well since everyone is wanking on dh, barb and wiz there is someone who will actualy start with this class ?
and thoughts about it ?
i finished beta with monk but u know its very limited :/
-
i will play monk after realise and today i'll check it on open beta
then i write some thougts about this class
-
well like i said, beta is very limited and i dont follow d3 forums, websites etc. mb someone got some hot specyfic info and would like to share it with (me) us ^_^

Imo this class will be PvP wise the best of all.
If we take a look at the spells, the monk reminds me of the paladin in WoW.
Heal, Support, extreme damage reduce talents and a noticeable damage output. As you said its beta so far and we are very limited, we have to take a look whats going on in about 3 weeks. But the Spirit system with the spenders and generators is looking very good. The class will be hard to play, but if youre good, i guess youre nearly unstoppable in the end. Ill play a monk for sure, but im unsure if the monk will be my first choice.

well imo monk + wd are "must have" ones in every 4v4 team - so much cc/buffs/debuffs/fight control, on the other side every class can and will be using some kind of cc/debuffs, but lets face it if you can have 1 monk in your team doing this stuff, wrecking havoc onto battlefield, and pure dps brb/dh/wizz to deal with those "red guys" it will be awesome (and common). So far the monk is imo the most difficult class in terms "which skills should i use" (all 4 of his defensive skills are so good - it will be a though one to pick up just one , basically it will be limited to your team roster/rules (if there will be any - for example "no inner sanctum vs 2 melee while playing with bh/wizzard")
-
to be specific, i like monk better than the barb .. t.t
-
i played all 5 classes last weekend in open beta and i find monk the most pro
this class have some advantage against other classes (like heal for example and some others)
of course it's difficult in play but when we get second breath on this class it's became quite simply and fun

so, who rolled a monk after all, and who didn't reroll this class?
normal-hell was fun, I could play dual-wielding ninja with over 9000 attacks per second, right now I'm running with a shield, and farming a2 to kill belial (on it, I could spend sth like 30-40 tries and down him with some lucky rng, but getting 2 blues out of it and huge repair bill is just kinda meh)
I think this class will start to shine much later in the game. When you'll have some BiS pieces, and will be able to switch to dual wield, high aps build using 2 or 3 spirit generators and every single skill/passive that boosts your dps. But then again whirlwind barbarian with some nasty 2hander looks much more promising.
From melee's point of view: I wish I rolled barbarian for tanking.
From minmaxing point of view: I wish I rolled dh to farm gear 1st.
