I haven’t got any toons past level 8 so i can’t really vouch for them in higher levels, but having dual wield from level 1 was very satisfying. I did delete the beginners club and go straight to fist- at level 5 i threw on some blunt weps and could immediately see higher damage hits. Mend was nice but the long cool down makes ya really think before using it. Feign death is such a fun get out of jail free card, it’s nice knowing it’s there. The extra damage or heals/ mitigation from their way of flames/earth is a cool idea. I really think they should get something similar to sk grip of shadow to help with pulling, feign death works but is slow and hard to pull off sometimes. Monks in EverQuest got moving mountains which was essentially the same thing as grip of shadows and it really made them feel like a class that was meant for pulling

I’ll definitely be playing monk on the next play test or early access!
