Monk light/light/light finisher does 1d4 healing every 2 character levels (not monk levels) so 10d4 at lv20
With +40% bard healing enhancements, 50% devotion/potency 1 item, and all 3 metamagics it will do
25*(1+0.4+0.9)*(1+1+0.5+0.5) = 142 HP of healing (against +0% healing amplification)

This character could have up to 328% healing amplification (although that might be overkill)
10% (monk)
30% (human enhancements)
25% insight bracers (new update 4 item)
10%x20%x30% GS
10% finger necklace
(1.1*1.3+0.1)*1.25*1.1*1.2*1.3 = 3.28

Light/light/light finisher on self could heal for 142*3.28 = 466 HP (more possible with 75% ardor clickies/pots )

Bard for the +40% healing enhancements, +75% scroll mastery, and 6 skill points/level
Warchanter for the +6 damage and DR5/- songs (although a level 20 warchanter can do +9 damage :[)
Rogue for open lock, disable device, search and sneak attack damage
Theif acrobat I for staff alacrity (7.5% IIRC)

I don't have a character builder on this computer so I may have made some mistakes, but what do you guys think?

I didn't know that it works like that but I really think that this is not intended and it will get changed to monk levels only at some point.

With +40% bard healing enhancements, 50% devotion/potency 1 item, and all 3 metamagics it will do
25*(1+0.4+0.9)*(1+1+0.5+0.5) = 142 HP of healing (against +0% healing amplification)

I think that metamagics, healing enhancments and devotion items each multiply like Healing amplifications but I might be wrong. I think therefore the calculation should be:
25*1.4*1.5*2*1.5*1.5 = 236

Some other comments:

You should concider going Monk 3/bard 10/rogue 7

Rogues get another 1d6 sneak attack damage at level 7, another +3 from enhancments and subtable Backstabbing II. I'm not up to date what bards get at level 11/10.

You could also concider to either fight unarmed (and grab the twf feats instead of thf) or go full twf. Rogues/rogue splashes profit a lot from going TWF/unarmed because they get the double number of attacks and therefore get x2 sneak attacks aswell.

25*1.4*1.5*2*1.5*1.5 = 236

Metamagics are additive, then the total thereof is multiplied in. So maximize, empower, and empower healing will result in a multiple of 3.

sadly, you cannot cross monk and bard

Ah. That would sure ruin this build lol.

You may be right, I thought they added but maybe they do multiply. Even better!

You could go 7 rogue and 10 bard and pick up sneak attack damage. You would lose the +75% wand/scroll mastery IV and the +9% healing crit chance from Bard Lyric of Song III (need 11 bard for both those) but it depends on playstyle I guess.

first this:

second: or you could roll a favsoul build as healbot, can do the same thing, just better

That's a good point. Unarmed could be better, more ki regen, more sneak attack damage, and more stun procs with weighted weps. Ya would have to get 17 dex for unarmed, whereas THF doesn't require any (although you could pick up some for skills and reflex saves). I guess it depends on if you have a 28pt or 36 pt build available to ya.

Oh bummer. I did not realize bards cannot be lawful. Good find. Bummer though :[

Not a bad idea. You could do 19 monk/1FvS or 18 monk/1 FvS/1x and pick up wind stance IV and 1st level spells for metamagic requirements. Basically be like a standard unarmed monk except you would crank out 100+HP AOE heals every so often.

Or you could go 3 monk/17 cleric like http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=235544

Basically the fact that the light/light/light finisher is based off character level and is multiplied by metamagics opens up a ton of options. Hmmmm.
