First off: I HATE monks just as much as anyone else here, but still i kinda miss my apu hybrid.. atm i only have one pvp char - a PE - but i serious need some more variation.. im starting to get a little bored sometimes..
now its been so long since ive lommed my monk to a pure resser and i totaly forgot how to set him up properly..
Well my Q is what to use: basic resist 2 or 3?
And well whats a good APP/PPU setup?
im gonna use DS, PSI core, attack3, MOVEON


sry for my bad english, but im not good at english, im tired and im drunk.. ;)

I used to have ds psicore psi attack3 and exp psi controller3, popped meh apu pa for haz1 every once in a while(just enough to have 61 ppu with the PA on to DB). Thats basically the basis for an apuhybrid.

There are other variations but tried them all and thought that was cutting the cookie most. :p

DS, Psicore, Attack3, Moveon. No pa, heavy fire belt. Can use FH2 and antigamma foot that way, saves you a few points.

For PPU, go for 75 or 74, depending if you wanna use haz1 or br3. On the other hand, db sanctum is 78 ppu and sometimes really comes in handy.

I think my APU hybrid got 75 ppu, 145 apu and 83 mst. Works fine. HL tears through people with a db on.

Sorry for going off topic here alittle bit. But, what are the effects of Int based psi power skill and overall Psi level as an affect on psi substats?

Like the old ghost skill for subskills with every 6 main stat levels.
Just wondering how much of a role that plays in casting of PPU spells at 75 PPU.

it all depends on playstyle tbh.

i've had one of every type of possible apu hyb setup and its really ur own needs. do u want better resists via haz1 option? do u want a lot more pool or RoF on HL (can get 100+)? do u want more runspd (no PA)?

psu in int gives roughly 0.3 to pool and roughly 0.25-0.3 to casts/min (0.25-0.3 cuz it varies according to wut teh actual point total is)

theres also a guide somewhere in tehse forums that give u a rough idea of wut stats influence wut and by roughly how much.

I would drop some apu and add more ppw, this gives better hl and shelter dmg with only a small hl freq penalty. Also I would spec for hazz 1 as I find it frees up more points and you don't need the 15 energy it gives you.

If youre using drugs, pop a nightspider, use PA3,take out attack 3 and use a ppr.

Better resists, only problem is adjusting psi for PA.

But the setup is damn good.

I wouldn't recomend that for 2 reasons.

1) The extra runspeed will make you take less dmg than the more resists from a ppr.

2) the big one, if your normal setup uses pa, you can't put on pa to run with a ppu, with my no pa setup, if I put on pa and get a psi 3 buff I get 610% on my hl, so I'm basicly a full apu who can nub heal.

I am gonna go no-PA, and in opfight use a PA + psi3.. should make me "almost APU" :)

I found no problem with the speed. Beast, redflash gives enough ATH/AGI.

And my apu hybrid doesnt run with a PPU, but i would adjust if she did.

Damnit! A year ago I thought I was special with my moveonmonk setups, and now everyone is doing it?


I suppose I have to find a new way to be special now.... *sulks*
