Some Caveats for the build:

ANY race works for this build. Optimal races would be assamir, human, elf (with racial aps, trade compeletionist for dmarks and get always on displacement), or helf (some wiggling of starting stats, take pally dil and get more saves, and human hamp). Horc would be another interesting race if you have max racial aps.

Level as a light monk until you hit 13 and can take t5 heshin, feat swap to dark monk then for shadows cannot exist without the light

you must follow the leveling order to keep your wis to hit and damage due to the weird half level stipulation.

Leveling order is also very important for feat selection. This build is very tight on feats and would love to have more :(.

Completionist is an optional feat, take whatever you want there. Precision is also slightly optional, I took it for the undead heavy content that we will be getting soon, in epics you should be able to get almost enough fort bypass using percision for normal crits on undead. Alternative options would be mobility or deflect arrows.

The upside is that with an enhanced ki robe, this build absolutely swims in ki, once I get that robe I can spam all of my major ki abilities constantly with no worries about running out

Make sure your dstrike buff is up when you use your shadows cannot exist without the light. Get your healing amp up as much as possible to heal as much as possible with it.

This build easily can have workable AC (currently have 70 at level 11)

Always run in water stance. Dodge is your friend, dodge is your life (41 dodge). Not to mention the extra wis and saves.


Stats of import are Wis, Dex, Con. In that order imo, Wis is for dcs, damage, will save, and ac. Dex for the ac and reflex save.

Let me know what you thing and if any improvements might be drawn!

******** Edit to add that I am a re-newbd player so I'm very unaware of where common breakpoints and other nuances of building right now. ********

I'm thinking of doing something similar, Currently have 12wiz/6rog/2ftr wraith acrobat that is fun but i think im gonna try 12/5/3 or 12/6/2 fvs monk rogue version, or maybe even a 14/6 or 15/3/2 cleric monk rogue.

When you mention DC's do you mean casting or monk skills. Going wisdom based can you reliably cast any DC spells or are the FVS levels simply for healing/utility/hp/wisdom to dmg? How about monk DC's?

Do you think the second level of rogue is necessary? I've got tomes so I'm thinking with monk levels I could get by with just 1 rogue level for skills, and get haste booste elsewhere. Monk has quick strike as well.
