Bit of how the build would function is a ranged DPS with a high stunning fist and stunning blow, as well as a high trip dc to use in wolf form

Also ED would be: (Replace Improved Power Attack with 2 more action boosts)

With Rejuvenation Cocoon, Enlightenment and Pin for my Twists of Fate

I'm not sure why you're splashing druid, but I would go for rgr 11 / monk 6 / druid 3 to pick up Fatal Harrier.

Splashing druid for the wolf form, movement speed and less items needed (No need for wraps) also what areas in enhancements would i have to sacrifice for harrier?

[unbongwah]

3 APs into human for Dmg Boost & 10% heal amp, 11 APs into Ninja for Shadow Form, 13 APs into Shintao (Deft Strikes & Iron Skin), 13 APs into NW for Fatal Harrier, 36 APs into AA or DWS (I prefer AA on monkchers), leaving 4 APs to tweak things.

[Alfhild]

On my first life as a monkcher I took Stunning Fist. On subsequent ones I dropped it. I personally found too few times where I used it though your mileage may vary.

Interesting, and thou i prefer deepwood for a monkcher AP's are easy to tweak, ill look into the build some time to see if its worth 13 AP for 5% attack speed (Haste pots 20% and 15% constant)

well there is a period of 40 seconds per 2 minutes where melee is more effective dps on a monkcher, so thats 1/3 of the time as a melee, while meleeing the stuns help reduce damage taken and amplify damage dealt. I use it during this time or against single mobs to burst them down real quick without wasting my 10k or manyshot cooldowns.

[Alfhild]

Lower WIS to 16 and transfer the 6 points to Dex to 15 (21 with tomes). Then drop Mobility and replace with Empowered Healing so you can take Combat Archery at 24?

Edit: just noticed you do not have Point Blank Shot. I would drop both GM forms and Mobility to get PBS and CA. The extra +2[w] gives far more DPS than the loss of 3 WIS.

[unbongwah]

ill look into the build some time to see if its worth 13 AP for 5% attack speed (Haste pots 20% and 15% constant)
Haste is 15%, Pinion has Ranged Alacrity 20%, max Fatal Harrier is 25%. So it would be +5% with Pinion, +10% with TF or other named longbows.

Also I agree with Alfhild: you should rejigger your stats and feats to add PBS+Combat Archery; +2[W] is an avg of +14 dmg with Pinion, +9 dmg with TF bows.
