Curses, crusades and random nonsense

[Darvin]

One observation about curse is that it's a stealth nerf to IMAWAL. Because IMAWAL removes a monster from play, it reduces your ability to remove curses later on.

I'd LOVE a free GETINDARE. ATM, it's definitely my favorite glyph (WEYTWUT is a close second).

But anyways, BlahBlah is simply too hard for fledgling monk users. Between the tight hallways that hurt regen tactics and blink, Monks are probably the worst choice for Eastern Tundra.

Yeah, the Eastern Tundra monk thing is actually something that will need a fair think. Originally designed for Priests, that was probably obvious.

Open terrain is one good immediate suggestion, I like that. The boss would also need to be changed, but I'm reluctant to just make him "Meatman (with lifesteal)" or "Indomitable's little brother (with lifesteal)", so what other sort of traits would make something into Monk kibble in particular?

@Nandrew: Well, right now he is Lame Evolvia (with lifesteal). There are no traits other than lifesteal that are unused by other (non-vicious) bosses. Give him magic res if you want monk fodder. Magic res or... WAIT! Just remembered counter fireball. Give him Counter Fireball and Lifesteal.
