[QUOTE="CubicsRube, post: 8049143, member: 6848185"] I think one of the things a monk can be satisfying in combat for in fact is its versatility. If you want to be optimal a a certain strategy being a monk is most likely not the right choice. But if you need to take on enemy casters, monks can be effective at filling that niche. If next fight, you're against a large solo monster, you can trying stunning them and be somewhat effective at this. If you're a 4e monk like my char and you're fighting against large numbers, you have things like shatter and fireball that give you AoE options very few martials have. If yore a shadow monk, you can be godlike at scouting and sneaking, or getting yourself to the bank ranks of a battlefield in an instant. You'll never be the "best" at any of those things, but you can be thrown into a dozen different fights and have a dozen different answers. It's very difficult to hard counter a monk. And for always having something to do in any combat I'm in and never feeling useless, I rate the monk at 10/10 on the Cubic FUNness scale(TM) [/QUOTE]
