I can't say how best to change monk, but I think that it suffers from a similar position (if not worse) to ranger as I mentioned in a post recently. It's painfully mediocre, but not quite enough to actually warrant changes. I myself have made nice use of it here and there, but I think that it's fair to say that very few people play monk to do monk things. martial artist has some nice stuff, particularly if you main class, and between it and monk most builds can get nice hp and fp sustain skills as well as an all round nice skill in kadouha. Unfortunately, that's usually where monk ends for almost everyone that uses it. giving the attack scalings and/or fist swa as a whole some love would be nice. Making ki a more flexible resource to build and making other skills be as tempting to spend it on as kadouha would also do wonders for the class.
