2. 🤔 Monk OP Controversy: Performance Analysis by Resonance Tier
· After mentioning Barbarian and Monk as OP classes in the last video, there was a heated debate about the Monk.
· Many users claimed that Monks weren't that strong, but we found a significant performance difference across Resonance tiers.
· In low Resonance tiers, Monks are good but not overwhelmingly powerful.
· However, in high Resonance tiers, Monks dominate other classes, showing 'absolutely brutal' performance.
· Conversely, Crusaders perform very well in low Resonance tiers but much worse in high Resonance tiers. This is the exact opposite problem to Monks.

3. 📈 Causes of Monk Performance Difference: 'Blood-Soaked Reward' Set and Percentage-Based Scaling
· The Monk's power in high Resonance tiers is due to the 'Blood-Soaked Reward' set and percentage-based scaling.
· The 'Blood-Soaked Reward' set increases damage by 35%, which results in a much larger absolute damage increase for high Resonance users with higher base damage.
· For example, a user with 30,000 base damage gains 10,500 damage, but a user with 60,000 base damage gains 21,000 damage, showing a twofold difference.
· Most item effects, such as legendary gems (e.g., Blood-Soaked Jade), apply on a percentage basis, causing the damage of high Resonance users with high base damage to increase exponentially.
· As a result, while the Monk's burst damage isn't high in low Resonance tiers, it boasts incredible burst damage in high Resonance tiers.

| High Resonance User (Base Damage 60,000) | Damage Increase: 21,000 |
| Result | High Resonance users gain twice as much absolute damage increase |
