This is advice that I give regularly. If you play a healer 'because it's needed' you are more likely to dislike the character, feel like you're grinding, resent guildmates that played what they wanted and 'stuck' you playing a healer.

Now you may find that you enjoy playing a disciple ... I personally find them an awesome class ... I'm just saying that if you play something because you feel that you 'have to' or 'need to' you are more likely to unfairly judge the class, the game, or otherwise lessen your enjoyment of your play time.

Just gonna throw in my 2 cents. 

I like my monk alot, even though the last patch made me a little pissed, 22%+ avoidance gone.  As a drunken monk i feel my dps is pretty decent overall if you pay attention to what your doing, weaknesses ect.  I agree with not having enough endurance, once you really start to learn the monk and get in the flow of things, you run out alot.

I really hope for something for FD also.  It's saved my ass countless times already, but failed 4-5 times ina row on higher level things.  I can only keep my self alive for so long! lol 

I'm torn here.  EQ fd was pretty awesome for surviving ALOT of mayhem, i lived through some hairy stuff in my day in EQ.   Any real monk knows what im talking about.  Just you and the wind left in NTOV, your guildmates scatered around you, lol.   

On the other hand VG fd wipes aggro almost everytime, and is obviously gone or not.  Thats very very nice.  After years of having SNARF come back and chase you...lol      Thats almost worth the amount of fails, almost...   When they corpse camp you its easy to remedy, just wait for fd to refresh and tap it quick twice.  If you do it fast enough nothing re-aggros.

I guess theres really no point to this other than voicing my opinion.  Push on monk brothers( we need a raised fist emote..  )
