I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this question, but I saw no information confirming nor denying my theory on this one. But is there any difference between the monk special attacks (kick, round kick, eagle strike, tiger strike, dragon punch, flying kick / tail rake) or are they just upgrades of the previous versions? Is there any reason at all to skill up earlier skills?

Also whether Kick abilities or Punch abilities can hit magic targets (willowisps, ghouls and whatnot) depends on their respective item slot being 'magic'. I remember when first leveling my monk, I didn't have magic gloves for a while and always had to kick the 'magic' mobs.
