Str or Dex for Dark Monk?

[noisel]

Should i go Str based or Dex based for Dark Monk? I want to go Halfling.

Do you want to hit a little harder or get hit a little less (and spend an extra Feat)? It really doesn't matter that much.

I see alot of people suggest Str build for Dark Monks. This is because Dark are alot more damage centric, whereas light tend to do good damage but are more party buff centric.

With that being said, I finally did break down and go dark with one of my Monks, but I kept hime Dex/Wis based.

Hey you can go either way (much like Lady Gaga). I've got both kinds a halfling dex/wis based stunning machine which I really love. Not a lot of dps outside of ToD but with the ability to pretty much auto stun anything that is stunnable, she works great and the ac and saves make her very survivable. My other is a WF str based with a bit of balance for wis and con. His stuns aren't as good but at endgame he still has a respectable 39 now that WF tactics are adding to stunning properly. His DPS is great and what he gives up on AC he more than makes up with hp.

Basically, either will work well. It just depends on your play style.
