Also, tried out the monk class (I like hand-to-hand user posted image)
Monks are awesome, and they aren't all that common in comparison to some of the other classes. They also get feign death later on, hehe.

I read somewhere that when you do the betrayal quest to change to the other faction that you get to rechoose your class, or at least change into one avaliable.. So I thought if that was possible, I could get a Dark Elf to become a monk by doing that quest.
Unless they changed that aspect of the quest, you will keep your class if it exists as a class in Qeynos (such as guardian, fury, etc.). If it is a Freeport-only class such as a bruiser, I am pretty sure that you will become the Qeynos equivalent (monk). I'd recommend that you check with someone else first though, for I haven't actually tried the betrayal quest (and I think they made some recent changes to it).
And yep, you should be able to make a dark elf monk that way.
