    Default 36 pt build, 2 monk PLs, need build ideas

    Thinking 20 monk or 12 fighter/8 monk godhand build.

    Looking for a build that can:
    *Frontline well(not necessarily tank raids, but dungeons)
    *Pull big damage
    *High hitpoints, high heal amp
    *UMD to heal/recon scroll myself

    only thing i can say to this if your going for ability to heal scroll self, the easiest way to do so is go Half-Elf and take cleric dilly otherwise on either of those builds umd would not be enough to no fail even with umd gear though you could prolly get up to a 80% or so

    I'd probably go monk.

    I'd recommend half-elf 20 monk with grandmaster air and earth stance (best dps stance and best trash stance), cleric dilly for 95% heal scrolls, >500 hp (don't really need more unless you're a tank...in which case you can get more), and very nice damage. 16 16 16 8 14 8 stat spread, all level-ups into str, should see mid-40s str or higher all the time.

    And definitely grab the monk past life as well as improved sunder...and if you want dps/survivability, make sure to go dark monk: shadow fade + ToD = win.

    This, with a few personnal points :

    - Cleric dilly isn't all that overwhelming imo, healing amp + csw+sf pots do the job pretty much every time. Rogue dilly adds quite some dps and nothing can replace that.

    - The one reason for me to go pure monk is the 2 ToDs, with a decent wis and imp sunder you can land touch of despair pretty reliably on the LoB (-25% fort is huge), and touch of death is so much better when your dc is high enough to matter... (dc 40 on mine atm, it works really well)
    Not to mention the survivability of dr10+earth stance 4+shadow fade+blur (mabar cloak or ring of the stalker)

    - That one works for splashes and pure (dark) monks : take the 2nd fire stance to get 2 fire moves, get thaarak wraps, and now in a lot of content quickly load up the fire-dark-fire finisher -> imp. sunder the mob -> unleash finisher -> enjoy!

    Edit: for the stats proposed in the quoted post, it's a good one. I went with 14 dex (+3 tome) and 16 wis instead, but that prevents the use of air stance 4.

    My past lives were a human dex based dark monk whom was in air stance, and a half-elf str based light monk whom was in fire stance.

    I was initially thinking a WF monk or godhand, but upon realizing healing amp doesn't work with repair spells and lack of self healing in a WF build, I'll likely go with a half-elf cleric dilletante again.

    Both TERRIBLE builds. You know you're tired of monk, ditch it and make a caster!

    This is an old build of mine. I since tr'd into something I like quite a bit better, but regardless, it worked very well. Had 3 pl monk when I made this. Since making it, I have seen a boatload of 12monk, 6-7 ftr/pally/rng, 1-2 ftr/rog variations. All are good im sure. If you are getting tired of pure monk, Id suggest checking some of these out. My current build is 12monk/6rog/2ftr. I can hit 106 ac self/shipbuffed, got 520hp shipbuffed, 50 dex, attack faster than anything ive ever seen so far, and my biggest crit was 344.... with a stick. Planning on posting it when I complete one more item, and upgrade with tokens one more. The 12 monk base multiclass char is awesome for tons of reasons. Just an idea, because with 2 past lives in monk, its a shame to waste the unarmed damage feat.
