After the recent monk changes, It has become common practice for monks to swap in tier 10-11 or lower gear simply to get stats for their bare fist ratio that some end game slots are lacking.
For instance, my character (Sabuti) has just about every piece of loot an end game monk can have. With all the tier 13 gear, and a supreme charm, I am sitting at 880 combined STR/DEX. Some other lower tiered monks that I know of however, have higher/comparable numbers, with worse charms.
Kraun, 971!
Zawrlith, 907
Thanman, 949
Jaec, 885
Bertt, 864
Randj, 862 MINUS weapon stats, WITH athica neck lol
Now you may say, "Stop crying Sabuti your stats are close enough." Well, that might be correct, but unfortunately I do not know the exact values of stats to damage ratio on barefist, and I do think it is silly for lower tiered monks to have a decent amount of stats on me, due to my gear lacking.
The items I believe were missed / need adjusting are the ones listed below with my reasoning:

Ah yes, the item with the fabled story of Susvain asking the same thing I am asking now, only to get -10hp and +1 to all stats in return. However, now with all the other monk gear getting nerfs to stats, why not buff an item that is very obviously in need of stats? This bracer drops off the end boss in Turruj (Tier 13) while Lleoc and Kiseble wear Eyes of the Father bracer (Tier 10) because it has stats. This is pretty silly in my opinion.

This is an awesome item for monks not only for its hp and ac, but because it's a handy worn tag clicky. However, you guessed it! It only has 10 combined STR/DEX, and yet again, Lleoc opts to wear Signet of the Bruiser (Tier 11) over the Bone (Tier 13) because it has WAY more stats.

Best haste for monks off of a tier 13 raid mob, 0 combined STR/DEX

Good tier 11, end game monk back because of hp and ac, not so great because of much less stats than Shroud of misery (Tier 10)
Is this intended? Were monks meant to wear much lower tier gear to maximize their dps? if so, please trash can this thread, if not, please comment your thoughts. Apologies for the poorly typed post, I am tired.
