Kind of sucks that since I am a monk and my guild already has probably the most uber monk on the server raiding with them, that I will not see in the inside of any of the cool zones until they go on farming status. More disapointing is that I will never be able to actually share in the moment of a first time kill or guild victory. I will have to be content to cheer from the sidelines.

Time for you to go find a new guild IMO.

hehehe can't dps well....wished you were in my vent lastnight when my guild leader(warlock) said theres no fucking way a fighter should be topping the parse ever!!

Yes Monks can tank just fine, only a few have a chance to actually show they can tank with no probs. I've said it once and I know there have been others who have said it, its the driver not the car.

Sometimes, that's easier said than done.

Well, due to the way class buffs have been worked out, the highest parsing, optimized raids do need more than 1 of a particular class (chanters/bards) to achieve the highest numbers.

And running a 2nd monk is truly a waste of a spot. Since the raidwide buff is already in place and presumably the tanking as well, the OP's role is just DPS and I'm sure there are quite a few other classes that can do that job better on a more consistent basis.

OP's raid leaders are not wrong in wanting to get rid of the 2nd monk/brawler. I definitely would. It's just unfortunate that the secondary monk had to be the OP.

Suggestion: Reroll another useful toon ie illy/bard/healer

Thats a WANT not a NEED. There is a big difference. And besides 1 coercer, 1 Illy, 1 Dirge and one 1 Troub work just fine if thats all you have.

If you WANT to not suck then having an optimized setup is a NEED not a want..
You may not WANT to think before u post dumbass shit like this but you NEED to
