I have a 51 SK and a 65 Monk (does less damage than a Bruiser).
Monk can open up a can of whoopass, Sk does very respectable damage.
Monk takes hits like he is wearing leather...like he is. SK takes hits like he is wearing plate..Nuff said.
Monk has best feign death in the game. SK has a crappy FD, has a group escape port and a 'simon says die' button for most mobs (Harm touch line).
SK in Off stance with Master 1s (I have mostly M1s) can do really good damage and life taps are nice.
The Violet flame on your hand is uber too. :smileyvery-happy:
