"Are you suggesting a single-class monk?  I don't know their skill tree and I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment 😃  If you are suggesting a monk with no priest multi-class, I would ask if you have really tried the Hylea (Vela) challenge for a lot of combats.  She's really hard to keep alive.  I have a ton of respect for you, and in print it is hard to convey tone; you may have an excellent grasp of what it is like to escort Vela, but I have to ask if you have tried it much, so I understand where you are coming from.  Are you thinking (and you may even be correct - I don't have good experience with the monk end) that a Monk can kick ass so fast that Vela gets protected that way?  If that actually is possible, that would be really cool.  My way of doing Ultimate is really slow, dinking away with summons exclusively.  It would be awesome to have a character with such strong offense that you could pretty much use 1 withdraw scroll on Vela in a fight and win or distract all of the enemies.\n \n\n\n\tPeople may not realize, by the way, for those who are thinking of non-priest builds, you can get a LOT of extra withdraw scrolls by sinking merchant ships, and you can win those fights 100% of the time with a Dhow and double-bronzers (plus after doing a few battles, your cannoneers and other crew get even better).  As far as I've seen, every merchant ship has 1-2 withdraw scrolls in their loot.\n \n"
