C'mon... Since the very first final fantasy the monk class was a mixture of the mighty warrior and the swift thief.
In lineage 2 we play with ORC monks with freaking huge fist weapons. Also the evolution of the Monk class are the Tyrant.
In Ragnarok Online monks were the acolytes thet leave the supportive life style and assume the ultimate burst damage class in the game thorugh azura strike.
In D&D monks are matial artist that gets lots of special skills like poison imunity and super-human leaps. Also he have a one hit kill strike, wich makes then very good assassins (if he is a lawful evil character).
And i don't like the fact that guild wars monk are called monk. Priest would be more suitable imo.
And what all this stuff means? It means that for video games, monks are nor but matial artists with some special divine powers sometimes. The real pacifist monks have absolutly no influence on our concept of ''monkhood''.
But... I would hate to see a matial artist in diablo. Also i can't imagine a monk wearing a gothic plate lol.

"In time the hissing of her sanity
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
And like marked pages in a diary
Everything seemed clean that is unstained
The incoherent talk of ordinary days
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
What you should take and what to give" - Opeth
