Is botting a monk worth it? Or switch to a barb?

Your comparing it at a different point of view,

Majority of botters wont spend that much (270 euro's) initially to gear their bot(s). That figure was to give you an idea of what Barb's gear would be "worth" at the 800 iph range. The reason i wrote "excluding found items", was to not skew the total. Generally, people start at a budget such as yourself then continue to upgrade accordingly until their bots are at max efficiency.

As I stated previously, if you scale item worth to MP level, barbs will do much better than monks. Which at that point you should 1 shotting mobs at mp2 anyways. whether or not you choose to bot at high mp's is up to you.

You have it all wrong.

This began as a test and proved much more efficient.
I got 400m since and bought 2 more bots because it proved a lot smarter than making one ?ber strong one.

I bought 2 more accounts and made monks after reading the guide he put up. They have only been running a couple days now and already more than paid for themselves.
