Monk a Classic class?

[fiveeauxfour]

Monks are like rogue/war hybrids

We can dps well but not as good as rogues.
We can tank but only in spurts when it comes to raid targets in kunark with ss/mend. With buffs to NPCs in velious, it's not feasible for monks to tank in group content. Sirens grotto mobs hurt.

In terms of pulling, Yea monks can do it well but with FTE engage and trainfest culture on this server it don't matter who "pulls". In velious monk pulling might get better, but we'll see how things will play out

Monks are only op because of ss/mend. If they didn't have that then I bet their numbers wouldn't be so high. Yea FD is nice and all but I've seen so many people fail at fding though casters. Best part of FD is the sick parkour we can pull off (only available to female humans due to animation speed).

Rangers get weaponshield which will elevate them to monk levels IMO. Not to mention upped DMG tables and sick weaps.

Yes monks are classic, and they are balanced.
