Sup guys
I browsed the forums for a dps staff build... problem: so many of them!
I'm looking for a BF (easy recon) full STR dps build, that will use Sireth
Only class split elude me
1) full rogue/ monk
2) rog13/monk6/druid1 or fig1
3) monk12/rog6/druid1 or fig1
4) rogue with more monk
5) monk with figther
If you guys have an end game build to propose, it will be mostly appreciated!
This would be a 4th life, i'm VIP so all class, all races, plus PDK and BF, +5 tomes all across
Thanks!

I have personally been playing Zeus (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/435435-Zeus-God-of-Thunder-and-Lightning?highlight=zeus) and really enjoy it. :)

+ Because of Pali levels, you get a little larger SP Pool for recon. Not to mention other benefits listed in thread.

I'll look it up...
Currently playing a fig12/monk6/pal2... damage is good, saves also... using ESoS... Wanted to try out a staff build for years, and if it compare to this build, all the better!
Thanks man...

Rogues are better for staves than monks, due to the quickstrike cooldown and 15% extra attack speed. However, 3 levels of monk allows you to get Ninja Poison which is quite nice when coupled with sireth, as is fists of iron (11-20/x4, I believe sireth becomes)
So while the Zeus build is nice, if you're looking for absolute maxed dps you do need more than 2 monk. Oh and don't forget venomed blades from assassin. Always nice to have just a touch more poison damage.
I remember Zoda posted a staff build kinda like what I described, but his was helf.
So basically, if you're wanting to go through with it you might be best with a 12 Rogue 6 Monk 2 Paladin Bladeforged build. If you do it right, you might end up with about 70 strength, though that's quite a stretch for most normal people.
Things you want: Quickstrike, Staff Specialization, Power of the Forge, Haste boost, Ninja Poison, Divine Might.
Suggestions: Doublestrike is a big draw of the staff builds, so Ultimate Wind Stance actually is really nice. Faster attack speed=More dps, and for THF nothing attacks faster than a rogue with a staff.
The rest really isn't all that bad. The Shadowscale docent with the sneak attack damage is nice, but the black armour still reigns supreme for such a build. However, I would say the Dragon Masque is a much nicer helm than the black helm+set bonus.
Just my $.45.

I like the 6 levels of monk on my other toon, but since iconic take forever to TR, don't want to mess it up.
I do have a blackdragon docent and helm combo... but it's only gear! I just want to pin down class split...

Ninja Poison does not work with Sireth since even though Sireth is piercing/slash, its still a q-staff and Ninja Poison regards it as blunt.
