This is an introduction to the monk class in EQ2. You can also get a complete Everquest 2 Monk Guide.

Another class in the Fighter archetype, the Monk class is like the Bruisers in that they share the same style of fighting. This spiritual class places a great emphasis on using their bodies in fighting on all battlegrounds and excel at avoiding damage.

Besides being great in melee combat, Monks are useful when it comes to healing or even resurrecting their party members in combat. They are also group healers who wear only light armor (leather).

They can use various kinds of weapons like two-handed blunt, dual-wield blunt and hand-to-hand, but cannot equip any shield. Monks often depend on thrown weapons and can take up the roles of tanks, DPS and utility in group.
