My secondary chacter Tohelo has been a monk since November 16th, slightly over 120 days. I have tried to grind Geyser force kick skill for several weeks now, but the progress has been stopped to 98%.

While I know that the skill will increase eventually, it has been somewhat frustrating to wait for it as I would like to reinc into something else, but reincing before 100% would mean that I need to start the skill training from 50% again in the next monk reinc.

Of course, on the positive side, the reinc is starting to work reasonably well as I have been able to put more exp into monk skills.

Martial arts hit stats

With Ki, Mind over body, some sort of str eqset and str salves, human monk has about 220 str (with full str boon).

Together with minor dam and Martial arts eqs, I do following hits (martial arts speed 6):
