<DIV>You consider a monk as a tank??</DIV> <DIV>I know that I cannot stand up to half the damage tanks my level do. Agreed we have the avoidance, but when we get hit, we get HIT!! Like 3 successful hits would kill me with 1600hps...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you feel differently express your opinion</DIV>

<DIV>DPS? Your having a laugh.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Monks are an artisan class, nothing more....</DIV>

[Computer MAn]

I personally believe monks can still tank maybe not the epic raid stuff but on normal groups we can do fine. The other day I shocked everyone in my group when I tanked everling in Nek Castle so monks as tanks is possible <div></div>

[SageMarrow]

<P>hey, my artisan bruiser tanked everling too. I took my sewing needle and my pajama pants and whupped his [Removed for Content]!!!!</P> <P>Impressed all of my adventuring class buddies, especially that provisioner guy, hes got some badd assss nukes</P>

[Fev]

no.

<DIV>Hmm someone is a bit late on news here...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Didn't you get the memo? We're tanks, not DPS...</DIV>

[Aleatha_Jones]

<DIV>Glad I'm not a part of the Crushbone Server if that's their view.  Probably just 2 guys ignorant opinion.  I tank just as well as the plate classes...they even had a hard time keeping agro when I would just use my offensive combat arts.  I always compete with dps classes in my group, and sometimes beat them out (using the info from Combat Stats).  :smileyvery-happy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kyben 39 Inkie Monkey</DIV> <DIV>Warriors of the Realm</DIV> <DIV>Toxx Server (as of April 18th)</DIV>

<P>Personally, I tank all the single ^^ mobs and my buddy the mad zerker tanks all the multi mob ^^'s. We rotate like that cuz I pwn at the single mobs and his all out AOE list of skills kicks [Removed for Content] with the multi's. </P> <P> </P> <P>Whats the challenge in being a Guardian?? </P> <P>Refuse to tip toe thru life just to arrive safely at death!!!</P>

I'm a tank and DPS rolled into one sexified beast of a monk, for the record <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[SageMarrow]

your character looks like sean connery, for the record

[Grabaan]

hehe, he's meant to look like my EQ1 monk but older, with a pony tail instead of the shoulder length of EQ1. I hadn't thought about it that way before lol <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>
