well my gear is fail... i don't like to hunt items like a bot camping spawn points etc. and i have yet to see the benefit of buying hydra cards and loads of chain[3] to overup... i have PVPed once in a while when i feel like wasting some money on the healer, but other than that IMHO PVP for monks are not that fun...
it's a one-shot kill-or-be-killed situation... you either get the asura in and it fails and you get killed or you get it in and you kill or you get cancelled and you get killed... yeah sure we can try occult and/or FO, but FO cast time is hell even with high dex and occult is only usefull for high DEF chars which usually have more than 10k HP meaning that even with PVP ATK gears and 120 STR, you need at least 3-4 hits hoping that you don't get killed in the process... and like asura, Occult is force-neutral, making monks utterly useless against GR...
furthermore, it seems evident that connection delay really affects playability... so maybe i can learn how to PVP properly if i didn't have such a connection delay... even with Kasa's i sometimes either Bwing too fast or too late...
oh and WOE times don't agree with RL schedules, so there you go...
so no, i don't think MMORPGs are a bout PVP, i think it is (like all games) about FUN... playing next to my GF is fun, so that's what i do... she seems to enjoy ragnarok a bit more compared to some other games and she seems to like this server because it is very accomodative to girls, so here i am playing with my GF for mostly PVM... Fun = /no1
