Post your learned lessons in boxing.

I wish, I had know not to buy my bards the AA fleet of foot. (they out run the group in longer runs)

i keep my bard chasing so it isn't really an issue, but yeah if you have it leading or running ahead, prolly a problem

(also just noticed this was a rizzle question)
 
I wish I realized sooner that the 'Challenger of' Achievements reward the ability to 'empower' weapon augs for that expansion. Then you can convert those augs to different proc abilities.
 
I wish I wouldn't have ever had a bard in my caster group from the start, and just had my enchanter lol.
 
i wish i had worked on collectibles as soon as they came out on my full group, instead of waiting for TBL and chase loot and going back to collect them all in older xpac.
 
Another one, I wish I had known about map packs back in the day. I went through binders and binders for mapping and notes. Lol
 
same here. I used to think"cheap ass company won't install maps for their own creation"
I cannot tell you how many times I got lost going to mistmoore castle back in the day. Mostly cause I wasn't hugging the wall because of the roamers lol.
 
Are warriors and clerics really that wasted in groups compared to like SK/sham? I'm genuinely curious.
It depends on your playstyle, what you're doing, and group overall composition.
EX: Grinding AA's on regular group content. SK/BSKR/BSKR/BST/BARD/Shaman - optimal for dps
EX: Grinding AA"s with low profile and peace of mind. WAR/MAG/MAG/BARD/ENC/CLERIC - slightly slower dps than the above...will probably never die if geared/scripted correctly. It's a lot harder to kill a war/cler than a SK/Shm mix in (non-prestige geared) in my personal opinion.

When it doubt warrior/enc/cleric...personal preference...guaranteed performance + peace of mind is more than speedy imo
 
Monkers, I wouldn't say warriors and clerics aren't wasted. There's clout amongst people because of the min/max perspective, but ultimately I don't think it really matters.
 
I wish I had known that I (always) come back so I should save my most recent .inis and character files on "a usb that doesn't exist" for when I eventually come back and can pick up where I left off instead of setting it all up again.
 
Wish I had known how addictive EQ was the day before I started playing.
I didn't know anything about EQ back when I bought it in '99. I was browsing my local game store and saw this interesting-looking title on the shelf. At checkout, the dude told me it's actually "Evercrack" and I wouldn't be able to stop playing.

I still remember that moment and I wish, 20+ years later, that I could find the guy again just to tell him he was right.

admit it... the "interesting-looking title" was Firiona Vie
 
I also wish I had known about the bard run speed AA. It is so annoying when they outpace my guys in /travel. Also for Rizlona I wish I had realized just how strong monks are and not made one of every class in my 18.
 
I wish I had known I would be working from home all of rizlona. Avoided making monks for a long time due to epic timesink. Ended up being able to farm them during work.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I could improve my raidwide DPS by 2500 just by swapping out my wizards for monks. But now I'm basically locked in, waiting for wizards to get better. Waiting. Still waiting.

here are some fixes i use. if result is from song use mount on bard and unmount every one else while using bard song. if it is just run speed have faster toon follow /afollow a slower to. i would bet you play your monk better than most and Playing all those other classes probably had something too do with it.
 
@mortous You two reminded me! I wish i had taken a closer look at Purify Body . I would have died a lot less if i had used when dotted.

Dps is great but i want a monk to pull and prevent adds. For various reasons there pulling is less likely to me messed up by a player spell cast or buff. My 106 monk is not to far into eok, but i stopped because merc tank could not keep mobs off of him. Thats how i ended up with mage.
 
I pull everything with sk. Monks are just for dps
I am learning this now and replacing my monk. I probably never would have until the suspension waves, but my monk and sk are my two oldest toons. So I don't want to lose them so I am making a stand alone box group to use and decided eh, I'll pull with new SK I make and replace monk for better dps. I must do it wrong, but I've manually operated a monk for years and my DPS never gets close to most dps classes. If it's a straight tank and spank and I can focus solely on the monk I can do ok numbers, but eh just gonna replace the monk entirely.

I do agree with others, early years, monks were great utility.... can tank, dps, pull, etc.

Wax on Wax off Daniel son!

Monks aren't really a DPS class any more. /shrug I abandoned a couple of max group geared fully AAed monks when I watched a 120 SK that was basically horrible at everything, out DPS both monks in the same group, while running an optimal monk dps script that was syncing the two monks alliance disc for max dps on it and their group damage buff whatever its called continuously running. pull after pull after pull...
