As a level 34 monk (all be it with slightly above average equipment for my
level) Here is what I did after verants "dissapointing" news:
I took my two plat bp rings off and placed em in my inventory. Grabbed a pair
of jagged bands. I switched from drake hide leggings to gator scale: 7 AC! best
monk legs in the game. (I camped the ancient croc for about 7 hours one day and
got em myself - made 2kpp selling the gator amrs in the process!)
Serp bracers were replaced first with an erolisi and a vox and then with a Hero
bracer and a vox bracer. I HIGHLY recommend the hero bracer despite its weight
it has Awsome AC and looks super cool with the black treant fists equiped.
I took off that exec hood and switched to a Crown of forglock kings - 12 just
rocks.
Caveat:
With all these changes I did notice mobs were hitting me for a lot less.
However duel wiel in particular was rising slowly (dex increase melee skill
learning rates) SO what I do now is after each level play for an hour our two
in "dex gear" to max out my skills quickly then switch back to the AC/STR gear
when I am done. I maxed out equipment I can get my dex to 145 and agi to 139.
With stats like those I learn SUPER fast ( like I say I am usually maxed all my
melee skills within an hour of levelling) then its back to the old AC/STR gear
for the real tough fights.

So, folks, we all recently heard *with disappointment* about verant
employees posting about DEX and AGI - they seem to be a lot less important
than we hoped for. In light of this new information - what do all you monks
out there see as the most important stats for a monk, now? How would you
focus your items (ie STR? AC? HPS? AGI? DEX? STA?)? And how would you
distribute your starting points? Maybe a few could name some equipment that
backs up their opinions.
Thanks in advance for everyone's input =)
