LR Halfling Light Monk: Help me pls

[Morroiel]

I am going to Lesser Reincarnate my halfling light monk either today or tomorrow.
I need build posts/links please.

With the new changes coming with U7 I would like to be DPS but light Shintao monk for the damage reduction bypasses and party buffs. I need to be halfling as I cant switch my race in LR but I am 32 point build.

Thanks for any help!

BTW I have searched the forum but thought this was more appropriate given my situation.

I would consider Anthios's Rockan Robin (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=210181) build. Wisdom based finesse monk. I've got one to level 11 almost, and he has been fun to play for sure. It's all about stunning fists/unbalance and lightside buffs with him.

Level/tomes available would be nice, but hey.

Really(And I mean really) quick finesse build. Level 18 feat is pretty much open. Feats should also be changed around for leveling purposes(TWF at 6 is very, very bad), and I'll be fixing this build over the next 20 minutes.

As for the above build, it's a slight modification to make work: Drop dodge, get luck of heroes, be happy. It's also a better build than this, and is far more fleshed out, so I suggest it.

I have an almost identical situation to yours. In light (pun intended) of the
TOD nerf and the boost to Shintao I decided to stay light post U7.

The character only runs Shroud, ToD, and epics.


With these needs in mind this is what I did with my old 32-point dex/wis light monk: (basic layout, currently working on a proper post)

15 +2(tome) +5(level) +4(stance) +2(madstone) +2(rage pot) +6(stat) +1(ex) = 37
15
15 +3(tome for grandmaster earth)
8
14 +2(tome) +2(AP) +6(item) = 24
8

Starting wis/con/str may change slightly depending on tome acquisition.

A single madstone was included in the str calc as it is in effect most of the
time due to abandoning AC in favor of more dps.


Tumble – 1 rank
Balance – Max
Concentration – Max
Spot – Extra points as able

Toughness
Stunning Fist
Luck of Heroes

Quick Draw (experimenting atm, might become another toughness or stunning blow)
