I think when they rescricted it was to prevent manaburn abuse because of those monsters (read goats) that kept following us. But now that monsters don't follow anymore, its about time for SE to remove claim restriction so MRDs will be free to destroy multiples monsters at same time.

@Goma: Yep, monkey grip would be to allow them to use shields with good effect (like lantern shield) which would make MRD an even better crowd controller/tank (since would be able to use war drum comboing with warmonger) or eventual 1-handed weapon offhand when dual wield is unlocked...a good example would be, since MRD lacks in piercing damage, equipping a dagger off-hand for when using piercing WS.

About the hauby...hunter tunic actually offers a much better option for MRD. Only problem is that tunics, just like all other DoW/DoM cloth armors, stopped at velveteen, not being comparable to high rank armors. But you can compare bowman tunic (r39) with Iron hauby (r37) and you will see that they're, pretty much, even. The only difference is that the tunic has way more evasion, more magic defense and less defense. So, when SE add the r49 tunic (linen-made one i guess), it does will be even to cavalry hauby. IMO hauby and cuirass should be armor just for LNC and GLA right now since they are heavy armor-useres (and for future classes, like paladins, warriors, dark knights, etc).
What about scale mail lol? MRD can wear scale, breath damage reducution, evasion i think is better then hauby, magic defense is higher then hauby... saying this because I got a Mossyhorn scale mail +1, rather look cool and tanks just fine as a Rank 50 MRD in Scale mail, but i dont know about tunic damage reduction stats comapared to hauby like blunt, peircing....
All I know is I take less damage then a glad unless their sheild actually blocks which requires the glad to guard every 10 secs lol
