Anyway there should be some type of amulets for elemental resist or armor for monks...

Monk hydras have very good resists. Massive hp plus 4-5 greater protection ammy is one of the best non spell resists you can get. With some resists scrolls your nearly invincible to spells.

Also, the last time I checked raks using weapons as good as their claws is a bug. And I suspect it will be fixed one of these years.
Pointless to wear now, but perhaps not in the future when armor is fixed. Most of these balance issues it seems are coming from bugs that R already knows of.
Also, it turns out that wrist wraps actually give protection, not armor. Though not a lot of protection admittedly, there is still some. So they do accomplish something.

1. Monks lose -5 elements and arts while giving nothing, caveman on the other hand lose -10 but gives +100% hp bonus. Bottom line is caveman can still easily use full heal.
2. Raks using weapon as good as their claws is not a bug, its because their claws suck. Make a claw rak, axeman, blunt user, sword user, and magic whipper and compare the damage to raks. Raks are nothing special.
3. Pointless now, even more pointless in future. If armor gets fixed its even more pointless to be a monk. Think of all the other guilds with their heavy armor and monks with their cloth.
4. wrist wraps are the same bracers. +1 protection to all damage
