Which is kinda weird given the OP is fresh out of the gate trying to figure out what to start playing. I mean, if we're going to use BiS NToV gear as a benchmark it really doesn't matter which of the afformentioned cases you use. You are going to be able to tank and able to dish out some pain, no matter what. Indeed, not everyone will be able to join a guild who has zero competition for high end mobs.

It is simply unrealistic for the OP(if he chooses a monk) to go into the game expecting to be the tank when in reality he's going to be the puller 90% of the time. Which is the basis of my posts.

Oh I completely agree. You have to be really, really into this game to be playing it for 5+ years and constantly raiding that whole time. Chances are, you (global you) aren't one of those people.

This won't stop them from coming into threads like this and making ex cathedra pronouncements as if every level 60 monk could solo Zordakalicus Ragefire, though (or for that matter, if every freshly created monk will be able to tank right out of the gate without twinking). Just trying to make sure that everyone sees their perspective when they make those statements.
