Why all the Monk Hate?

[Nicos]

Impresives saves, normal AC, very good touch AC. Vervy very low normal attack, acceptable attack with all the tricks (still low if you tae into account how many resoruces you need to do it).

I do not see why to have weapon finesse, it is just +1 to attack, there should be other combat feats that help more.

might I also suggest to take the guide archetype?

Very low normal attack? I know it's not the best but I didn't think it was that bad.

Now with all the tricks I am hitting an AC of 45 on a roll of 10 with my first two attacks and spending a Ki point I have three that hit 45. Hell I can hit a pit fiend with a 3 or better and it's 5 levels higher than this guy.

I could most likely give up the Skill Focus and Cosmopolitan feats to take something better.

Well, yeah you are right comparing it to a TWF ranger it is not bad. I withdraw that statement.

Ok just gonna be this guy then.
my first character ever was a monk and he was amazing. Yes I had to think heavily when I got a feat and magic items. But I loved it...damage increased with level and so did my AC. It felt natural. Because I never had to infest in weapons and armor and any loot of that nature I could just sell I got to experiment and learn alot of cool things I had access to because we also used 3.5 material. I was doing more damage then our wizard and fighter per turn but that was my focus...real glass cannon but because of my ki abilities it became a moot point really quickly. I love monks. Them and rangers are my favorite classes.
