its a lvl 2 monk (for stanches and ki)and lvl 18 fgtr (for kensei)

You can't use stances and ki with a rapier out. To do that, the character would have to be changed to Bludgeon spec and use handwraps.

Monk2 would still give evasion and wisdom AC, which might be enough for your needs. If you're going to use Ki though, you should probably both switch to handwraps and take monk3, so you can cast positive finisher buffs.

if he plans on going more than 2 monk lvls, then he needs to go 12/8 fighter/monk for increase fist damage + buncha other monk stuff

You can take Whirling Steel Strike and get elf bonuses for longsword and go longswords if you want to do the 18/2 fighter/monk split Kensai. The Kensai III + WSS + Wind Stance + elf bonuses for longsword = not terrible. Change your focus to slashing weapons. You will have plenty of feats, so picking up weapon focus slashing and whirling steel strike won't be difficult. You also get some minor finishers for a bit of extra DPS and will almost always have full ki.

It won't be a massive DPS toon, but survivable with decent DPS and saves. Longswords aren't awesome, but with the total package, it is doable and halfway decent.

It will be a high dps not highest but high dps using earth strikes and finisher. Elf bonuses and such like you said and kensai 3 the dps adds up.

With the 16-20 crit range and all kensai bonuses the large numbers are not there but the continual 150 crits are. and adds up fast.

I have this build and continually lead kills and have dps aggro at most times.

So lacking dps you will not be it is a high dps build not highest but high. That is the 18/2 elf kensai 3/ monk 2 build using LS.
