Meh,
Got a 51 (?) monk with CoF, Fungi, Epic, Tstaff, beads - all the bells and whistles except ToV loot or dain ring.
It's still pretty underwhelming compared to my shaman, wizard or any caster really.
The main difference between a similarly geared SK or Paladin if anything is that it doesn't take as long to kill. I get that monks truly shine at 60 and with endgame gear but I still feel like whatever edge a monk gets compared to other melee classes is kinda 'meh' when you look at what casters can do. Sorta king of the losers.
Either way, the power is still limited which limits your solo options. If you want any kind of profitability on top of that your options are reduced even further and in a game from 1998 there are not many secrets left.
