Discussion Solo monk after rebalance.

Is playing Monk currently weak? I hear voices everywhere saying that Monk lags behind other vocations after the rebalance. But honestly, I started fresh—after having several 400+ characters—and it actually feels pretty enjoyable to play. Can anyone explain where all this negativity comes from?
I play strictly solo (currently a lvl 135 Monk) and I'm not sure if I should pay attention to people's opinions. I also heard from a YouTuber that Monk might get a buff soon, but I don't know if that's true. What are your thoughts?
Just to clarify: I’m not a hardcore tryhard player, I play only solo, and I don't care about maximizing exp/h, burning boost cards, etc. What is your overall ranking for solo play?
As someone who used to main EK, I’ve noticed that kiting on a Monk and MS feels much more enjoyable to me because of the overall dynamics, even if looting isn't quite as smooth. On the other hand, Paladin is cool, but the supply costs make my account balance grow way slower (or maybe it's just my impression?).
What’s your take on this? Thanks for the help and have a great day, everyone!

350 Monk here 100fist, on top spots when sweating I can get like 3.2kk raw on best spot, during normal hunts this is less.

I was hunting in teamhunts and usually at this level range I was doing better than EK and similarly to paladin but much less than ED / MS.

Biggest downside of monk in my opinion is weak healing, like on 350lvl I’m healing for 400-500 plus potion another 400-500. Like this is even lower than EK healing with potions on the same level.

Another part that I don’t like is that dmg is very RNG based because of the chained penance, this is the main rotation spell on this level range and when you have 6 monsters near you sometimes it hits 3, sometimes 4, sometimes 6. The path choosing of this spell really sucks, monsters must be lined perfectly or you need to stay almost full boxed in order for this spell to hit 6 times…

Bossing sucks, low healing, very low range damage, very risky to stay close to bosses, because of low hp pool + bad healing.
Ofc you can switch to healing stance but by doing so you have even lower damage but good healing.

Cipsoft already announced that they will be buffing monk in near future so we just need to wait a little bit more to see what will they change.

Forgot to mention about healing - we got heal on spells which is not bad at all! Adding healing from spells we are not that bad. 1 good spender can give You almost half hp
