100% agreed, I just wish more people would realize this instead of arguing for pages.

Anyway, to the OP: if you're going to monk, heal. and by heal, I mean prot.

I have felt free to use a smiting monk. I started off as a smiting monk because it made Istan considerably more entertaining. I'm not one of the exceptionally rude monks who enters a party and doesn't tell anyone he/she is a smiting monk. When I play with humans I go healing. But when my team consists of heroes and henchmen do you think they really care if I'm a smiter? God no, in fact I've seen Dunkoro actively encourage me to pump out Bane Signet as often as I can

I find it ironic and actually quite funny that you talk of multiple "pages"...and your post was the one to push the debate onto the second page! ^^
