is the vit incombat regen really that bad? if so, wow.. i retract all my previous thoughts on higher incombat regen... guess i was getting too nostalgic for my iksar monk with his fungi tunic 

well, when you consider high vit = more hp regen than straight up hp, which you can compenstate for by itemization... so far, it seems to me, that no matter how many hps i have, the mobs tear through me like i'm wearing kleenex for armour, so it seems like high in-combat hp regen would help a bit.

but, isn't con straight 1:1 conversion to hp? seems like a waste of points when every attribute except con has some sort of multiplier.

i've always found that my disciple seemed to do more dps than my monk. both are 12, and i swear the disc kill faster, not to mention the fact that i can fight 4 mobs (2dot whites/yellows) at a time and never feel "in danger". i'm trying to have faith in the monk, and i don't feel the disc needs to be nerfed, quite the contrary... MONKS NEED A BUFF!! dps class indeed.
