What were devs thinking when they made Monks?

My point is, I can't see monk being busier than a bard, or a chanter for that matter.

Maybe not, but pulling and tanking efficiently is already something, don't you think ?

Just seems a bit dickish to label someone else trash when they don't meet your standards.

I don't care for it as a word to describe people, not in my vocabulary, but yeah shitty monks...

I aint saying the monk class is simplistic, I am just saying that to me it appears less busy than bard and enchanter.

I have pulled and tanked on pallies, warriors, rogues, etc. Pulling and tanking doesn't hold a candle to what a bard does.

I ain't sayin' monks are busier than bard either.

If you want constant breaks for snacks and so on a hobbit or perhaps ogre may fit your play style better.

Monks were busted in Velious, nothing new.

They nerfed monks hard in Luclin, as they damn well deserved. Since we probably never have to tolerate moon kittie expansion here, monk supremecy reigns forever. Is why everyone and their grandma's third cat has an iksar monk littering their char select.

I thought I've heard that on Live during the tail end of Velious some guilds were using well-equipped monks to tank NToV. Their skill mostly is with not getting hit, and with SoD's and such hold aggro well. I'd think some unlucky "rolls" and *splat*. But, they are almost unstoppable.

A monk that won't pull or tries to "brb guys", "afk bio", "need to get a drink", etc... repeatedly to get out of pulling is a piece of trash in my opinion.

The remedy if this keeps happening is for the group leader to say "okay" and drop them from the group, have someone else pull...and send him a tell saying to pst for an invite when he's back. It might sound harsh but it fixes up the slackers or makes them move on.

They know who they are, and there's more than a few out there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wow so swish is a total douche on the forums AND in game? Suspicions confirmed.

Stop being self-deprecating. It's unbecoming. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey on my baby monk I just made, I am DWing wu trance sticks, because they look awesome! When do these become bad, I mean how long could I weild these cool looking sticks of beatdown before they start to turn out bad damage compared to the twink warriors and rogues I will be running with?

But I totally do this in real life, except I dont use the term trash. Instead I call them ex-employees.
