Ideas on a Monk class?

That video is AWESOME!

OMG SO TRUE. I love that Swedish guy hahaha.

I read somewhere that the Fists of Steel perk only ups by BASE armor, so improving armor rating does nothing. Is this true???

If you go to the Radient Raiment in Solitude, the are actually robes there called 'Monk Robes'. You can then just enchant it with whatever.

well, monks actually use all sorts of different weapons if we are talking about warrior monks; but if you want to go with a hollywoodized version and only do hand to hand; get the gauntlet heavy armor perk and disenchant the pugilist gloves from the guy in the sewers in Riften and enchant them with that as high as you can.

As for gauntlets, if you want to look as streamlined as possible and not like you have giant hands on top of robes then you can try the blades gauntlets or ancient nord armor gauntlets, both of those look more like glove sized and it won't look like you are running around with hulk hands on.

I do believe that in the 1.5 patch when they add more finishing moves; unarmed is going to get several moves added to it for finishing people off.

I found the unarmed enchantment at White river watch. Boss has gloves that you can disenchant.

Came here to say this.

Restoration, mage armor, not sure if the relevant perks would be worth it though, since you couldn't wear heavy gauntlets and get the bonus. The bonus to your damage would probably be more useful. Not sure what other perks you would use honestly, maybe illusion?

 

[SkinnedLikeScum]

Restoration robes, hand combat, go in the rat tunnels to get poltergeists gloves i believe its called you should get into enchanting for sure if your going to play hard difficulties you wont be over powered like that and ur very monky like

I think this'll help.

A good idea I did once was to alter the Battlemage type character to use enchanted monk robes to boost magics. I invested in Restoration, Illusion, and Alteration, as well as some One-Handed and Destruction. This allowed me to be a Spellsword type mixed with Battlemage to use magic primarily with some real-steel involved for necessities. This might give you some good ideas, it helped me, who is a Warrior most times.

If you want to use a weapon you could use a two-handed war hammer to act as a staff. So it may be less warrior , but monk-like? I plan on forming my own monk. I plan on using restoration, alteration, two-handed and maybe destruction(probably not). Also i would use the adept mage robes since they look much like monk robes(color).

i think the vigilants of stendarr look like monks, and their cause is very similar. read about them

 

[Punz]

When I think monk I see robes, restoration magic, Illusion spells (calm). I don't see defending oneself plausible since you are supposed to be selfless. But this is Skyrim and every one caries a dagger. I'm sure Talos won't mind.

As a kahjiit with the pugilist enchant on heavy gauntlets and a ring plus fists of steel perk you will do 68 dmg per hit. But u hit like twice per second. For argonians it's like 60 I think. Dual sevagery and dual flurry in the one handed tree also apply to fists. You will have to get your enchanting to 100 to compete on master. Also if u go back to oblivion u see the monk class also wields a bow. Very powerfully in skyrim. So to be a monk just snipe people down then punch the plops out of the last guy in the name of the 8 (or 9 if you think thalmor are gay ha )

My mages tactics for low magicka? Hit it till it goes away!

If you mean more of a priest monk, then you'll need to find a good companion and keep them healed up. Maybe invest a bit in conjuration for allies if need be.

Khajjiit disenchant Gloves of the Pulgist (that Fist guy in the ratways) make a ring and heavy armor gloves with teh enchantment. Restoration and alteration (Healz and ARmor) That is my idea lol.
