Dex Dump-ish Tempest/Monk Your Thoughts

[Feralthyrtiaq]

Heyall!

Considering a 3rd life for Mokune

PL Fighter
PL Monk

Thinking of a Max Str, Wis, Con, Remaining in Dex (to avoid negative modifiers) Tempest III with Zen Archery and WSS

Already have GS Longswords, and GS gear, LITII bow is really close on the horizon.

Probably something along the lines of 2Monk/18Ranger, Elf for Racial L-Sword/L-Bow Enh

Reflex Saves Might be a little lower but can boost with Water Stance when needed.

Prolly fisticuff melee most stuff till around level 8ish or so.

Not looking to "Tank" anything.

Want to maintain stance when using ranged then swap to melee.

NOT looking for Epic Viability or perfect min/max.

And I have a moderate amount of expertise in game mechanics.

Any ideas, thotts, criticisms, tips etc? Not "exactly" a total flavor build but do like some flavor.

dump stat wis, dex a min of 13 or 14, max str and con.
i suggest going for tempest II and 7/8 monk. it gives you 2d6/+8 dmg strikes which is alot with tempest II. switch aroud, ice giant, use fire strike. if you do this, the minimum of each of your stats should be around 14. i wanted to post this exact build, but im too lazy and you got there before me :D IMO, you really dont need tempest double striking. if you want to double strike, use wind stance.

always use fire stance. + to ki which means you can spam finishers-light or dark, and healing amp. 14 wis for a ranger is enough to heal yourself like crazy.

this would turn out to be a tempest pheonix tho :( but WAAY better DPS.
gl :D
