Thank you.
I understand my post is negative, it's because it's coming from a point where I'm feeling disenfranchised. I'm more hoping for more people like you to come along and encourage me by telling me that I'm wrong and why, I guess...

Every class has its pros or cons... otherwise all the min-maxers here would be playing the class with the least cons and the most pros. The advantage we have here is knowing ahead of time what those pros/cons are, instead of finding out after you have an investment in your character that "Oh shit, I'm useless!" like we found out after Kunark release (keep in mind rangers were seen as fucking awesome pre-Kunark because we could actually tank and no one knew about the hybrid xp penalty.) and had to wait until Luclin to feel useful again.
If the timeline is followed correctly and Velious is the last era, we all know that monks were OP in Velious to the point where they had to have their damage mitigation/avoidance nerfed... but if I recall correctly that didn't happen until after Velious. That was their ranger version of Luclin. But yeah, you need to learn pulling/splitting because that's part of the usefulness of monks.
