The monk dosnt really need the items(if any just defensive ones or a strength belt), bye the way i know i said its a good powergamer class buts its really boring later because they get to level 21 and have 3% magic resistance per level thats 63 by the end of the game and say the amulet of magic resistance 10%
thats 73 and in hell they get another 10% so thats 83%, dont tell me they cant solo mages now.
In addition to this they get quivering palm and with 4 atacks per round theres a very good chance theyll kill the other guy outright and oh yeah stunning blow so they can take out opponents piecemeal.Need i mention their stealth abilities so they just come out of nowwhere and whack one top spellcaster dead its sick and dull if your drooling at the closing picture of stats i must say its not fun in fact its just pinfully dull
