Now Vanguard monks...that was a monk.

Had heals, barriers, vicious melee and everything. They were the only healer that was able to tank endlessly without mana. Very monk-like design.

you thinking disciple, Azz ^^ they was the monk-healer and yeah never needed much mana if they did things right.

monks in vanguard were pretty awful to begin with but became liek super genki-damaesque burst dps machines.

that anither thing that set monks apart from ordinary warriors: ki or spiritual energies. warrior just about smashin heads and slashin guts. monk all about focus and discipline and manipulation of life energies to augment they self and not get smashed heads or slashed guts.

also, mongols were successful because they had iddy biddy bows they could shoot while running around on they horses (which they had lots of), not just because some buddhist celebates who could break stones with they face had soft spots too>.>

feeling slightly less triggered this morning...
