I just post a close question on the monk board "what is the defining role of a monk" I have my own idea of what should be a Monk, Daoc has its own, AC (i.e UA) another one and Sony another one. When starting my monk here, and despite it was defined as a tank, I suppoed it would be close to its design of Eq1 (except for FD) and with a bit more tanking habilities (I just wonder how (in leather armor) you can tank as good as a Paladin or a guardian in Plate armor) 32 levels and 6 month later I understand that my monk is being totally revamped. Ok, BUT : - what will he be exactly the 12 sept ? - is it the return of the FD pull ? - will he become a healer as in DaoC ? - will he be really more effective than a guardian as a DPSer ? - if I let its AGI as it is and pump all my points in STR, will I still be able to tank and add more DPS ? - I choose Wood elf for its look and great AGI, is it now a good choice if I still want to be a DPS monk ? - and what about the HP a tank should have ? As other people said, it seems we are forced to start a new game with an old character September the 12th.
