Huge ditto... monks in general waited way too long to receive any sort of attention, and still accept for Harmonious, alot of work lays ahead.  While monks are at least playable now, and always have been very enjoyable to play even when totally Fubar'ed... I think we've been more than patient, and respectfully I'm asking for more immediate attention.

As usual im at work and didn't get to finish my thoughts.

If you look back to games like EQ, you'll see where classes were imbalanced, in many cases not very functional in groups, and the solution to this was to fix it after you began getting AA's.  End game fixes aren't the answer to any problem.  There needs to be balance throughout the leveling experience as well to make it worth reaching.  Too often in games i've seen where there's classes or abilities (Vg Monk has alot of the ability issues) that weren't where they needed to be until end content and lvls were reached.  Suddenly carrying around this baggage for 30+ lvls was worth it.  Suddenly there was purpose, utility, and everyone was happy.  It's thinking like that which has caused so many games to lockout new players, or force them to be carried along by friends/guilds til they reached the point when they became a viable, playable class.  I can recall an experience in one beta run i was doing where... my character had a spell to buff pets, but had to wait 4 more levels to have one to cast it on.  Abilities in Vg like Pushing Hands, Sun Dragons Carona, Many of the aoe attacks monks receive.. need to be useful, in solo and group play, usable, and desirable... having an ability that doesn't suit the concept of the class/archtype is just wasted filler... give them something they can/ will use.  Not another button just to sit on the bar... or be removed because we'd never touch it. 

That's as bad as giving us 3 weapons that are exactly the same;p
