Can someone help me improve this build? Would this build work for high level/ epic content? I feel like I might be doing something wrong because my stats had to be spread thin to get Void Strike IV, and am I making a mistake by skipping the ninja spy enhancements?

[jmonty]

and am I making a mistake by skipping the ninja spy enhancements?

definitely

i don't think i'd make a monk without at least planning for a +2 dex tome. and no way would i spread out the stat increases that thinly.

[u31231]

Ok, thanks. How does this tomeless monk look?

I tried to make it like the Metaru build but I used HO instead of WF. Is this a good build?

[jmonty]

it could work fine for pure dps, but unless you really want the earth IV stance i would put the level up points into str instead of con.

[u31231]

I don't really like the earth IV stance, but I need it to be able to use Strike of the Enduring IV so I'm a little reluctant to drop it...
