Default Super Easy Monk Update

This would not help in the true long-haul but it would be better than nothing for now.

As it stands now Monks get shafted in everything. No "beast relic" (SR/BS) no super (MR/CR/VS and upgrades), and no beast upgrade or ID item for that matter(Familiar/Squire) but that's not even the worst part!

Typical Fighter/Caster armor: DPP.
Upgrade: Demo for MORE str/dur
Upgrade: Earthen for resists
Upgrade: Crystal for MORE resists.
Upgrade: Shadow for PvP boosts.

Typical Monk armor: DCC
Upgrade: None.
Sidegrade(if that): Crystal for balanced AGI/CNT and resistances
Pseudo-Upgrade: Shadow for pvp benefits.

aka: Worthless for utility. Without a pile of D*Devs and 125 MD, monk is not a competitor.

Simple fix:
Make Demo offer 25% boost to Agi+Cnt
Make Earthen offer 50% boost to Agi+Cnt
Make Crystal/Shadow offer 100% boost to Agi+Cnt (perhaps 75%)

As it stands Monks get NO resistance armor with ANY benefit up to Crystal(unbalanced by far) and 25% agi+cnt is just this side of worthless due to the massive damage loss from DCC for such an obscene cost.

This is an easy fix, simply add Monk stats to Demo/Earthen gear and buff Crystal/Shadow. Even 25% for Demo and Earthen with 50% Crystal and Shadow would be a start. As is without 4 D*Devs, 125MD and 10 Fires... a monk is UNABLE to 9x9x2 Ubers.
