Monk is both among the jobs with the most changes, and yet the most similar playstyle to how it worked in ARR! Let’s take a dive through history of the job and see exactly how that all went down!
If this video motivated you to want to start playing Monk yourself, then I have both a starter and high level guide, covering the entire leveling and endgame experience of the job in broad strokes!

I'd love to hear what surprised you the most about the Monk's journey through time! Or, alternatively, if you noticed something you think I missed, or something you think I explicitly got wrong, I would love to hear about this too, as we both can learn from it! 😊
And finally, are there any other jobs you would like to see a walk through history for like this one?
