Help w/ build: Unarmed Kensei with bow skills?

[MagicalDad]

So, I am in the midst of my Juggernaut life, but already looking forward to the next. I've done 2 AA lives (ranger and monk-cher) and an assassin life prior. I have quite a few nice handwraps and bows, so I was thinking of doing an unarmed kensei with some ranged dps for my fighter life. Thoughts? Comments? No UMD, but healing through Cleric Dilly.

The only thing to consider is that Monk8 gives you another 0.5W, so you need to weigh that against what Ranger gives you (Bow STR and Rapid Shot). If you're going to be using the bow a lot then I think Ranger is the better option, otherwise I'd look at the extra Monk levels.

The Cleric Dil is great for self-healing. So good that I've kept it even at endgame for now.

With a lower starting WIS and no tactics enhancements with Helf your Stunning Fist could be an issue unless you have decent gear and/or twists.

I like having ranged, and it's great at the end game. That's more of a flavor preference.

Yea, that's a bit of a concern. I'm looking at an ending wisdom of about 30, so @ 20

10 + 10 (1/2 levels) + 10 WIS + 6 (Legendary Tactics) + 10 Stunning + 5 E Spare Hand = 41

Not great, but useful in EH.
