Knight Templar Build

[KainLionheart]

Ok so I just thought this might be a fun concept to try out. Loosely based on The Templar Knights of old (sorry if name has been used before I did a search and found nothing)
I'm aware it may not be the best build going but I think it might have some decent healing amp, feel free to pick holes or tell me where it could be improved

Its worth noting I know little abotu the mechanics of Monks in game as I bought the class aaaages ago and have never as of yet made one. I am assuming th emonk abilities I have, Path of darkness, (I know path of darkness on a paladin, the Rpers will go spare!) and the Adept of Rock, would work with Longsworda and the Whirlign Steel feat.

The character kinda lack a purpose, need to think what you want it to do to get better advice.
With a paly14/monk 6 you can get decent AC (enough to by safe in Amrath and not requiring many rare gear), good threat, fanatstic saves with evasion but don't hope for great dps. Doesn't look like you will go for any Ac with your build and are trying to up your dps (generally done with a tempest II/monk build).
But in general:
-divine might I alone is not that great (due to activation time)
-adept of rock is great to get agro but you have to make sure you want it, getting another stance can help, I use water stance quite a lot. With only 6 lv of monks most stance don't get all the effect they are normally used for (air stance only increase you dps by 3 % for example at L6) only get fire if you plan to use epic jiz teka bracers.
-with that much healing amp you might want to get items with healing amp on them
-Not sure about dark monk with whirlwind strike: none of the finisher/special attacks will have a dc high enough to work with only 6 lv of monks. You probably better of with light (for great self healing, combined with the healing amp). I went dark on my monkadin but that was to get ninja spy I which you cant really fit feat wise in a whirlwind build.
-You NEED divine sacrifice, it contributes much more dps than smites over the course of a quest.
-That's a lot of point on charisma you have spend 14 ap on for a net benefit of +2 to saves, +2 hit with smites, +28hp heal with lay on hand (well 43 with your healing amp).

WSS is a trap, IMHO. Either stick with handwraps (esp. w/such low base STR) or, if you really want to use blades, go with short swords once you take Ninja I. Saves two feats and gets comparable DPS - or even a bit better if you use, say, a pair of Smallblades (18-20 crit range). Although now that Stunning Fist is based on char lvl not monk lvl, there's a strong incentive to add it to any MCed monk build which plans to have good WIS too.

-Divine Might is flawed because of the horrible cast time, but its still worth using.
So the 16 charisma isnt bad.

-I have a WSS build. Unless you have plans for specific end game weapons its not all that great.

-Siberies is better than Chalice. I have a Chalice paly. Its nice for Shroud runs but its most end game enemies arent EO. I plan to GCl him for Siberies as soon as I get my 20 Shroud finished.
