Monks are martial arts experts that have honed their very bodies into an awesome fighting force. Whether they use common clubs and staves or just their fists, they have the ability to deal out massive amounts of damage.

With their bodies that double as deadly weapons, monks attack enemies with explosive strength.

The Monk's primary role is that of damage dealer. They are the only job capable of using hand-to-hand weapons to their full effectiveness thanks to an A+ skill rating and the Martial Arts trait. The bulk of their damage comes from high attack speed and powerful fists. The Kenpo belts (Monk-specific equipment) have high amounts of Haste, which allows a Monk to be a powerful tank with Utsusemi.
