Yeah thats my point, you'd be hard pressed to not find a warrior or monk equipping this and losing AC for 15hp.

because HP go up = good. i concur, i dont use a Djarn ring. For 1/10th the price, a velium fire works just as well.

hot take: strength is most important for soloing on monk, once you get your HP and AC above a certain threshold, have a fungi tunic and T staff. If the mob dies quicker, it does less damage to you. And theres a significant boost in DPS between 170 STR and 230 STR. esp with a 2 hander, esp with 75%+ haste.

soloed my monk 1-60 in tunnel gear - monk is pretty broken - so with like 1100 AC or so, no fights were particularly close on anything i was grinding EXP on. At 59 I was able to tank 2 blues at a time in howling stones entrance / basement / north (after bleeding the Harm Touches) with 1100ac and around 2300 HP, using a t staff and fungi, seahorse belt and epic.

monk is really simple. doesnt require dumping a bunch of DKP on items to level. all it takes is some careful planning of how to pull single mobs and fight them without adds.

ive found in my travels as a monk that usually the monks who dump DKP on fancy items at level 46 or 55 or w/e, never wind up getting good at the class and remain "camp monks." (who are just weaker rogues.) the monks that levelled solo using shit / decent gear are usually way more crafty and much better on raids.
