Build seeker

[sacredguyver]

Looking for a build that meets the following criteria:
Human
Pure Monk
Shintao PrE
STR-focus
Ultimate Fire or Earth Stance (possibly both)
Not-a-Stunner
34-point build

I say 34pt build because I'm going to TR my current Monk into the above. Neither builds nor gear are my strong points (gear less so than builds), so I'm looking for some help. I figure that instead of trying to "fix" my current 32pt Monk build, it'd be easier and cheaper to just TR. I like the versatility of Humans, and don't have H-Orc or H-Elf unlocked. Already have some gear, but not fully geared by a long shot (missing Kyosho's Ring for one, and Morgana's is a poor placeholder, crafted or not).

Would like a 36-point version as well, since I may TR back-to-back (depending on my other TRs).

[Memek]

Why wouldnt you stun as a Monk?

[Taimasan]

I think he means he does not want to be real wisdom heavy.

[Maatogaeoth]

I know someone has this exact build buried in their signature. But I'm having no luck finding it this morning.

[SensaiRyu]

Two builds in my sig can be tweaked - maybe three. Just ignore the dilly's - I only take Rogue Dilly I anyway so spend the 2ap into something else.

Marten's - my personal fav,
Teeny,
and mine - my second personal fav

[sacredguyver]

Thanks for those links, Sen. Here's what I've managed to come up with, on a 34-pt version and a 36-pt.

34-pt Human Shintao Monk:

[Kinerd]

You don't need to be Wis focused to have very effective stuns. With a Stunning +10 item, your base Stunning Fist DC is 30. Even a little bit of Wisdom puts you into the useful range.

I'm about to TR my monk into a human, and here is the build I came up with:

Str 16 +4
Dex 15 +1
Con 14
Int 8
Wis 16
Cha 8

Feats
Stunning Fist & TWF & Stunning Blow
Power Attack
PL Monk
Luck of Heroes & Toughness
Improved TWF
Improved Critical
Greater TWF
Toughness

Enhancements
4 - Human Versatility
3 - Monk IR, Shintao, Air, Fire, Human IR, Tortoise
2 - Toughness, Concentration
1 - Capstone, Balance, Monk Wisdom, Human Wisdom, Earth

You could swap to 16 Con 14 Wis for Ultimate Earth (with a tome, naturally). I think you'll get a lot more mileage out of 16 Str 14 Wis than 18 Str 8 Wis, and can't recommend the 3rd rank of Human IR strongly enough.

[SensaiRyu]

I just re-spec'd my enhancements and took Vers IV, Void IV, Mountain IV.

I always strongly suggest Void IV. Another monk and I were running ToD yesterday - by sheer luck we both proc'd void at the same time. Side by side purple wipes. Impressive.

I use void IV all the time when I'm not in a different finishing combo.

Don't forget that wis and dex add to AC. It may not be worth having an 18 str up front (the +1 mod you'd get above a 16 str is expensive - in terms of points). Just a thought...
