Since the end of Wod, I find that the modifications made to the Monk are totally arbitrary, as if Blizz did not know what to do with this class, or did not want to program something complex. It drives me nuts.
So, just for fun, I did a little rework on Monk based on what it was and on what it is now. (just Breawmaster and Mistweaver)
