Not really.

1. Monks tend towards a dex 20 stat line which means str at best is 16. So lower accuracy and damage.

2. It is a riderless attack that deals weak damage and gets no striker feature every time you use it (if you use your striker feature with it you likely missed out using a better power with it). The sorcerer could take a power for MBAs and/or RBAs and get their striker feature every time they use it whether they attack 3 times in a round or not on their turn.

3. It will be a weapon attack (unless you are a 1/2 elf and take the vampire at will) which means many of your feats won't work with it and since monks often wield weapons with small damage dice the damage is low in general.



It is probably best to say that stone fist has the best monk MBA intrinsically but that doesn't mean it is strong.
