No one should be in any hurry to get to monk

worst character in game, not even including that it starts the4 door mq
melee = have to use robes = kill much less per regen
caster = start with 20 int (could be worse i guess, caster barb/fighter ftw)
mq = 4 doors
Stay pally when you get there !
I've considered reverting back to pally, but that probably won't happen until i officially lose all hope of resetting the ladder
