Well, actually in some cases I found monk's speed more an annoyance than being useful in a party. He would get much ahead of everyone else and meet enemies before the rest could catch up. I wish high speed was a skill that could be turned on and off (through the special ability icon; much like power attack etc). [/QUOTE]I agree. A uberfast character can be a pain, if you keep him in the formation. OTOH, being uberfast is nice for a scout.
When I have boots of speed available, I tend to give'em to my scout, not my lead tank for this reason. I suppose if you play a more aggressive, attacking combat style where you charge into battle, rather than wait for the enemy to come to you, then great speed is nice for closing the distance as quickly as possible. But if your combat style is defensive (as is mine), then that great speed is wasted on a lead tank and can kill a formation.
Great speed is best used by scouts.
