Monk mitigation too high?

The plate tanks with similar gear will have much more HP than the monk will have, thus CH is much more efficient.

On my warrior, shaman and cleric buffs account for nearly 50% of my hitpoints. There isn't going to be a huge difference between monk and tank hp with both shaman and cleric buffs on. Any HP advantage means jack so long as your group never has to stop pulling due to cleric mana. Not to mention the extra dps, aggro generation, and fungi regen/mend heals are going to mitigate any hp advantage as well.

This statement is pretty much useless since there are FAR more monks with great gear than tanks with great gear. Damn near everyone has a monk twink, shouldn't be a surprise that people see a lot of monks who can tank. (keep in mind, the term "twink" can be used to reflect on characters even when they're in their 50s)

But I'm sure someone will try and turn that into a circular argument by saying "There's more monks because of how OP they are!"

Oh yeah. I'm sure monks are the favorite alt class because they are so terrible. Just like there were so many magicians prekunark because they were so awful. Really.

All that monk AC comes from super expensive gear that few monks can attain, amiright?

Why does the gear other classes have access to bother you? Why do you want to celebrate someone else getting slapped in the face?

Because the power of one class affects all the other classes. If one class is a DPS and tank class in one, then there is no reason to group a tank. This isn't difficult to understand.

Some of the best exp my enchanter friend ever got was trioing disco with a monk and necro. So much for CH HP advantages.
