I posted this build because this is the build I am now using and I feel really good about it, has good damage, doable ac, and rocks on epics and raids, he tanks sully with ease and has even tanked horoth when there was no barbarian to be found. I also ate a +4 tome in my personal build but did not include it in the posted build because well, +4 tomes are rare. It offers a good attack score and enough strength to have critical's consistently in the high 80s-100 without earth strike or earth finisher. I just want to note that this is a build thats going to take a lot of gear and advanced knowledge of the class. So this is not a build for beginners but rather a little guide for some people who maybe are wondering what to do for a TR, or has a TR human monk now, and wondering about a lesser reincarnation. I know this is gonna receive a lot of bashing like my last build, so i expect the usual suspects to come out. So feel free to bash it all day long! :) Here is the build itself, followed up by gear choices, stat breakdown, and ac breakdowns that make the build work. Have fun!
