    Default Monk Reroll(32pt build)

    Posting this because I would like to know how I can improve it. Also, just HOW important is having 'master' in any of the stances but air(IE: Will the finisher be better with higher tierd attacks? - Or longer lasting? I see no effect with my 28 pt build monk now between the effect / duration of my fire/water/wind finishers between now and when I first got each stance)

    Obviously this build is not considering gear, just raw char data.

    So monkletmasters, give me some build advice. (Dropping int/cha by 2 each to raise str by 2? is the loss of skill points worth the ability to take master of flames?)

    I think Thougness is better choice than Diehard. So you can also get some HP with enhancements. It would be good to get some healing amplification enhancements too. If you don't plan to give skill points to UMD, CHA is a useless stat.

    No there are no differences in the finishers depending on the tier you get. I would say air and mountain stances are the most important to get to tier 4, since lightning works on most mobs in the game, and mountain gives straight up additional damage per attack.

    In the update, tier 4 damage will be 2d20, whereas tier 3 will be 2d10.

    That being said, I'm going with a balanced build that will get tier 4 in each stance, since each stance can be useful, depending on the situation, and I like to stance dance.

    Having 16 in all 4 stats; str, dex, con and wis, you can easily get your dex up to 30 from a 16 base.

    Halfling/Elf:
    Str: 16 +2 tome + 6 item = 24 Str
    Dex: 16 +2 tome + 6 item + 2 enhancement + 4 wind stance = 30 Dex
    Con: 16 +2 tome + 6 item -2 wind stance = 22 Con
    Wis: 16 +3 tome + 6 item + 3 monk enhancement + 2 Ring = 30 Wis

    Edit: here's the human build, pretty much the same except for a +3 dex tome needed instead of +3 wisdom.

    Human:
    Str: 16 +2 tome +6 item = 24 Str
    Dex: 16 +3 tome +6 item +1 human enhancement +4 wind stance = 30 Dex
    Con: 16 +2 tome +6 item -2 wind = 22 Con
    Wis: 16 +2 tome +6 item +1 human enhancement +3 monk enhancement +2 ring = 30 Wis

    So I need to trim it down some to get 16 con (18 after the tome)...

    can do but having 8 int is a pain in the arse(3 skill points per lv SUCKS) with base 10, by lv 7 im getting 5 per lv(which is enough to keep concentrate maxed and the other 'important' skills high enough to manage)

    Is this a better build?

    Well you don't necessarily need to start with 16 in each of those, you do get stat points at 4,8,12,16 and 20. You can't pick up the 4th tier of any stance until level 18, and you only need a 16 for tier 3.
