No Class will be able to performe its best in PvP when no defensive skills are used. The same goes for Monk.
Its just so that Monk has heals as defensive skills (and other ofc).
So you want to go in the Arena without defensive skills (heals)? No problem, but no one will do this cause its stupid.
I didn't say that. As defense I'm counting on skills that I like more like Blinding Flash, Dashing Strike (to move away), Serenity, etc.
Monk is the only class that actually heal itself (outside of life leech). If you properly use serenity and breath of heaven you have the ability to be a WoW Pally (with their bubble + self heal).
Barbarian can stun then self heal with life leech.
I fear you think this is an MMO....You are not going be stuck being a pure support or pure healer....it just wont happen. However, a monk is a supporting characters (With heals etc) and you may not be playing to maximum efficiency without those skills. Every class will be able to have great damage output, but if you want to be a glass cannon monk might not be the best choice for you.
Thats just the thing. WHY can't I be a glass cannon Monk? It's quite frustrating. And I know its not a MMO. I played D2 for a long, long time and WoW for quite a while. BECAUSE of that I fear this.
I'm hoping I can go full face-ripping mode same as a barb can go a bit more "tanky" for arena. But considering it can wield x2 2 handers, I'm having quite a hard time imagining how this is going to be possible.
wtf are you talking about? No one can wield 2x 2-handers...
Also Monks will be just fine in dps/pvp... in fact i'm thinking monk will be a better tank than the barbarian.
Monks get high dodge - dodge negates ALL damage and snaring effects. They then have a passive that allows them to turn their dexterity into armor - allowing them to have high armor.
Monks then have good dps abilities and combos allowing them to output just as much damage as any other class. Just be warned that monk is going to the hardest class to properly master.

i've never had a worthwhile sickle drop.... or the carver weapon either. They are always whites so i ignore them.
Ok ... i guess you got me there. I was unaware sickle was considered a mighty weapon.
Still ... i don't think mighty weapons will out dps other weapons as much as you think.

Name a mighty weapon in beta that can be dual wielded? Pretty sure you are comparing d2 to d3... and you call ME the noob?
Um yeah... since when did barbarian dual wield mighty weapons? Have you even played beta?
