Legend: Untouchable Monk Build (AC 80)

[Odin's_Hugin]

I know AC builds arent exactly valorized, mainly due to the insane hitting bonus from epic mobs. However, I cant help but love to play with those kinds of builds

I had a 66 ac on my last monk build, but I TR'ed to halfling (2nd TR'ed) and with the new updates, devised a way to get 72 auto-sustaining AC, 73 with haste and 76 with guild buffs.

I present my build: the Untouchable Monk

36 point build (Legend)

Str 6 => Str 10 (4)
10 str + 2 tome + 6 item + 2 guild +1 exc. = 21 (+1 lv up = 22)
Dex 10 => Dex 17 ( 8 )
17 dex + 2 tome + 6 item + 2 guild + 4 stance + 2 enhanc. + alchemical dex+2 + exc. Dex+2 = 37 (+3 lv-up = 40)
Con 8 => Con 13 (5)
13 con + 2 tome + 6 item + 2 guild + 1 exc. -2 stance = 22
Wis 8 => Wis 18 (16)
18 wis + 2 tome + 6 item + 2 guild + 3 enhanc. = 31 (+1 level = 32)
Int 8 => Int 11 (3)
11 int + 2 tome = 13 (for Combat Expertise)
