Vanguard Monks

Atm I'm a lvl 40 Drunken Monk (50 LW) and I'm looking at making my T5 set. I Solo and Duo with a Cleric a lot.
So I will be making 2 sets of Armour.

First set: Full Pariah's (Plain)
For the Dex and Con while duoing with the Cleric.
I've found that taking and avoiding the hits is better then dealing lots of dmg.

Second set: Crit gear.

Should I make this armour Pariah's or Cavalier's?

I was thinking of making Cavalier's, because of the higher Str, even though the Vit isn't much good to me.

By "crit gear" do you mean gear that gives you more dps? If so then cavalier's is the way to go + pain crystal

If you are planning on raiding, and find a balanced and good guild, maybe get pariah's instead -
i have broken 1100 str on my orc, 200 over the cap
Unbuffed i have 610 str, so i would estimate around 450 or so is fine to reach the cap. However, with that much you will be much weaker in normal single group situations and certainly duoing and soloing

Decide what is best for you

(Just a point of interest - who tanks when you are duoing, you or the cleric? thx)

Thanks Simonson.

By Crit gear I mean Pain Crystals (Already have 1 lot of padding(5)). Just waiting on a 2nd Pain Crystal.

As for raiding, I'm not really sure if or when I will raid, I've got a couple of invites into guilds I can raid with if I want to. But I think I really need to look into getting into an Ozzy guild, but I also don't really want to be raiding 5 times a week, ran a rading guild in wow and raided that much and it just took it out of me.
ATM I just play to relax and have fun, so aren't really racing to 50.

As for tanking when duoing, it's me (Thanks why I went Drunken). My brothers Cleric is full healing, so I hold all the agro and he keeps me up.. But I think I have spoiled him a bit, cos he tends to complain about tanks in alot of the other grps he gets into. lol.

As a duo we will take on pretty much anything at least once or twice lol, we like to challenge ourselves, so 3 - 4 4dots at once, 5 - 10 3dots.
