alchemical byshek wraps

Increase dice step if chosen as the material. So have to go that route on my shintao, question is, will it stack with jidz + earth or garments?

The question you should be asking is if it will bug your character out. Lol

Dude, crafted handwraps are currently borked. Don't even try it unless you know the crafted wrap works bug free

Someone has to be first

Tested. The wraps do not stack with earth+jidz, garments or any other gear based dice bump. bummer. serious bummer. Guess it means my main will craft crystal since its the only thing i dont thin shintao bypass naturally?

There's also the option of 5-pc Abishai set and Dragontouched armor, while maintaining maximum damage dice.

5- pc Abishai means Epic Scorched Bracers, which rules out Epic Jidz-Tet-ka's Earth Stance benefit.

Dragontouched rules out Garmets of Equilibrium, as both are body slot. Note that for WF monks, Garmets aren't even an option in the first place.

So putting it on your handwraps is a logical benefit, considering as Shianto, you're breaking nearly every DR that matters... and the only one you aren't would be /Evil, which is quite rare as it lies now. Even still, if you REALLY wanted to you could go Anarchaic Burst on ToD rings, if I remember correctly.

Crystal and Mithral AFAIK are what you don't have. Both are fairly useless. Mithral is for Stormreaver and a few mithral constructs, and Crystal is for one boss AFAIK. Habreno, Shintao monks can get evil as well by the ToD set Shintao 3 specific bonus. You may have been thinking of chaotic?

To me the Byeshk not stacking means that I can skip the earth Jidz and the Garments. This allows for Dragontouched, Epic Red Dragonscale, other stances if ever desired without losing DPS, and... there are some other decent bracers I'm sure.
I'm planning on 5-piece abishai as well, yum. And byeshk wraps make it even better.
