My personal opinion on this subject is that we should be able to travel around learning new styles when we reach a certain level or some other target for example a at 2000 kills our master would teach us a new style with new attacks. Limiting the monk to only one choice out three and making it a lifetime decision is too rigid and against what the monk is all about; learning new styles and ways of defeating an enemy.

I played EQ for 7 years I played a monk but my main was a warrior. The combat system in EQ is very basic. It didnt require much thinking but in Vanguard I find the combat system much more complex and needing more of my attention. I picked a monk to play because I love kung fu and combat. I don't think vanguard needs monks to be pullers the same as they were in EQ, from what i've read there are other classes more suited to it. I have to admit at first I was kind of annoyed with the change they made to FD but now i'm startin to feel like the burden of pulling has been removed and I can concentrate on the combat side alot more. I think they should leave the FD thing alone and just concetrate on making the monk class a lot more fun to play.

I see the light!

Want to see what being a kung fu monk is all about? Watch a Gordon Liu Kung Fu film!. Pulling? F@#k that I just want to kick some ASS! Hyah Het hyah waai ! I'm talking about Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique / Shaolin Wonder Palm / Chin Kang Fist / 8 divine sword style. Whoever thought of the drunken style in Vanguard needs to watch the final fight with thunder legs in jackie chans Drunken Master
