@ Fizzle: to be an effective Sin (eg not being too much of a drag on your Monk whilst doing your job) requires skill. Choose:
1. you know that already
2. you suck

as for the "sins take no skill" argument:

cut it out now, or i'll start hurting feelings. this game uses 8 skills on a skill bar, they all get used over and over, and anyone playing their profession well, will be using specialized strategies, thinking, and positioning techniques to play the game at 100% efficientcy.

i play warrior, people call us out all the time, but anyone that knows anything about this game will tell you active interupt frontline body blocking/damage dealing is one of the hardest things out there.

every profession has a noob way of playing, and a pro way of playing, simple as that.
