It's so odd because on live during kunark.. hybrids were some of the most popular classes. Rangers were near the top.

Well, not just that, but folks at the time didn't know what the future held. It was pretty widely believed that weaker classes would see improvements. Today we have the benefit of both hindsight and knowing where P1999 will stop. The issue isn't just a matter of Monks being stronger today, but also knowing that they'll be stronger forever. Folks who're happiest playing hybrids on P1999 are folks like me who'll make them regardless--power be damned. I'd never make a Monk or Warrior, so for me it isn't even a choice between them and hybrids so much as between playing a hybrid or not playing at all. I maintain that most folks who're less picky with respect to what classes they play are best-served in the long term by going with the Monk over the hybrid melees.
In truth the Shadow Knight can do most of what a Monk can (albeit usually takes longer to do it), and a few things a Monk cannot. Being a bit weaker overall doesn't translate into being weaker at everything, so it does offer a few advantages and conveniences. My character has done everything I've reasonably asked it to do, and I'm hard-pressed to think of anything I want to do, but can't, that a Monk could. Danth | ||
