False. SK/Pally snap aggro.

He wasn't saying sk's and paladins don't do anything better than monks.

The point is, all things considered, a monk brings more to the table in a greater breadth of situations. As a tank, a monk has more versatility in smaller comps (duo, trio). In full groups, monks can fulfill the tank role adequately while simultaneously bringing dps. You have to compare the marginal usefulness of snap agro to what a monk brings-- mitigation that is roughly the same, efficient pulling, and excellent dps. Snap agro allows your shaman to slow the mob 10 seconds earlier, is that worth losing the monk's massive dps? In most situations, probably not.

That said, I play a shadowknight, because I have fun with the class and I enjoy being the underdog so I can go on the forums and bitch about how monks are OP.
