Drunker - 9mnk/9drd/2ftr

[Alimai]

I have been asked to share my build by a few people.
It's not entirely complete, just a basic guideline as
I am still testing the build. I have been testing both
light and dark. Both have their pro's/con's.
I have found that in this build ToD is far to expensive
AP wise.

Right now my gear is changing around a lot.
So I won't be posting it.

If you have further questions, drop me a line.
Otherwise feel free to comment below.
I am always down for talking about builds.

Happy Adventuring!

I pretty much ran this 1-18 last life (except I went for non-form fists, whirlwind, twin stuns and max healing amp).

It is a great survivable and fun build, reaving roar is very very nice. Wear lv frozen tunic until you get something awesome - really compliments the build.

How are you finding it in epic levels?

[Alimai]

Devours Epic Hard, great DPS for EE.
When I get blitz rolling and stuns, it's pretty
powerful.
5k crits with handwraps is just absurd.

[Tallyn]

How important is the multiple Natural Fighting feats that you selected?

How important do you find past lives in this build... is this something you think could be fairly good/successful in a first lifer?

You are Legendary Dreadnaught, but what twists do you find most important for the build?

How critical is Fighter in your opinion... how much damage would be sacrificed going 2 Paladin instead of 2 Fighter, to make it even more survivable for EE?



Curious, it looks neat.. with Epic Gianthold out right now, I can see not wanting to go into gear layout until you find one you are fairly comfortable with.

[Alimai]

2 ftr is for more feats. Idk if I would want to do this
build w.o all 3 natural fighting. The number of hits is
already a bit lower than non animal form TWF.

2pld would mean you need cha stat also, animal forms
reduce int and cha. Making another stat needed would
be pretty tough to build in.

I have been able to tank bosses on EH, but new EE the
content just hits to hard in melee.

[DarkSable]

Why a 9/9/2 split? It seems like you would gain HUGE benefits in either direction by going 12/6/2 or 6/12/2.

You need 9 Druid for access to Natural Fighting feats and 9 Monk gives you access to Touch of Death and Improved Evasion.

Natural Fighting - that's what I missed seeing.

Thank you for sating my curiosity.

Need to be lawful good for paladin and Partly neutral for druid.

i see a problem here

[Tallyn]

Argh, forgot about the Druids alignment restriction. Thanks!

[Pilgrim1]

half elf pally might be an answer, lose a feet from human or 3d6 SA from rogue.

question: stunning fist is amazing, how much dps do you think you would lose if you put more effort into getting to the 60+ DC needed for EE?

Do you have videos or screen shots showing your powers, if your on cannith i would love to run some epics with you - im very curious to see this build in action.

[emptysands]

You need 9 Druid for access to Natural Fighting feats and 9 Monk gives you access to Touch of Death and Improved Evasion.

Also gives you +.5[w], essentially .5[1d10] in Winter Wolf form and additional movement speed boost.

I've been considering dropping Touch of Death on my 992.

It's pretty much impossible to get a decent DC (fort vs 10 + Monk level + wisdom). So that means 250 (or 250 * 1.5 if stunned) per ToD. Taking Improved Sunder may help this on bosses.

Self-Healing vs SP pool can also be a challenge. Also there is no real big burst self-heal. Sleet Storm is your friend.

My build order was slightly different:

HE: 1 monk, 2 Druid, 3 Monk, 4-11 Druid, 12-13 Fighter, 14-20 Monk
36pt: 16/14/16/8/16/8
1. Toughness, Power Attack;
3. Cleave, Stunning Fist;
6. Maximise;
9. Quicken;
12f. Natural Fighting, IC: B;
13f. Great Cleave;
15. Natural Fighting;
17m. Dodge;
18. Natural Fighting;
21. OC ;
24. PL: Monk or Improved Sunder or Precision or Empowered Healing

I'm guessing Two Weapon Fighting doesn't work when shapeshifted into animal form?

[Daemoneyes]

I'm guessing Two Weapon Fighting doesn't work when shapeshifted into animal form?

it should reduce the to hit penalty you get for using 2 weapons but it does not give you more attacks

[Alimai]

TWF doesn't function with animal form.
I have about a 55 DC on stunning fist.
It's half character level now, not monk based at all.
on EE even w.o stunning the DPS just rips through the mobs.
100+dmg on non crits, non stuns with HW is pretty sickening.

For trash: (neg level and stun able)
Grave wraps

For boss:neg level immune)
+4 Shrieking of the Crusader w Icy Burst
Endless Light wraps

Those more or less take care of everything.
If I ever get ****apodes, I'll test them as well.
