This is really interesting to me, because in Guild Wars Awesome, the monk class is my main character. I'm curious to try this and I can't wait to see how far I can take it.
I'm still on the fence whether I really like it or not.
To me, it sounds a lot like the Rune Keeper from LotRO. Anyone who has played that class know what I'm talking about. It was actually one of my favorite classes in LotRO, so I guess I could adjust to this in Guild Wars 2.
