They definitely help and speed up the pulling in some raid situations but Christ already, people act like you need them to exp.
I agree, I don't remember seeing them used that often on live at all. Except in very unique situations. What I did see on live, all of the time, was javelins being expertly used by cutty teams of pullers. Don't get me wrong, my monk has beads and I love them. But there main benefit is being able to get agro on things and be out of sight to avoid casts. Or to agro mobs and train them away. Both can easily be done without beads. Take advantage of a javelins flight time at max range. And you can throw, strafe around the corner and be safe from casts all before the javelin hits. And for training things away, your a monk, hit it, run, flop.
