@Aleune: id suggest you spending more time on monks before you comment about skill set, not EVERY monk set thunderclap for hotkey, they actually do lack hotkeys to skill the skills they "want". this is based on my experience and observation

generally imho both classes has its pro and cons, in terms of general mobility, barb do have that advantage, leap to be specific

AR and armor ration has a specific balance, as a barb you should know that, stacking up maximum AR and armor doesnt mean that you will do better tanking than another that is having lesser.

why most barb goes for dps on later acts are very obvious, tanker barbs arent as efficient as dps when you are soloing for obvious reasons, the enrage timer. makes not sense if you are gonna tank a shitload of mobs/elites/champ but cant kill it when you are alone before the enrage timer hits.

monk heal comes with cost

revenge/charge dreadnought no cost, lower cooldown

im not even gonna touch the passives


thunderclap single targeted, unable to bypass waller

leap/charge, bypass wall & breaks jailing


ignore pain against serenity


etc etc etc etc

as i have said previously, you cant gauge a particular build based on AH pricing, its just dumb to do so when its controlled by player themselves

barbs role again is segregated to 2, tanker or dps, hybrid is just dumb in inferno, alot of barbs would agree with me

you either go full tanker in coop, or go dps in solo

if you still insist on hybrid, get ready to feel the enrage timer punishments

each class has its pro and cons

one can argue that dps gears is expensive, i dont think tanker gears are cheap either, heck all barb gears are expensive due to idiots pricing barb gears, that doesnt mean monk gears are cheap either, overall the AH econ is fvcked up, if you get ANYTHING good that is cheap, just thank the luck god

Barb: ok pack your bags boys, we goin back to the north pole

Monk:
