OK, unless I'm missing something there seems to be an upcoming issue with Monks and update 9.
No, I'm not talking about the Ki generation, how about Monks in epics?

Right now Hekx (45 DC stunning fist) doesn't have much of a problem stunning stuff in epic.
With bursting wraps,rings etc, he does respectable damage even with the 2x crit.

In U9 however (again unless I missed something) saves are much higher, Hekx can still hit stuff, but in the (admittedly few) tests I ran the mobs saved alot more than they did before.

With the removal of autocrits, I beleieve the gap widens between what I can with wraps (19-20 x2), and what someone with one of the standard khopeshs (17-20 x3) will do. I think losing out on those autobursts hurt Monks more than other DPS classes. (Not math guy, so I may be completely wrong here though)

This update seems to
1) Deny some Monks their KI generation
2) Increase the DC's Monks will need for stuns in Epics (not necessarily a bad thing)
3) Decrease the damage Monks will do in epics compared to super Vorpal or khopesh wielding DPs toons.
Even with a 40 Wisdom, Quivering Palm will only have a 35 DC, against an epic fort save that's not really anything more than "lucky if they fail the roll" territory.

Is there something simple I'm missing, or is this change going to hurt Monks more than other classes in epics?
