Is a Monk or Knight easier to play?

Question

Hello. I'm not the most agile player and it made me leave MS profession to try something else. I created a monk but I still feel that it is hard to survive a hunt on the best locations for specific lvl. Sometimes I give up and go back few lvls later because I make much less exp per hour trying to play safe than on spots I feel comfortable on. My survivalibity is much higher than on MS when I was on the same level but still there could be a field for some improvement. Thinking about future - would you say that knight at any level is easier and more relaxing than monk?

Answer 1

Knight is easier than Monk to play for solo hunting. Knight skills will pretty much always do max effectiveness in combat since they hit in all directions(except for sweep) or hit the enemy you have targeted. Compared to the monk who has a couple directional skills which require a little aiming to be efficient. Not to mention monk has to keep track of the builder and spender spells. Hunting in a party is a bit different as knights have to divert a bit of attention to their positioning along with taunts, skill rotations, etc. If you're looking for solo survival with little thinking involved, then Knight is probably better for you. If you want to do party hunting with little thinking then maybe Paladin could be for you.

Also, just keep in mind that most often for the best leveling spots you will be forced into uncomfortable hunting. This is because you'll be living on the brink of what you can barely survive while still staying alive and doing as much damage as possible. But the more familiar you become with your class and hunting area, the more comfortable you'll become.
