AA — Monk

Monk AA determines whether you're a puller (utility first) or a DPS (melee first).

Path 1 — Puller

1. Combat Agility — avoidance. Critical for FD pulls where you take hits mid-cast.
2. Dextrous Dodging — passive dodge.
3. Combat Stability — survive missed FDs.
4. Mnemonic Retention-equivalent for disciplines.

Path 2 — DPS

1. Ashenhand — monk fist-skill AA.
2. Thunderous Kick — kick AA.
3. Weapon Affinity — proc chance.
4. Ambidexterity (if you dual-wield non-monk weapons).

Path 3 — Tank-Monk

Monks can tank emergency fights with AA investment in durability:

1. Combat Stability (1-3).
2. Combat Agility.
3. Ashenhand (DPS is still aggro).

Priority order, simplified

First 50 AA:

1. Combat Agility 1-3.
2. Ashenhand.
3. Combat Stability.
