That monk's a pretty cool guy, eh is a one man army and eh doesn't afraid of anything.~ (at least in tactics)
I don't think he meant overpowered, just very simple. I can surely agree with him on that, I love fist-fighters but buying new gear has a certain flair to me. Not to mention simple skill-wise where they lack any sort of variety whatsoever.
I like them but seem to be using them less and less as time passes.
