I have never played a Monk

[Nixtar]

Iksar is the min-max race but any decently played monk will be an asset to any group they're in. If you group a lot the ikky regen won't make a lick of difference(if it does, work on avoiding damage on pulls).

Make an FD macro. If you haven't turned off auto-attack it will fail.

Work on your sneak. Sneak pull + FD = single pulls all day. You might put the enchanter to sleep doing this though, but if this happens give one mob for the chanter to charm.

If you're forced to tank, demand people rooting(proxy aggro)/snaring because otherwise the mobs might just start ping-ponging between mobs.

Probably my favourite class in EQ. Very versitile. When you get your pulling technique down people will love you to the point when they will actively send you tells asking if you wanna hunt with them.
