What this build is:
Basically I wanted to create a half-elf build and wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. I also knew I wanted to multiclass. What I decided to do was to make a revised version of the Solar Phoenix. Essentially I lost some healing amp and healing ki for self-heals on the go, and gained additional DPS, wand usage for some buffing, dragonmarks, and a new exciting race!

Lol..here's the beef of the build.

Final Unbuffed Ability Scores:
34 Strength. (16 base + 1 Racial Enhancement + 5 Level Up +2 Tome + 6 Item +2 Sun Stance, +2 Exceptional [on a ToD ring] )
22 Dexterity. (15 base +2 Tome +5 Item)
22 Constitution. (14 Base + 2 Tome +6 Item)
18 Wisdom: (12 base -2 Sun Stance +2 Tome +6 Item)
10 Intelligence: (8 Base +2 Tome)
24 Charisma: (14 base +2 tome +6 item +2 Enhancement)


Healing Amplification:
20% - Human Racial Enhancements
20% - Hunter of the Dead II
10% - Dragontouched Eldritch Rune
20% - Dragontouched Tempest Rune
25% - Jidz-Tet'ka
30% - Greensteel Triple Positive Longsword

Total: Approx. 308% total Healing Amplification.

Hit Points:
20 heroic
10 draconic
16 monk
60 fighter
120 paladin
40 paladin toughness
20 racial toughness
22 toughness feat
120 con
30 gfl
20 toughness item
45 greensteel

Total: Approx. 523 Hit Points unbuffed.


Feat Choices:
TWF->ITWF->GTWF
Power Attack
Toughness
IC: Slash
Wep focus: slash -- Pre-req for Whirling Steel Strike
Whirling Steel Strike
Wep spec: slash -- Pre-req for Kensai
Dragonmarks -- Got these for lack of better feats, and because the tier 3 looks fun.

Skills:
This is the major con of the build. Little to no skill points. Put any and all into Jump/Balance.

Summary:
PROS - Decent HP, High Healing Amp, Evasion, Wand Buffing, Decent Saves, Good DPS, Heals
CONS - Little to no skills, limited sp pool for heals, TBD

C&C highly appreciated.

Fists of Light and Healing Ki are the very core of the Solar Phoenix. Dropping monk 3 completely negates that. What you have is a Kensai pally, not a revised Phoenix.

Kensai I isn't that impressive. Perhaps look into picking ranger 6 instead of fighter 6. This will get you many feats for free (incl. ITWF, bow strength, rapidshot, manyshot) and lots of extra skill points. You also get 2 FE and ram's might.
You might also want to consider switching monk 2 for rogue 2 and dropping longswords for khopeshes.

If you're centered you actually gain more dps in Wind Stance then in Sun Stance due to the speed increase.
Off course you can change stances as needed.

Healing amp and self heals are the key to the build..I have the healing amp, and I have paladin cures..close enough.

And I could change paladin to ranger and keep fighter and change monk to rogue and poof monster build..I think you kinda just defeated the purpose.

Sun stance is for the healing amp.

Resilian,

Hi there, just wondered how you were getting along with the build. I rolled one and it's great fun at lowbie levels but am a little worried about end-game. Do we need 3 leves of Monk ? What would we lose if we dropped a lev of Pally?

I've spent most of the last 4 yrs playing rogues so don't know Monk or Pally very well.... Hope you find time to reply.

Mouser.
