Default rangers and monks and hybrid xp

so the monk and ranger are two of my favorite classes in this game and since FD nerf it got me to thinking... maybe i should roll a ranger again, and then of course i started to consider hybrid xp penalties for groups.

ranger is 140% xp required of a human cleric. iksar monk is 144% xp. so why do people cry so much about ranger xp penalty when iksar monks get into groups all willy nilly and nobody complains?

you might say a monk adds more to a group than a ranger, but i would disagree with the changes in FD a ranger is a better puller considering they can snare / root mobs to park adds away from the group and also can arguably tank better than a monk. with dual wield and double attack there damage isnt that far off a monk's either.

thoughts? and please i have heard all the ranger jokes and i actually have a 48 monk right now so im not trying to say monks suck either. just trying to start a legitimate discussion of why do you guys think this is or is there something else im missing about the way hybrid penalties work for groups?
