Pierre - challenge build - dps monk?

[OldAquarian]

With all the changes to Monk - the question is: Can pure monks do top notch dps (NOT Highest)
The goal is to be on par with fighter or barbarian as a pure monk

I will start this off with a build that focuses on DPS - not stunning or AC etc.
And will hope for evaluations and suggestions to see if Monk is finally a dps class
Some rules: no more than +2 tomes required, only 1 past life (monk is too good to not allow one)

Some info on this build:
6d6 Sneak Attack Damage
Earth Stance for + to CRIT, and +die
Past Life Monk for +die
(Remember unarmed is 10% faster and gets full STR on offhand)


Here goes:

If you're not taking the Void line you can dump Wis and pump Str, based on your assumptions that you're not worried about stunning or AC.

[butlerfamilywa]

You can have a very viable high dps toon, just make sure you have 18 con after tomes, or 18 str after tomes for either earth 4 or fire 4. also a 17 dex after tomes for GTWF.

Fire 4 dark path = high dps
earth 4 light path = high dps (x3 crits, yes it does make that much of a difference.)
