LR Halfling Light Monk: Help me pls

[Morroiel]

I am going to Lesser Reincarnate my halfling light monk either today or tomorrow.
I need build posts/links please.

With the new changes coming with U7 I would like to be DPS but light Shintao monk for the damage reduction bypasses and party buffs. I need to be halfling as I cant switch my race in LR but I am 32 point build.

Thanks for any help!

BTW I have searched the forum but thought this was more appropriate given my situation.

I would consider Anthios's Rockan Robin build. Wisdom based finesse monk. I've got one to level 11 almost, and he has been fun to play for sure. It's all about stunning fists/unbalance and lightside buffs with him.

Level/tomes available would be nice, but hey.

Really(And I mean really) quick finesse build. Level 18 feat is pretty much open. Feats should also be changed around for leveling purposes(TWF at 6 is very, very bad), and I'll be fixing this build over the next 20 minutes.

As for the above build, it's a slight modification to make work: Drop dodge, get luck of heroes, be happy. It's also a better build than this, and is far more fleshed out, so I suggest it.

I have an almost identical situation to yours. In light (pun intended) of the
TOD nerf and the boost to Shintao I decided to stay light post U7.

The character only runs Shroud, ToD, and epics.


With these needs in mind this is what I did with my old 32-point dex/wis light monk: (basic layout, currently working on a proper post)

15 +2(tome) +5(level) +4(stance) +2(madstone) +2(rage pot) +6(stat) +1(ex) = 37
15
15 +3(tome for grandmaster earth)
8
14 +2(tome) +2(AP) +6(item) = 24
8

Starting wis/con/str may change slightly depending on tome acquisition.

A single madstone was included in the str calc as it is in effect most of the
time due to abandoning AC in favor of more dps.


Tumble – 1 rank
Balance – Max
Concentration – Max
Spot – Extra points as able

Toughness
Stunning Fist
Luck of Heroes
Power Attack
TWF
ITWF
GTWF
Toughness
Quick Draw (experimenting atm, might become another toughness or stunning blow)
IC: Bludgeon


Sun and Earth Grandmaster
Void IV
Shintao III
Fists of Iron
Ten Thousand Stars (experimenting)
