Just my story of monks and their tanking abilities.....
So me and one other monk in my guild are at the same part of our epic gwan....we make arrangments to take people up there and get gwan done twice....well of coarse not that many people come so I begin recruiting, luckily I found a 60 war willing to help and a 54ish Enchanter. We have 2 monks myself(54) and another 52 a 48 cleric, and a 54cleric begin dual boxed by the other monk a 60 mage with epic plus a few other caster classes....so we are fixing to port uo when the war says hes going afk for a bit, we wait 30min later hes not back we port up begin first island clearing with myself tanking, we clear the first island and the war is still not back yet so we decide to bite the bullet and make myself the main tank, well the princess was pretty tough she was hitting me for max well alot, so I am starting to freak out a bit cause we dont got a war. So we get to gwans island and there is another monk a 58 sitting there and he offers his assistance, so I get full buffed and go turn in scale, and gwan pops I preceed to attemp to slowly pull and he runs off the island...so i sit, he comes back about 10secs latter and I proceed to drag him back to the windmill when his knocback knocks me off the windmill island to a different island...o crap, gwan runs into the windmill and no ones know what to do so the 2 monks and the epic pet rush in, well in the end we did it and surprising ly it went smoothly and the monks didnt get beat up to bad(I was watching on my friend comp next to me) in the end the other monk got the breathe and we all jumped, so Im out a scale with no breath, and I learned that monks can tank, also that mage pets a great use when somthing enrages hehe.
