Power Leveling?

[Snaggles]

You made a monk for the intent of PL later? Isn't that like a destitute person becoming a philanthropist? O_o

Look, a monk can indeed PL. Fact is tho a Sham or Druid does so better in 95% of the levels. They are also faster to level with less gear dependance. A Mage is a HORRIBLE power leveler for end-game and one of the best for the low/mid range; basically a druid without healing.

I love monks and would play one for the class. PL is an afterthought though. Any class can PL (kill over half health), just some are better. Play a rogue if you like the class, just assume soloing will be Hell and your budget blown on a good piercer immediately above all else.
