It just means you don't need anyone else to tank for you.The monk is much more combat-oriented, and specifically melee-oriented, than the rogue. If it isn't able to defend itself from melee foes, it can't fulfill its basic function. Movement-oriented defense suits the theme best IMO, but some kind of defense is absolutely necessary.Actual tanking means holding the enemy back from your allies. I think a monk should be able to pinch-hit in that role using movement or action denial, but not do it full-time.</blockquote>
