Helven Godhand variant: Critique please

[Victor_1]

Hello community This is the character I am planning to roll, Helven 12/7/1 godhand variant.
Designed as DPS tactic fighter, mostly focusing on stunning blow/fist.

My question is
1. With lower damage dice of fist, can this toon maintain decent DPS?
2. Does my tactic DC will be enough? Also, does kensai/Ftr Stun enhancement influence on Stunning "Fist"? I know stunning weapon does, but not sure on enhancement.
3. I know Feat/Enhancement could use improvement, especially on placeholder feats. Suggestions are more than welcome.

Very long blahblahblah of proposed build detail, so be warned!

Estimated attainable tactic DC

Stunning Blow
10 base DC + 19 STR(16base +5 lv +2 tome +2 ship +3 enh +7 item(epic brawling) +1 exep(DT or glove slot) +2 rage +8 Power surge +2 Stance) +10 Item +4 Kensai/Tactic = 43

Stunning Fist
10 base + 5 WIS(16 base +6 item - 2 stance) +10 1/2char lv +10 item +4 kensai/tactic(If they affect on fist) = 39

Trip/Sunder
10 base +19 STR +10 Item(I know I have to swap gear) +2 Kensai = 41


Any opinion/advice/suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance

Your burst DPS will be better than a pure monk, given kensai 2 and haste boost 4 (apart from the fact that you don't get dark monk's ToD or light monk's extra stuns or void strike 4). Your stun DC should also be better than a pure monk, even without maxing Wisdom, since kensai/fighter bonuses will contribute to both stuns. I have a very similar build, and I took toughness for each of the "placeholder" feats you identified. Well, except that I had a monk past life, so I took the active PL feat for one of them.

As for possible improvements, I would drop the rogue level (since the sneak damage doesn't stack with rogue dilettante) for either another monk level or a ranger level (for sprint boost and wand usage). Also I took 6 monk as soon as possible in order to get shadow fade. It's great at all levels.

Planning a similar buid and came across this one in my research. I'd drop the rogue level as it is only opening up UMD for you. Another Monk level will give you a 1d10 base dmg die - a monk past life feat (active) will up that to 2d6 and Garments of Equilibrium will bring it to 2d8 - same as a lvl 17-19 monk (although with same bonuses a pure monk can get up to 2d14? I believe). Still, the best break point for the level sllit IMO.

My plan is to fit in both tiers of healing amp (racial and monk) and those bracers that give 25% in fire stance. Inspired from the Solar Phoenix build (credit where credit due). Loaded up on healing amp I dont think I'll miss UMD too much. Half ranks should still allow reliable wand usage to augment potent potions due to the amp.

Thanks for input guys

Very good point, I added rogue level just for sake of UMD, but since I don't have past life feat for this character it may be better to stick with lv8 monk.
And for some reason shadow fade was completely out of my mind, I'll see what I can do with leveling order, thanks for pointing it out

Another good point, didn't think about Garments of Equilibrium. Even w/o past life I can still hit for 2d6 dmg die, not bad for monk splashed character I assume.

I'll edit my first post later once I done messing with planner, thanks again for input

I would agree with Kuro Zero in that another level of monk would benefit you more. Monks get a natural unarmed damage increase at level 8.

If your dead set on using a Half-Elf, I would suggest the Cleric dilly so you can still use scrolls and wands. This would help to offset the loss of UMD. Otherwise drop Half-Elf altogether and pick a stronger race like Warforged, Half-Orc, or Dwarf, that is more suited to this kind of build. Their racial tactics line of enhancements would really help your DC's for Stunning Fist/Blow etc.
