I have a lot of builds so getting any one of them fully equipped is a gind. Even though this is not really an AC build per se, I plan to get a GS insight item to put beholder AC at 47/48.

You'll get better results by switching the 7 levels of monk to at least 6 levels of rogue (for the acrobat insane staff attack speed + back stab) and switching the 1 level of ranger to monk. 12 ftr/6rogue/1monk (one level left for you to play with. either 1 monk for a feat or 1 rogue for back stab). However it's still not as much DPS as 19 rogue/1 monk. You just can't make up for that back stab damage.

I can't figure out what ranger adds to this build. Seems like rogue 1 or monk 8 makes more sense.

Probably wand usage

I have a similar concept here.

I took acrobat for the attack speed and UMD. HP suffers a little, but I make up for it in SA damage, potential AC, and a few tactics.

Actually you can make up for SA damage. One of several big advantages of monk strikes is the earth finisher which gives +x2 crit multiplier. SA is not multiplied by crits. The Fighter/monk will have comparable dps to the 19r/1m if the fighter version uses stunning blow. When the character takes any aggro the fighter version far out dps's the rogue version.

The 12f/6r/1m you listed above is very good and a solid way to go, and should be listed as one of the better potential staff builds. However I personally like the additional support features that the monk lvls give. Monk also makes soloing and shortmanning much easier. The one lvl of ranger gives the wand support that the rogue UMD would have provided as well as dps against many high lvl targets.

The additional attack speed from acro II is nice but I dont feel the extra boost beyond acro I is worth the sacrifices. In order to get the additional damage from SA requires a very modified play style from a dps dealer. If modifying a normal 2hf dps fighting style to get SA damage, then the most should be gotten out of that more roguish style. 2wf gets more out of 'rogue fighting' than QS. Even with the SA on a Staff, the Kensei is very comparable in dps. If the rogue does not have aggro the Kensei does incrementally more damage.

Uncanny dodge on this build does not really give an AC advantage. The fighter version could take the AC action boost to offset the AC discrepancy if so inclined.

Both builds use stunning blow but the fighter will do it better and get more out of it since SA is not multiplied by crits.

That being said, I like that you used a dwarf on your Acro build. It offsets a lot of the issues I have with so many rogue lvls.
