Monk Greensteel Options

[zombieaon]

Lately I have been running shrouds collecting mats for my greensteel item on my monk. I am in a predicament. I cannot for the life of me decide what to craft. I have talked a good amount with guildmates about it but still cannot decide on what would be best.

My sad monk is here: http://my.ddo.com/character/ghallanda/zombqi/

My biggest issue is the greensteel slot.

I first thought about GS Min II helm, getting +5 prot, 2/day stoneskin clicky, 100% fort and +45 hp. My issue with this is, although I will be freeing up my cloak slot, I am essentially losing +20hp off of Minos and stoneskin is not going to do me a whole lot of good.

Guder and I talked about the GS helm and he suggested perhaps a concordant op hp item in the cloak slot instead. This will give HP regen, +6 wisdom, haggle, etc. That is a great idea considering there is hardly any loot that will replace that slot, and will use less mats. But, I will be planning on using my ring slot from ToD for +6 wis, so this seems like a bit of a waste as well.

Then, I had the idea of crafting a GS Aspect of Radiance II belt for +45 hp, 4d6 damage proc + blindness. Then out goes the idea of Knost's Belt (GFL) and an epic grind for GFL on an augmented slot on Spectral Gloves...

I still cannot decide. Hopefully someone here will help me correct any errors I may've made in GS planning...or help me with deciding what is ultimately best for my build.

Thanks,
zombi

Well, If you’re thinking level 20 you could always go try your luck at getting the Epic Belt of the Mroronian and adding Greater False Life to it. That’ll clear up your helmet slot real fast.

Personally, I would consider an Earth III Cloak. +45 HP, +6 CON Skills, Summon BFF, Earthgrab guard.

Soo close to that belt, just need the shard, but it won't drop for me >.< Even thought the heavy fort will be on the belt as well I went with a mineral II cloak for the HP/ +5 AC, and I only use the stoneskin clickies when running epic but w/e. Once I get the belt I'm thinking of a lightning strike somethin or another
