I play the Monk a lot. And honestly they need to give more bonuses to his daibo. Daibo swings slow and does much less damage than a monk dual wielding. Sure its easier to time the switch of your punches, but it's not worth it at all, at least in the beta.
He was just getting the info out as quickly as possible, which is something that is (or was) lacking from this site prior to him being here.
He will usually update his posts with more "lines" for you after posting a bare bones version of it to get it out quicker.
