Vanguard Monks

Hello everyone. Before i started my monk I was a Necro, i hit level 26. The clothie thing, and dying all the time wasnt for me. My brother suggested i try a Monk. I just hit level 5, and i was starting to think about which mastery to go, my brother has a drunken monk he likes. But he also says that harmonious is the only one not broken. What i want to be able to do is do some decent damage, do well in groups and solo, maybe not well, but be able to solo, which should i go? Second, which wep should i use? Blade Staff or Knuckles are the only 2 I have heard of. Please help me  ;D

Without question harmonious is the most capable in terms of soloing.

In terms of who brings what to groups, it depends on the group but typically the harmonious debuffs are pretty useful.  For solo you want (imo) the best windblade you can lay your hands on.  Ramped up parry = quivering palm on 24/7 which mean you take half damage.  Its a must.

All three do pretty good damage.  Dragon is abysmal in terms of soloability.  Drunk is a step between.

To be frank if you wanted to play a class that solo's well you'd do better sticking with your necro.  You can build them to be reasonably durable and solo some amazing things if played well and you can still kill pretty fast.

Shaman, disciple, cleric, bloodmage can also solo some pretty impressive stuff.

People typically roll a monk to pummel the crap out of things, be viable off tanks, and the safest pullers a group/raid could ask for.

Lol thanks, I am not that good with my Necro right now, so it is VERY hard to solo. And thanks for the advice. ;D
