Overview
Once a Monk reaches class level 3, they must choose a philosophy on how they intend to fight. These choices are elected by selecting one of two feats:
  • Path of Harmonious Balance: Fists of Light
    • You have chosen to follow the path of light
    • You seek to be at harmony with the world, and your training will reflect your philosophy
    • You can activate this ability to channel energy into your attack, dealing +15% damage and 4 to 24 additional Light damage
    • Apply a healing shield to your target which heals your allies that strike your target
  • Path of Inevitable Dominion: Fists of Darkness
    • You have chosen to follow the path of darkness
    • You seek to dominate the world, and your training will reflect your philosophy
    • You can activate this ability to channel energy into your attack, dealing 2d10 negative damage against living creatures
    • The target becomes shaken
Finishing Moves
The choice will affect enhancement choices open to you and will affect what Finishing Moves you receive, either ones that heal and help the party or ones that do more damage.
Swapping Philosophy
Monks can see Fred and change their philosophy at any time. This is like any other feat swap, and since this is not a prerequisite for any other feat you can take, it can be done on its own. You need one of the following to switch:
  • Feat Respec Token - received once per life by completing Hall of the Mark
    • This is not an inventory item, it becomes attached to the monk feats
  • Platinum and some form of Siberys Dragonshard based on the character level at the time the feat was chose
  • Shard 15x Astral Shards
