I also don't think Monks were as tanky 20 years ago. Now keep in mind I mained a Monk named Zerazia, and a Rogue named Tajin... at no point did I ever feel like my Monk was a tank.. I could kind of tank on my monk... but I could also kind of tank on my Rogue by this same standard...
When I hit 50s the reason I chose to play my Rogue over my Monk was that they were both essentially melee DPS, but my Rogue did WAY MORE Dps than my monk... again I didn't consider my monk to be a tank... no one did really..
flash forward 20 years later and I come to p99 and Bebquix basically tanked for my cleric from level 8 all the way to level 50... like man I really dont remember monks being this tanky.. and my monk had pretty much BIS everything and was a super twink.. froglok crown, gator scale leggings, granite bracers, treant fists etc. the whole nine yards. Bebquix was running around in cloth armor tanking the fuck out of shit and I don't remember monks being that gangster, I really don't.
