Monks were OP in dungeons and dragons.
No shocker that it was op in Everquest.

They had the same save tables as a thief.
Hense the amazing defensive skill caps in EQ.

They got additional attack for martial arts.
Hense the amazing offensive skill caps in EQ.

They had limitations on weight with food/coin.
Hense the weight limits in EQ.

The list goes on and on.

pretty cool thread, i'll admit.

I always wondered why Wu's armor was such garbage. I love this idea the devs set out to make, but can see why it totally sucked in EQ. The sad thing is it turned a very flavorful class into a boring, overpowered melee machine that competes with rogue DPS and warrior tanking with a more efficient instaheal mechanic than the paladin and superior FD to the shadowknight. Very yawn.

I believe the colloquialism for Wu's Pantaloons is "hot Trash"

theyre kind of an active class, where an active monk can make exp really fast in a group. Same with an active enchanter. But if you are a lazy player and like sitting around then youre more of a hinderance to the group than anything. As far as soloing theyre nice because they can solo at their own speed, soloing is just boring.

A monk that won't pull or tries to "brb guys", "afk bio", "need to get a drink", etc... repeatedly to get out of pulling is a piece of trash in my opinion.

The remedy if this keeps happening is for the group leader to say "okay" and drop them from the group, have someone else pull...and send him a tell saying to pst for an invite when he's back. It might sound harsh but it fixes up the slackers or makes them move on.

They know who they are, and there's more than a few out there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So... someone who doesn't constantly work to level your alts while you sit in one place is a piece of trash? Aren't we entitled.
