Proposal; M9 Monk Intimidate Build

[Inspire]

Prologue:

Ive been thinking lately on how to take advantage of the grazing blows system, and while discussing different types of healing amplification along with the reduced percentage(4% every 4 levels) of grazing blow damage that monks get, I thought I would design a new Intimitank build. I think this build speaks for itself in terms of; self healing, armor class, saves, intimidate, survivability and other perks so I will leave those alone for now. Please note that I have used very few +3 tomes on this build's stat layout and in the breakdowns, my thought is that these tomes will be easily aquired in M9 and this build will be viable to almost any player. Obviously, aquiring new +3/4 stats tomes will free up AP to be spent elsewhere.

The class split I chose was 12Monk/ 6Paladin/ 2Fighter.

Without further adieu, I present to you, Isolate;

Ive played around with the enhancements on this build more times than I care to count and have come up with my personal favorite selection. I will post those at a later date and remove this text when I do.

It looks like a wicked build. 12/6/2 multiclassed characters seem to be the natural progression of the meta-game atm.

[bigjenkie]

I love this build. Only problems are I haven't unlocked 32 pt. builds, and I only have access to 1 point tomes. I have unlocked Drow, but I suspect that this build works much better as a human. I was thinking I could drop Dex to 15 and pray for a +2 dex tome by level 9. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I think this is exactly the build I was looking for. I love my monk but wish he could intimidate. I want to tank but don't want to sacrifice all of my DPS to do it. I've been looking at mixing monk with paladin or fighter but can't decide which way to go. This is a very nice mix between. Thanks for putting this together!
