. Kkthx.
It's true that monk armors depend a lot of personal preference. I've met high-end monks who wear Wardener's set because the looks. There are certain monk builds that you might want tatoo's to have a bigger energy pool, mostly for prot builds that depend on maintained enchantments bonder or barrier guy for example.
For a PvP healer, dued to the metagame, you might want at least Judge's chest piece, because it's +AL vs physical damage. Judge's Pants are good too for the same reasons.
Now, depending what kind of monk you're, you might want to consider either judge's or tatoo's Arm and Foot wear. The criteria I'd follow is:
If you're a WoH monk or any monk with low energy cost spells, you would use Judge's set, since you won't get much benefit from a larger energy pool. However, if you're doing for example a SB, heal party or aegis type of monk, the tatoo's are nice, I guess, because you'd at least get benefit from the lager mana pool.
If you're gonna make a PvE monk, go all tatoo's since you'll get benefit from a larger mana pool with less energy management skills, provided you stay in the backline away from the aggro of monsters.
Noticed I say monk refering to either healer or prot.
