Interesting, as fighter is generally regarded as a much more passive class, especially in comparison to a monk... So in what way did you find the fighter more intruiging?

Big hits for sure, two handed sword doing 70sh hit on regular attack is really satisfying, Also I can use him much more offensively and still be relatively safe while when I played monk I was constantly pulling out of fights. Fighter just stay here whole fight taking punishment and dishing it to others. He is always my last man standing

You should have given Veteran's Recovery to the monk and give him an equal item setup. If you do this, he will have the same sturdyness while dishing out more damage and more CC.

But I agree that playing a dps fighter with a two hander can be satisfying - I like Charge a lot, but sadly you need to level a lot to get it.

My first playthrough was on vanila, so no Veteran's Recovery for him, aslo I dont like idea of monk in full plate

So... you compared the survivability of a fighter in heavy armor with a monk's in light armor? That's a bit like complaining that a fighter in light armor is less sturdy than a fighter in heavy armor.

 

By the way: one of the best plate armors in the game (He Carries Many Scars) is an armor that was made for a monk (see description). So in PoE lore it's not weird that monks wear heavy armor.
