guard monk

[twoton]

WF monk earth stance.

hp 642

ac: pretty worthless for a monk think low to mid 30's at best. The point is to get hit.

all the monk and WF imporved healing. to make the most of fist of light.

use Q-staffs

feats: THF, ITHF, GTHF, PA, IC, toughness x5

guards: desinegration guard, crushing wave guard, corrosive salt guard, greater disruption guard, lightning storm guard.

With 8 dr unpassable and 10 dr epic

with getting hit to generate ki and hitting to generate ki should be able to spam fist of light and the finisher.

anyways thoughts? commits? and yes yes I know this will take way to much time and effort but could be worth while.

[Asketes]

the dr from wf doesn't stack w/ the epic dr (from what I can tell)

I understand some toughness feats, but 6? why not improved critical bludgeoning?

what are your stats going to look like?

[twoton]

thanks for seeing that I left out that feat and not taking WF dr just earth stance dr and cap monk dr

If you want to put so much time into all those Guards, why not go Master of Resists?

With the proper animal path and GS, you can get a natural 53 resist to all elements but sonic.

thats a good ideal. could you explain more on how I would go about doing that?

[twoton]

I am thinking of putting steam on his green steel Q-staff as well.

Forget the name of the Path, but grants 8 Resists to Elements.

With four T3 GS items, crafted for the resists, you can end up with 53 natural resist to all but Sonic - that will stay at 8.

That IS a ton of crafting, but ****, 53 natural resists is nothing to sneeze at. Talk about survivability!

If only he'd be able to make anything attack him...

Possibly interesting (and absurdly expensive) concept to try solo, completely useless otherwise.

Maybe try again with a build that includes Intimidate?

[twoton]

well we will see how it works out he wont have bad dps for sure granted it wont be elite dps either.

Im not saying this build wouldnt be better as a multiclass build because it probably would be. I am just a pureist when it comes to monks.

Yes taking first lvl ftr and going 19 monk would propably make for a better build since I could make intimadate but I just didnt want to do that
