When did I ever say a Monk was useless? Stop putting Words in my mouth.

And have you ever been a Dungeon Master? A key point of the job it to make it challenging. Mobs get class levels, monsters get classic templates, enemies come out with battle plans.

Having a One-trick pony like a Stunning Strike Spammer is incredibly narrow minded and easy to counter/be countered.
