EDIT: If you don't want to tank or pull then you are barking up the wrong tree with Monk/SK - I would recommend a Bard (although you will be asked to pull or tank from time to time) or a Ranger

Ranger is great choice if you don't want to be asked to do anything.

Re SK vs monk:
With a level 10 cap, here are some strategies.

Human: Freeport. North Ro decaying skeletons.
Keep backpacks, fill slots with cloth. Equip rusty two hand slasher for 1 hit kills (if sk). Sell everything but bone chips. Once you have filled your slots with cloth sell the bone chip to fund a 1:2 weapon for ~30pp. Get to Kaladim and turn in the remaining bone chips for xp. This will get you close to level 10.

Iksar: Scaled wolf pups and decaying skeletons. Keep the bone chips to sell to passing factioners/necromancers. Keep the hides, combine and turn them in for curscale armor in cabalis. If SK loot/buy a rusty/tarnished shantok to 1 hit kill the level 1 mobs. Once you completed your curscale armor set switch to scorpions and save their pincers to turn in for xp. At level 5 or 6 try to start forming pit groups, which will take you to 10.

Alternative iksar path: Buy bristlesilk armor from the merchant building outside the monk building. Every piece except chest looks awesome on monk, so you will get more invites by people thinking you are a twink.
