8mnk/12ftr build

[ragwa1]

I figured I would do a str based human kensai II monk: unarmed.

So far i'm at 8mnk/5ftr, and honestly, compared to any other builds ive done, this one is tearing stuff up

Stats with gear and wind stance are: str26 dex24 con16 int8 wis18 cha12.

Been using a +4 holy handwrap for most everything so far, and switch to other wraps depending on the siuation as is normal.
Been rotating between stun blow/stun fist and trip as I bash things around.
Hp pool is quite large: 288 with gear at lvl 13.

So, on the question:

I have not used any tomes and I was wondering is the +2 supream more viable than just choosing one or two stats to tome on?
Second question:
I'm not a wiz at math and I'm kind of wondering what a good estimate for my end game hp with gear will be?
I was thinking around 500-600 depending on gear.

Am I correct in this assumption?

My purpose when planning this build was fast high dps, using stuns for crits on low-mid str mobs.

Third question:
Since I am not fully capped and still have room to change things around, would it be better to go 12mnk/8ftr?
Would that be better dps? or less with more survival than the 8mnk/12ftr?
The fighter stun/trip dcs seem quite useful for stunning/tripping mobs that you normally cant.
Yet this isnt a max wis monk build, so I dont see taking 12mnk being as useful for what I'm planning.

Guess I'm just second guessing myself before I get too far ahead in lvls.

A few people have looked into this, there's a few 12ftr/8mnk builds floating around (The Godhand, and a Rockan Robin variant). Apparently, the benefits for Kensai II outweigh what you're getting from monk 12. The Godhand author states that the 8mnk/12ftr combo results in the fastest actual attack speed attainable in game currently, and I haven't yet seen anyone contradict this notion.

Then I suppose, I have my answer.

Thank you sir, I just wasn't sure

Does "weapon spec: bludgeoning" and "weapon focus: bludgeoning" useful with unarmed combat or they're not applicable?

Yes they work with unarmed.
