Unbreakable

[binnsr]

I started a pure monk when they came out, but he stalled out at lvl8. I found that I needed something more than the monk class was giving me to retain my interest level in the build.. Eladrins comments in Illuminati's Fuji thread sparked the build here.

With that, I give you: Unbreakable.. Spring Attack, gTWF, Improved Evasion, full trap abilities, 58 Beholder AC (61 with the Chattering Ring) - 79 potential, 32 intimidate (47 with intimidate ring), 39 UMD, 300 hp, 19/30/19 Beholder saves and a Very Potent Offense via gTWF, Adept of Wind, Tempest and Rogue Haste Boost I

Update 1/2/09 - PreMod 9 update. Brizavin has really outdone even my expectations of her. She's fast .. very fast! both at running and attacking. At stat-damaging and vorpalling, she's nearly unparalleled and I'm in the process of building out a pair of Lightning II kamas for her (holy/acid-burst/(+4AC and 30% healing amp)) that should be done in the next couple of weeks to augment her DPS for Raid Bosses. I'll include the +4AC in the below updates as that one will be done the next time I go into the shroud with her.

Pros:
- Awesome AC
- Great Saves
- Improved Evasion!
- Incredible Attack Speeds - Haste + Tempest I + Adept of Wind + Rogue Haste Boost I combined with gTWF will be incredible..
- Decent Intimidate - not in the 50s, but not bad.. Note1: I switched SF: Intimidate to SF: UMD and stopped wearing an intimidate hat in favor of an easier equipment set and the hit points from Minos Legens. The current +32 is usually enough to get most trash mobs that I need to get and even with an item, I wouldn't have enough to reliably intimidate the end-game raid bosses.
- Built-In Disease Immunity - Frees up a slot
- Poison Immunity at Lvl18
- doesn't really have a weak zone for leveling even though the builds potential really comes together after Lvl13..

Cons:
- Gear Intensive - have fun farming 3 Items from the Titan and the Icy Vestments..
- Hit Points are a bit low, but at least they're around 300 and given the positives on this build, this shouldn't be much of an issue ..
- Attack and Damage are low - but then, with a good AC, good saves and Improved Evasion, it'll just take a bit of time to whittle them down.
- Limited to Kamas for weapon choices - I recommend finding a pair of weakening kamas of enfeebling, or pair a cursespewing kama of shattermantle with a weakening kama of enfeebling
- Low Concentration .. just not enough skill points to keep the rogue skills up and maintain a great concentration.
- Real DPS comes from shroud kamas .. this is an unfortunate fact of life for monks in most cases. I'm currently in the process of building a pair of Lightning II kamas.
