Basically if you are not in Fire stance you are SOL.

From my personal tests it is not too bad (albeit very noticeable) if you play solo, you will still be able to generate enough ki, it will just take a little longer. The real problem is when you are in full groups. You will never generate sufficient Ki in full groups or raids no matter what stance you are in and what gear you use.

The short and skinny of it is this:
The Devs hate monks and/or do not know how to play monks. :P
They haven't stated that. What Eladrin said is that Ki wasn't meant to be a limitless resource. Which is the current state with Auto-crits+crane. They haven't made a statement on the current state of ki in Lammania, only that Auto-crits was considered a fix, too which extent I fully agree.

I don't agree however that ki should be as it is, only significantly different between a lv 20 monk and a lv 1 monk. when using Firestance or oremis kneck.

A Dark monk should be able to keep up TOD and stunning fist in my mind, and as it stands against non-stationary targets you would be lucky (with crane/improved crit) too keep TOD on timer. nvm cool abilities like Abundant step or shadow fade or whatever those light monks get
