Well first off thanks for all the other advice and insight from the rest of your post but it is the above quote that I am looking towards more. Monks in any game will have a glass jaw and that's a fact I came to accept years and years ago. All of the cross stat dependencies for Monks (In any game) are what tend to get us killed since we are neglecting all possible defensive options in favor of our dps focus.
