It may too late because you have probably already started your human monk(I assume)
But i love my iksar monk i have not even left kunark and i am a 36th almost 37th iksar monk
The loot in dalnirs for example is fantastic for a monk and the crescent armour in lev 2 and 3 of dalnirs is great no drop monk only
And the fighting batons from the lumpy goo is great dam 8 del 20 and other nice loot
I would advise you to keep your iksar monk
I can still get exp at 36th from most of the first lev stuff.
One word of caution almost everything there is a caster,
So be prepared
You can always work on faction later
