I personally want a warrior in my group. I play a 60 monk, and I can tell a huge difference between me and a 60 warrior. Sure I CAN tank anything. Hell I tanked Emp when I was lvl 54 on test. Was pretty close battle, but it was mainly due to his life taps.
A monk tanking effectively dicks his dps.The monk just might do the same dps as a Warrior while tanking, maybe little more. I can throw out some %, but you won't understand it.
Using your example of a Monk Cleric 3 Rogues and enchanter as poof. Lol really? ANY GROUP with 3 rogues, enchanter, and cleric won't much any down time. A fucking ranger can tank that group and be fine.
Here I'll lend you some links, so you know as to why Monks WERE nerfed, but in velious. It had nothing to do with monks, it was everything to do with Warriors. Of course in Planes of Power Varent decided to change things back because Monks weren't OP tanking.They FIXED Warriors.
It was mainly 1 person up in arms about it. You should have seen when he would have a shitfit when Denron or Daahoud would tank better than him on raids. It made raids so much fun when Furor would rant. He just used monks as examples, and they got hit.
