WW Monks vs Rogues

Hey guys/girls

I am wondering what the current status is on WW monks as opposed to Rogues. I know rogues are overplayed right now and are making the bracket a little awkward. I also noticed that next to no one plays WW monks anymore, but I remember them being very viable (mobility, stun and dmg). Like all classes at 19 those 2 are just as glass cannon'y and squishy when it comes to survivability.

I guess what I am asking is which of those 2 is worth going full out and getting BiS with. I am usually a rogue type of person (8 years of experience) but I am feeling rather adventurous and brave, thus ready to rock out a nice WW monk as well! :)

Please share your opinions or possibly past experiences!
 
WW isn't really viable but really fun. I'd prefer WW though as there are so many rogues atm.

That is exactly what I am thinking as well. I hate the fact that there are so many rogues, and the ones that do play them well are very good thus we dont really need more!
 
I played it in 24's for a long time, and its a blast. It would be a lot harder to play at 19 I'd imagine as you have none of the amazing defensives a 24 has. You would probably have a lot harder of a time and might have to give up some damage stats for a colossus or some other defensive itemization. Less burst damage as well. Plenty of sustained damage, but no ambush like abilities, not to mention no stealth, so you can be picked off quite easily at range. It would be a lot like playing a holy priest instead of a disc, less raw output for more fun/utility.
 
WW is a lot of fun when you get to punch people, but that is rare due to the nature of wsg (and everyone being a wizard/hunter or rogue). Rogue you get to 1 shot people with ambush. WW you're useless in mid and you'd be better off chucking barrels.
Gear is the same but enchants differ.
Monk
Rogue

I think you might have seen me in yesterdays games, so you saw that I am still learning my placement and getting a feel for my damage/burst. But oh man are WW fun. I really don't regret making the monk over the rogue! I really think I am going to bring a nice change with my twink since I noticed this bracket's DPS is mostly run by ranged! :)

I am really looking forward to tonight's games :D
