If an underpowered class is buffed to be more in line with other classes, it's not hurting anybody who doesn't want to play monk, it just makes playing monk a more mechanically viable choice. Now powercreep within the class of adding a new subclass which is buffed compared to the others is another story. I'm not sure if that's the way to go, vs. revising the base class. But it's the way they went when they introduced Gloomstalker, which my sense is many people were happy to see... and ranger as a whole package is stronger than monk as a base class (despite, like the monk, also having a number of 'ribbon' features where other classes are getting real meat) because it has spells.</blockquote>
