To Jboot or not

[kuuky]

Hey all I am thinking of rolling a monk as I had one on live and loved playing him. I primarily solo with my druid as I play at weird times and need to go afk quite a bit. I have about 7k in the bank and my question is whether I should invest in weapons and gear or do the jboot(insta-cast if IIRC) mq then slowly gear up. I do not plan on ever raiding or anything like that as I just like to relax and beat things up at my own pace( I am not opposed to grouping however). Being able to FD and go afk is great for my situation and mending would also help me with downtime. I do not see myself ever acquiring a fungi or anything of that caliber. Thanks
