You have +4 tp hit and +19 on damage.
I have about everythign there is to get for hand-damage
and am a monk prime, AND I run at 18/100 str
vs junky ac gear. . just like a thief prime
as far as damage reduction goes
afaik 1 point is 1% and you get a couple freebies
just for being a monk. Damage reduction isn't quite
as gamebreaking as it used to be. I would say now it
is basically a "perk", not something I'm going to spend
on until the very end, why bother when you can do so much
more with your eq. The real shit for tanks I think is fluidity.
That makes a difference, and you don't have to sacrifice eq for it,
just a ******* class
