Just wondering if Daibo monks might become viable once the class skill buffing patch rolls out. Theres some really high DPS ones with good stats and high crit for dirt cheap and I might buy them cause the room for profit if 2 handers do become viable is off the charts.
I'm pretty sure nobody bought this game with the expectation of kiting all day or whirling around forever like a ballerina.
Isnt this the monk forums arent they melees? Why are you kiting? My wizard doesnt even kite, he just stands there soaks everything with diamond skin and 1400 LoH with 900 resists. Certainly monks can stay in melee range longer than a caster because otherwise that would just be stupid game design.

Considering your tornadoes proc LOH while a Monks does not, it's not exactly easy to do. Wizards are indeed better tanks than monks for that very reason. Pretty much nothing can kill a geared wizard except like a triple desecrate stack or shielding/arcane mobs.
So yea, chalk it up to bad game design.
As for the OP.
Yes I do believe there is potential in a quickening/wave of light-explosive build with a 2 hander. Hopefully they reduce the cd on SSS too that would be a nice ability too.
Melee wizards only make good "tanks" when fighting huge groups, which obviously isn't always possible. For any other situation, monks are most certainly superior (assuming similar ratio between dps/tank stats).
While it'd be nice for 2h to be viable, I can't see myself ever playing it. It's just so painfully slow. Had enough of that while leveling my barbarian alt.
i think the point in using a 2H weapon is not to hit someone with frenzy or cleave or FoT or Blazing Fists but using wave of light, seven sided strike and other single target and AoE nukes ~
i believe in PvP 2H Weapons will find their place, since there is less "hangtime", i mean less click and hold over an enemy, than in normal gameplay
