Only 4 TR'S to go This is what im building A Monk

[EKKM]

I would get Sneak of Shadow anyway. It may only have three uses but there are a couple of things you can do to heavily mitigate this:

......................

2 - REST SHRINE FREQUENTLY - I was able to solo Misery's Peak because they had Rest Shrines all over the place. This was true with even a Wizard. So, use up the sneak, shrine, rinse and repeat.

?? wat ?? u where able to solo misry peek solo?? shr plz!!

joking - I get the point you are tying to make that 3 minutes of clicky is probably more than it seems with shrines and using primarily in boss or important fights, I just thought the misery's peak example was a little funny when taking about a completionist buid.

On my last last life atm, then going to TR into this monk, getting so close now

[Purgatory]

All lifes completed at creation screen making my monk! oh ya!

[D-molisher]

Looks like With t he change to TOD.. I should be hiting a 28 wis in fire stance, 30 with ship buffs...


This should give me 40 dc to TOD.... still not sure if im going to stay monk witht he change 40 dc still nice but imune to constucts and undead and is 40 dc high enuf for the other stuff on epic? Raid bosses? probly not.

guess I'll have to wait and see....

After playing a monk myself for so long, do u really want to HAVE to rely on yugo pots constantly? Just imagine, your in a raid, your healers down, you want to toss out a heal or two, but to do so, you gotta swap out ALL your gear pretty much, drink a pot, etc etc. Time wasted.

Just saying that a lot of yourself up is very situational and imo wouldn't be that enjoyable to play in the end, spend more time trying to be a UMD rog than a monk.

Focus more on what a monk is, and drop umd for something that will help you more. It does cost more for wraps and stuff(gotta pay more for non racial, etc) but looks like your gear is 'ok' for now. And a monk doesn't' really need to use heal scrolls, and if/when you DO, like i said, too much gear swapping/potion drinking just to 'maybe' fire off that heal scroll.

Same idea on the stunning blow thing. SF is much more reliable at 'ALL' times. Even on elite in amrath, a DC of 43(I think that's what my monk has, non TR'ed) works roughly 75% of the time. Save the feat for something which will help you more.

One last thing, is that being the fact that your stats/skills are gonna be very 'high' why not make the final TR a rog/mnk multi of some sort. Then all those past lives will be VASTLY more useful to you, (Since rog's make the most use of all the skills) and i could predict (From experience with my rog/monk multi) that you would only need a quick swapout of UMD gloves to have 110% + chance to toss out heal/recon scrolls.(I use HoGF and GH also, but your build could bypass the HoGF quite easily)

A assassin build or even a acrobat build would 'fit' with the completionist feat much better imo.

No umd? there nothing else worth getting jump, balance, concentration are maxed out and spot almost maxed nothing else worth taking on a monk, umd will be hiting high 20's maybe low 30's that be more then enuf for a monk to use RR gear...

If i wanted to make a rog I would of built a rog....Watering down a monk with rog levels not goign to increase the DC of TOD and Stuning first, Its going to make it worse

If you you want to make a completionist rog go ahead

[Xeraphim]

If Shintao III didn't cost so goddamn many feats, Completionist would be a nice addition.

You may want to rethink Dark.

hi, first off, congrats on your stubborness to be able to do all those TR's lol im personally just preparing to do my first TR ever into a str monk from a dex monk.

the build looks grat if you ask me, wish i had all those past lifes,

although i tend to agree with Xeraphim the shintao might be a better choice due to the new 'distance stun' ability and tomb of jade. you'd lose a fair bit of sneak (which i assume is one of the main reasons to go dark?) but the Shintao Monk: Kukan-Do - Fortitude save (DC = 10 + Charisma Modifier + your monk level). Any effects that modify your Stunning Blow or Stunning Fist DC's also affect this ability.
and
Shintao Monk: Tomb of Jade - Will save (DC = 10 + Wisdom Modifier + your monk level)

should be something to think about. they would be exponentially useful, also the bonus of metalline good/evil fists and the jade strike etc. giving 10% more damage. light monk has improved a lot in the lastest update.

ultimatly your decision (obviously) but i think its, again, at least worth a short think

Im going to wait a bit and see how often i can land a 40 dc tod,
If its landing alot on elite/epic i might lesser recarn and up my wis 4-6 pts drop str 2-3 pts, I do have the str to spare thats for sure. So I can land even more often. Might even possible craft +2 exceptional wis on ring instead of shocking burst

If its not landing that much and it being imune to construct and undead too, I defiently TRing again might try light monk but realy dont want to do the dex base monk as it eat up more feats and I want to use my past life ones as much as I can.

i think a 40 dc will land a good amount of the time, i'd guess about 60-70% in epics(my 38 lands 35-45% of the time in epics).

+2 wisdom you can get elsewere, another burst would be best i'd say but thats a matter of preferance i guess. personally i think, contrary to popular opinion, that a str light monk works better than a dex light so i might work. in the planner i got my halfling str build i plan to TR into upto 40 str without any temp buffs(fair few epics though)

[Fafnir]

I'm trying to tinker with a solid halfing str/wis light shintao monk so interested in what you come up with.
