I think this might be one of the reasons that Monks seem so OP on P99. 20 years ago Luclin and PoP came out super fast, so you probably didn't have a lot of Monks with Fungi Tunics or Haste Items. It felt like most monk mains (I had a high level Monk as one of my main characters) were too poor to afford any decent loot really. But I just never felt tanky, which is why I ultimately mained a Rogue.
I still think P99 may have Monk's tankiness wrong though because I remember leveling with Bebquix during the early days of P99 Green and they were wearing cloth armor and had no haste item or jewelry and were able to main tank pretty much 1-50. (I was their healer; me and Bebquix aren't the same person). On my Monk I never felt like a Tank, in the moments where our tanks would DC I would be lucky not to die trying to tank a single mob, and I was kind of a twink, had Frolok Crown, Azure Sleeves, Granite Bracer, Gatorscale Leggings, FBSS etc. during a time period where that gear was still fairly renowned.
IDK.
