This will be under development for some time. It is really just for the fun of making an all-monk team, rather than actual effeciency. Should it prove effective on a certain thing, which I seriously doubt, I will post it in a proper build article. The primary vulnurablity is, besides low AL and probalby low damage, enchantment removal, although this team uses such an overkill on enchantments, no enchantment removal will be effecive to take down the team. Only several enemies carrying gaze of contempt or similar would be able to exploit this weakness. Important enchantments will be covered enough to be safe from normal removal.
