[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5253706, member: 43019"] It was a Greatsword vs. Glaive comparison. Greatswords are 1 higher proficiency, +.5 avg dmg more, and lack reach. Sounds like you'd prefer the non-Implement version of the monk, where they went against AC and used the weapon stats. Eh. Honestly, the weapon system is largely not a success at the moment due to superior weapons and certain properties. I'm not really for set damage, but I don't think the monk is an example of bad design. It actually works, and it works well. And it _can_ use a reach weapon if it wants, even using things like polearm gamble - its powers just aren't as focused around the weapon as a fighter or warlord, who uses proficiency, damage dice, weapon properties like brutal and high crit, etc. Much like a swordmage using implement powers like Sword Burst. @Ahrimon - 2d6 is likely not 2W, but 1W or 1.5W at most. Remember, you can have 2d6 weapons. [/QUOTE]
