the point is that the gap between barbs and monks is growing wider and wider.
monks arnt complete shit....yet, but if you plan on farming, or paragon lvling, your going to be even better off with a barb now then before the patch.
with out some huge changes, once they nerf owe, its going to make monks, hands down the worst class.
That depends on how you look at it. Also, I have a lot more fun playing my monk. So, it's a matter of opinion, not threadcrapping fact.
Also, we have no idea what their plans are for OWE. Yeah, theyve mentioned it a whole bunch of times, but they're already talking about other monk changes that are a lot closer, buffing lashing tail kick etc, that are still a long ways off themselves. Also, they sound terrible, but who knows what will eventually happen. So, OWE isn't even a legitimate argument either way.
So yea, like I already said, we got nerfed. So did barbs. So did every other class in the defensive area, because they nerfed incoming damage even more than defensive passives in order to reduce reliance on defensive passives.
Monks are still among the fastest classes in the game, and with gg gear, they are definitely the godliest period. That's saying a lot.
