Uh, the vast majority of dexterity crit chance is innate, and unless you've neglected that, you should have at least 10% regardless of what race you picked as Monk. I'm virtually always grouped, which includes dexterity buffs putting me at ~15% (sometimes less, sometimes more) - while ok, it's maybe 12.5%-13% unbuffed (haven't checked in a while, to be fair). A monk not yet 30 will still have a respectable near 40% (some more, some less, pending dexterity and +crit gear) critrate - the argumentation was a 30+ monk vs a 30+ ranger however, not sub-30; hence the ~50% comment.

Like I stated, in group, add ranger buff (5%) and then the bard ac debuff, which actually increase crit rate against a mob with nearly 25-30% (suspected number only, can't confirm, however it's huge numbers - entire group notices when it's on and off), you end up at maybe 80-85% critrate in (Magnificent) Tiger stance, this means that I in certain 10 second areas (hence the 2-5 2k crits - the 5 does additionally require a disciple to soulwrack my Ashen Hand though, so it dosen't work if he's not tagging along) do crit everything - I even go entire fights against 4 dots where everything is a crit with my standard group. I'm outdpsed by the Ranger (he benefits even more from the bard debuff if anything) but we both bring roughly the same DPS to the group (as the harmonious mitigation debuff really boosts a melee group). On top of that, he brings buffs, I bring utility.
Is the monk finished? No, we're the most unfinished of all DPS classes now (by quite far) - but we can still stand on our own legs and everything isn't as miserable as some would like to make it out to be.

I was able to chat with Talisker about a couple of things today. Here is a brief summary:

Regarding Evasion: We won't see an adjustment as the mode of operation went from internal from the styles to roughly 1/3 from form, 1/3 from items, 1/3 from buffs (pure evasion buffs). We can still reach respectable levels of evasion when you think about it. Sure it's not 70% We can get well over 25% easily.  Anywho....sharpen those martial swords!!!!

Regarding FD: Two important things to note:1.) FD was not intentionally messed with. I let him know I did list it as a monk issue and it should be addressed. 2.) FD in PVP is not a "cheat death" ability it's considered a trick for PVP. This may change at a later time. For now though it is working as they intended it to.

Regarding DPS: They are running the numbers to see where monks actually rank on the DPS totem pole. I'll update this when I get the results of this as well as let you know what they are going to do about it.

Regarding Itemization It's being looked at. As monks we should "need to want" weapons. I think that is a Talkser-ism /boggle This will go a bit to address the DPS situation hopefully.

Don't forget that one of the typically overlooked but extremely important role to you with Vitality: It not only boosts your regen, it also affects how much you get healed on a heal.
