Wisdom and Dexterity Monk

[DrunkenBuddha]

I gotta concur - my dex/wis monk is a tad gimp at end-game, but she isn't fully geared out either. Up to 20 dex/wis is absolutely awesome. Even with the changes to ki generation, stunning is so effective, both for solo survivability and for group crowd control. Quivering palm is absolutely underrated as previous poster mentioned - excellent. For the life of me I can't pull my last boot ing to start grinding out Tod. I have multiples of the others but am missing one. I could trade, but given the hassle it has been to get those ing, I am saving them to pass on to my other toons leveling.

So I will be TR'ing to a Horc, but Str/Wis (level ups in Wis). I got some sweet RR handwraps which are pushing me in that direction, Holy +10 stunning among others, but I will still be going Shintao and putting lvl ups into WIS.

16
16
8
16
6

Please submit any suggestions!

GIMPED 12 str isnt enough to be a gimped monk u need 10
jk but you will loose damage etc you need 14 str in order to do at least "some" damage xD
i never build any monk with gimped str

With a starting wis of 16 and assuming +2 ship buffs that would be a 42 stunning DC I believe. 43 with Yugo pots? And even higher if you can fit in GM water stance. Possible upgrade to epic helm of the moranon +7 wis and exceptional wisdom slotted on an epic item. That stunning DC should be enough to be fairly reliable in epics. You also gain a few points of AC with the boosted wisdom and dex (more Yugo pots) of course .

I would recommend 14 str 14 con personally. You lose a little bit of hp, but WF have con enhancements too if you can fit them in.
