Classes: The Monk

Monks - masters of hand to hand damage. The monk is a powerful fighting class. With their unique set of skills and need to keep their weight load down, monks are a very complex class to develop and play correctly.

What is the best way to develop your monk? Which skills should the monk concentrate on learning? What is the best fighting style for a monk? Can a monk be soloed, and if so how? How should a monk be played within a group? How can a monk best use his skills? What weapons and armor should you try to get for your monk?

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the Monk and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

Alright, I'll be blunt in this, but I might as well give you the back story first:

I first played EQ about a year ago, up until about 3 months ago. During that time, I tried playing just about every class and race and couldn't get used to any of them. I tried casters, and played everything but the magician but hated memorizing and medding, etc. Tried other things but I couldn't get the hang of any of them. Maybe I didn't play each of them long enough, but whatever. So now I'm starting up again and I talked to one of my friends about which class i'd be most suited for, and we chose the iksar monk. But now I'm getting paranoid again and I have no idea whether I'm going to like it in the long run. I just want something that is fun to play and I can help people. But I have no idea what class would be best for me that I would like over all others. My friend found his class after the second character, and he's a 43 druid now. But I'm still stuck.

So basically what I am saying, is that for thsoe of you who have played the monk, and other characters at the same time. Do you think I'd find it fun enough to stick with it? Or should I try something that would be more not mana based and tank-like. Or whatever. Maybe I need to give you more info, but I'm sorta confused about all this, so there. Anyway, any good help would be great, like why I should chose this class and what makes it fun. That is my main thing: fun. Something I can help people with yadda yadda yadda. Great now I'm blabbering. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!
