Advice on Qingong Diamond Soul


Advice


As a Qinggong Monk;
Should I keep Diamond Soul, or drop it for a different more useful power?
I keep getting told that the spell resist pretty much sucks... so it makes me debate wanting to change it out.

Do your group use a lot of buffing spells?

Yes: then change it

No: then keep it.


I'm not sure as we are only level 3. My wizard friend tends to put Mage Armor on me since I'm the closest thing to a tank.

Right now we're composed of a Qinggong Monk(me), Magus, Rogue(sniper), Wizard(summoner), and a Cleric. I'm not sure what buffs they will actually provide in the future.

Oh well, you do not have to decide it right now. Decide it when you are close to get the ability.

Are you playing solo? If the answer is no, ditch it.

The problem with diamond soul is that SR blocks buffs and heals as well as hostile magic. You already have good saves, so an extra layer of protection is not that essential. Enemy casters are almost always higher level than the party, so your SR will be more effective at blocking friendly boosts than it is at blocking enemy attacks.

There is almost nothing positive to be said about diamond soul.
