Tips ' n' Tricks
1. Always keep your refinement value on weapon to "+9". It's because Chakra adds ATK by INT and "Refinement value on weapon". So you'll get a good amount of ATK from Chakra by refining your weapon to the fullest.
2. If you're a claw build, it is better to have a Geo Spam set for Party-Play. According to
ijus you need -7.5 second skill delay to spam Geo. So why not play in Party too instead of solo all the time?
If you are a [AGI/CRT/INT] Build, you should use normal claws. Having INT in your build will allow you to have more advantage on the delay of Geo Breaker.
If you are a [AGI/CRT/STR] Build, I'd recommend you to use "Purity Claw" for spamming Geo Breaker.
The Al Crystas which would always be needed are Cheltil, Sauro II and Maelriel. Remember, skill spamming is always better than Auto-Attacking.
3. If you are a Geo and want more survivability I'd like you to switch your Throwing to Special claw and use Asura Aura. Throwing Takes over 20% of Asura Aura on each Geo spam. But Spec claw eat 7-10% of Asura, Thus better survivability.
4. At lower levels you should always wear a survival set untill you reach Mid Level (Lv.180). It's true that Monks die easily at lower levels just because of lack of MaxHP and EVA. So to cope with that situation you must have a survival set. A survival set must have Damage Reduction, HP recovery equipments, packed up with MaxHP +20% Crystas. I also recommend using Aulis Gale, it helps on Evasion. Also, you can use Light Green Egg to survive on boss battles (Especially for Geo Monks). Light Green Egg revives you at 1HP when you die, and thats untill the 10 second buff is when used Light Green Egg (LGE).
5. The Passive skill called Combination, It takes a total of 50 seconds to fill up the combination bar from 0% to 100%.
6. If you want to farm mobs with AoE, you can always use the most wonderful skill called Battle Roar. Battle Roar is an Ambient AoE, meaning when used, you are the center of the AoE. But the problem is that it's range is very small and ypu need to have mobs very near you to target them.
So what we can do is to use "Range+" equips to increase it's range and target more mobs. For this two Phrases needs to be made.
Phrase 1 : Has some "Range+" equipments (Example : Kodachi III)
Phrase 2 : Your usual Geo Spam set
First, equip your Phrase 1, the range set. Use this and target mobs around you. Then, quickly change to Phrase 2, Geo set and use Geo Brekaer and finish all of the mobs.
Thats how you can farm Mobs with AoE!
