i know that when it comes to giving out loot i give a f&$# what people on allah think. anyone qualified to lead a raid and kill a mob isnt going to come to allah for some anonymous advice.
As a bard I could really have gotten into these. The stats are very nice, the mana good for our charming, mana we regain *very* slowly as we cannot really med (med skill 1. imagine how slow, casters).
I won it on a lotto but my friend (mage) was there too so as I won it I withdrew, giving it to him - it was only the two of us rolling and I felt like being nice. It paid off, about 3 months later I got some leggings I really wanted.

I would have to disagree, this here goes to a pure caster. 8 int 8 dex and 45 mana, its a complete waste to stick it on a monk other stats are nice but these make it a caster item
8 dex increases the monks chance to proc, get skills up, and atk rating. 8 int increases the monks ability to increase skill with t&r and bind wound etc. The only usesless stat is 45 mana. Give this to a caster and what happens? Just more mana they have to regenerate. It does not actually make them any more effective, maybe enough mana combined with other gear for an extra nuke, like 400-1000 damage. The 8 dex alone will make a monk with this pass up a caster in a long fight.. while the caster is medding back their wonderful new mana.
Any monk of sufficent level to attain this should have all skills maxed, should have a 255 dex raid buffed and would be more interested in higher ac items or items with more hit points. Dex helps a caster land critial nukes. The 8 int is around 48 mana plus another 45 may just be enough to get a critical sunstrike in. The 3 wis is around 18 mana plus the 45 means that the cleric may have just enough mana to get one more CH off to win the fight. I agree how sad it is that some one level 59 would not understand that while there is NO BEST class that the classes that receive the most benifit from the item should be the ones to recive it.
The monk epic is easily obtainable. I suggest you don't give these to the groups/guilds monk. These have great resists so give it to someone else who could use the stats + resists.
What are you smoking??!! Oh wait, I bet you bought your MQ or had someone in the guild MQ it for ya. The wait on the bottleneck spawns is INSANE. That may not make it difficult from a gameplay standpoint, but it certainly makes it difficult to bear. If you have ever played a monk, then you'd know that it's no cakewalk.
Time invested does not equal reward (unless you are extremely lucky) in this case.
BTW - I agree that these are best given to a INT caster, bard, or SK before a monk.
