You have 2 options. Going toe-toe and seeing who has the better equipment, and that person will win. Or you can dance around, using your fps skills, connection, and equipment to ensure the win. Its more like a boxing match when you dance around. AC is king.
Monks are masters of straight up melee damage.
Get your AC as high as possible and try to dance your way to victory, standing toe to toe with a monk is asking to loose. Mend is your worse enemy, and fists and kicks will hurt. Pretty easy targets, masters of the dance of blades. Never leave your back open for a backstab, without them, a rogue is a weak warrior. Keep a Counteract poison and a pumice slot ready for a rogue who uses magic and poison based poisons.
