Need some help with a build please

[P1rat3cat]

Hi
Have been thinking about a 32 point build, first lifer as i am changing servers, that could solo quite well (read do all traps and locks + dmg + avoidance ) to at least lvl 20. After that i might TR.

Since the new enhancement system, and as i am back after over 1 year out of ddo, i feel a bit confused about everything.

Please critique my build, point out the holes on it or better choices i could do to play mostly solo but in groups as well.

I tried to keep it a dex bases build using short swords (using dex to dmg) enhancements, have good sneak attacks in groups or with deception (?) items, fighter lvls to help get grandmaster of forms.

So here it is my try:

Patience, grasshopper. Next time don't post your build on a major American holiday if you want prompt feedback. :cool:

A few comments:

Stunning Fist is still handwraps-only, I think; Quivering Palm works w/weapons, but you don't get that until monk 15. And unfortunately, there's no way to get DEX-to-unarmed-dmg AFAIK. :(
Master of Forms is auto-granted at monk lvl 12, so no need to use a feat for it (builder's a bit bugged tho).
Diamond Soul doesn't stack w/drow SR, AFAIK, so it's pointless to take it. I'd either stop at monk 12 or push it to at least 15 for QP.
If you want DEX-to-dmg with short swords, you don't need Finesse; that already comes from being a centered Ninja.
