Thinking 20 monk or 12 fighter/8 monk godhand build.
Looking for a build that can:
*Frontline well(not necessarily tank raids, but dungeons)
*Pull big damage
*High hitpoints, high heal amp
*UMD to heal/recon scroll myself

Thinking 20 monk or 12 fighter/8 monk godhand build.

only thing i can say to this if your going for ability to heal scroll self, the easiest way to do so is go Half-Elf and take cleric dilly otherwise on either of those builds umd would not be enough to no fail even with umd gear though you could prolly get up to a 80% or so
I'd probably go monk.
I'd recommend half-elf 20 monk with grandmaster air and earth stance (best dps stance and best trash stance), cleric dilly for 95% heal scrolls, >500 hp (don't really need more unless you're a tank...in which case you can get more), and very nice damage. 16 16 16 8 14 8 stat spread, all level-ups into str, should see mid-40s str or higher all the time.
And definitely grab the monk past life as well as improved sunder...and if you want dps/survivability, make sure to go dark monk: shadow fade + ToD = win.
My past lives were a human dex based dark monk whom was in air stance, and a half-elf str based light monk whom was in fire stance.
I was initially thinking a WF monk or godhand, but upon realizing healing amp doesn't work with repair spells and lack of self healing in a WF build, I'll likely go with a half-elf cleric dilletante again.
Both TERRIBLE builds. You know you're tired of monk, ditch it and make a caster!Quote:

This is an old build of mine. I since tr'd into something I like quite a bit better, but regardless, it worked very well. Had 3 pl monk when I made this. Since making it, I have seen a boatload of 12monk, 6-7 ftr/pally/rng, 1-2 ftr/rog variations. All are good im sure. If you are getting tired of pure monk, Id suggest checking some of these out. My current build is 12monk/6rog/2ftr. I can hit 106 ac self/shipbuffed, got 520hp shipbuffed, 50 dex, attack faster than anything ive ever seen so far, and my biggest crit was 344.... with a stick. Planning on posting it when I complete one more item, and upgrade with tokens one more. The 12 monk base multiclass char is awesome for tons of reasons. Just an idea, because with 2 past lives in monk, its a shame to waste the unarmed damage feat.
This, with a few personnal points :Quote:

Not to mention the survivability of dr10+earth stance 4+shadow fade+blur (mabar cloak or ring of the stalker)
- That one works for splashes and pure (dark) monks : take the 2nd fire stance to get 2 fire moves, get thaarak wraps, and now in a lot of content quickly load up the fire-dark-fire finisher -> imp. sunder the mob -> unleash finisher -> enjoy!
Edit: for the stats proposed in the quoted post, it's a good one. I went with 14 dex (+3 tome) and 16 wis instead, but that prevents the use of air stance 4.
