Your AC is low. It needs to be 2500-2800 better on the higher end for AoW. But youre also only lv56. Hes Lv70, lol.

Most likely a specialty graphic on old models. Since Half Elves, Wood Elves, and Dark Elves (all the same size skeleton, I think) can't be Mnk/BST, the original artists didn't include them in the art. Just like why Barbs/Ogres/Trolls don't get robe graphics showing up.

I don't think you put a summoned ranged axe in your ranged slot, instead it should be a stat stick. It might help a little, but yea, I would think a level 70 is going to crush level 56, regardless.

AFAIK it's a Frenzy focused crit/atk melee damage set up, with a push to get HDex over various breaking points (125/150). Hardly any of it is plate only classes; you can use the helm, ears, rings, neck, ranged, primary, cloak, face, gloves, boots, arms, shoulders, wrists, legs, belt, and charm. Gloves and boots are the most important for monk, as kick/punch scales on total stats on those items. There is also an atk cap from items, so it's probably hitting that as well (it may be 850, but not 100% sure).
Here is my fully buffed monk/zerk/CLR stats still in mostly Velious gear (only ranged/arms are current), using similar BIS list from back then. Luclin stuff is mostly in the bag, waiting to be leveled up, but I only do 3 quick bosses with him, so doesn't get much xp.
As an aside, I tried to swarm tank VT with my SK/RoG/Wiz and that shit was murdering me before I could even get half way around the first floor. Dunno if DN would be better, even though it got nerfed. I am rather burnt out on XPing, but the huge Valentine bonus to XP is tick tick ticking away...

Yeah, the power of the Cleric, brings in tons more HP, AC and of course through the use of plate, even more of both.

MNK/BER/CLR should be built entirely on HDex, pretty much - same for any "white damage" build, really. I have no idea why that build is focusing on so many +heal items. You can get to the 200HDex breakpoint with Luclin gear as long as you use Palladius.

Maybe going all out for HDex sacrificed too much AC (HStr factors into this), resists, ATK, and/or accuracy.
You don’t need to focus on hdex solely. Get it to 125 (maybe 150 if you have bis gear) then focus on ac and atk. Atk cap is 750 (850 with AA that increases the atk cap). I can almost hit it now without avatar but I have a ton of rage augs (+15 per) and some Lego augs from Kera.

Do you have CA/CS maxed at 18? You're definitely doing something wrong with those stats.

All races have frontal stun immunity and most(all?)melee DPS get the rear/side stun immunity AA now.
Mitigation differences between classes really aren't as big as people make them out to be either. Sure, the difference between a warrior with a shield and a cloth wearer is big. But the mitigation gaps between something like a warrior and rogue isn't anything too crazy and only makes a difference for current expacs "end boss" content. And even then, you can usually overcome it a couple weeks in with BIS.

I’m trying a pure DD caster. Wiz/brd/ench. Idea was wiz for massive nuke, ench for bonus AA mana regen and some survival, bard for general buffing and plate options.
I was able to twinkle myself so leveling is kinda funny. Between spell power+symp strike it’s fairly easy. I am a bit worried on how I’ll be able to survive and take on high up bosses without help though. Maybe I’ll keep this guy in my back pocket for when groups matter more. So many mobs are resistant to stuff and other have douch levels of HP that I can’t burn quickly enough.
anyway. It’s fun to grab up an entire zone, shield with ench and then AE nuke them all down due to the buffs at low levels. I think long term white dmg will win at this game though

So took RNG/BRD/SK to VT, mind you hes not lv 60 yet, only 58, in the process of leveling him. And the sustain is off the charts. SK doing its work. At one time I had like 5-6 mobs on me and he held at 80%-100% HP all day long. Even fought the first boss, the rock dude that drops the key?
Anyway the DPS sucks. I dont know wtf is wrong with this dude. Sure im comparing him to my SK/ROG/SHM, but its all I got to compare to. Hes pretty well decked out with the latest fashions too. Even got the Luclin bow on him. Hes only missing the mask and one bracer which still need to be leveled. plus better rings and hes got 1300+ AA.
IDK, kinda dissapoint. Any help? I know im not hitting that 150 Hdex yet, but will with the leveled stuff for sure.
Here is a typical VT trash...
