[QUOTE="generalhenry, post: 4318392, member: 41422"] a monk is no more a controller than a fighter is a controller. fighters hinder movement and do aoe attacks. two hand fighter, two hand paladins, twf rangers and brutal rogues already straddle the space between a defender and a striker. There's a KI power source, monks should use it. marks are what define defenders, do we really want monks tanking dragons? a move action is too much, and detracts from the monk's mobility. It should be a minor action. I like the idea, but as it is the monk can choose the tank stance or the tank stance. try to remember that there's very little stopping a paragon level character from picking up these abilities. All abilities need to be balanced. Flurry of blows is plainly superior to cleave etc. These definitely need to be toned down. I might go as far as making some of them unarmed only. [/QUOTE]
