Yes, let's talk green. 1) because I'm playing on green 2) because this is the default mode of p99 going forward 3) because all the existing discussion assumes multiple years of farmed kunark/velious.

Tl;Dr - A monk has a great pulling tool kit. They also don’t have to med so there isn’t a trade-off. If you want to pull just communicate that as a preference and play the class you want. Sk’s do have a great ad hoc toolkit as well. At 60 they have two FD’s and three if you have BE greaves.
This is getting at the heart of it.

To hone in further:
1) Can bards (and rangers even) pull in the high end outdoor zones of the future? Plane of Growth, etc. Bards/Rangers have been pulling fear/hate just fine in classic.

2) To what extent are sk's and monks interchangeable for high end zones/raids throughout the expansions? Kunark era? Velious era? Right now (classic) they more or less are, as far as I can tell (feel free to disagree). Looking into kunark, aside from BE greaves and CoS, SK's look like they may fall behind in the pulling department slightly. In velious, Death Peace seems like a huge benefit.

Would love to hear from some elite puller Monks/SKs/Bards
