Traditional fantasy-based MMO classes redesigned for a post-apocalyptic setting: ( 7 / 9 ) monks

Traditional fantasy-based “monk”-type classes seem to usually have deep ties to nature to augment their bare-knuckle fisticuffs, so I thought it’d be reasonable to take them in the opposite direction for a post-apocalyptic setting. So, these guys still rely solely on their fists in combat, but are aided by mechanical enhancements.  

The mechanical enhancements are most obviously visible as large gauntlets, but also includes components integrated more deeply into the user’s physique, allowing for greater durability and strength. As a result, monks are able to “heal” (i.e. repair) themselves to a greater degree than most other classes are capable of (with the exception of dedicated healer classes). 

Due to their mechanical enhancements, monks are well-rounded fighters hampered only by below-average speed and range. Though largely self-sufficient, they also don’t have any particular stand-out strengths.
