Don't get me wrong, there were definitely some items that were much better than the others off the regular dragons in NToV - but there were no 50 AC masks (30 AC is best I can remember off Vulak) or 50 AC monk range items that I can remember(honestly don't remember what I used, think I had a hand of the master which was 20 or 25 until I replaced it with Luclin loot).

There were definitely some ridiculously sweet items, but they were very rare and very few monks (if any) on live were walking around rocking like 5 or 6 Vulak / Doze items.

I'm honestly surprised that a monk AC in velious/luclin QQ thread has been made without a link to....

lulz, 60ac mnk only, suck it long and suck it hard trebec D=

As for the nerf itself, it lowered their soft cap significantly (decreased scaling starting at lower gear levels) but the end result for perfect monks was negligible--it really became more of an aggro issue around mid luclin / late PoP, and mnks maintained their viability as ramp tanks just fine (though usually you had 5-6 lollygagging SKs, who once they casted their +hate buff, were just loldps and forced to ramptank anyway D=)

edit: Not saying that shit like BoSpeed weren't contributing factors, just surprised the flayed barbs weren't the first mentioned item :P
