Monks - The second best tank in the game?

[Brut]

Properly geared, yup, since they get higher skillcaps than knights on their melee defense skills like Dodge, Riposte. Not sure on the difference in Stamina to HP return, but the mitigation is pretty ridiculous.

Busted class is busted, there's a good reason their tanking abilities got nerfed in Luclin. And a good reason why everyone and their grandmother has a lizard monk here.
