game mechanics so it isn't "wrong" per se. However I would find it fairly unethical (you are simply a team member, it's not like are running the mission) but that seems to stop few people even when dealing with you face to face let alone in a video game. Since it is a matter of ethics that is your choice if it is wrong or not. Since there are now better alternatives I doubt you will get many takers - even back when they only had hench those monk "services" didn't get used much.

If the monk is doing so much in the group to the extend to being indispensible, then go ahead and charge. But I doubt the group can afford to pay anything worth your time.

That hasn't changed one bit. The average PuG monk is still an utter 'tard with 16 healing prayers, Breeze and no prot.

No need to charge to monk a normal mode mission. Used to use healer henchmen when my warrior went through it alone and that wasnt a problem. I cant even begin to imagine a team that cant do it with heroes, so all you'll do is encourage that. Would actually be nice to see teams of players doing it imho.

Heroes did kill PUGs. The monk strike had nothing to do with that.

This has got to be one of the dumbest comments ever. If you believe this then anybody who works and makes money is a prostitute. So I guess we should all be jobless bums in your view.

There is nothing wrong with making some money. If people feel they need a real monk instead of a henchie and are willing to pay for it, then go for it. They are paying you for your skills, you're not selling your body...again this was one of the dumbest comments ever.
