Enhancements are a basic idea of what I want on it, and subject to a LOT of change. For example, I'm not sure if I want to take Patient Tortoise or Clever Monkey, but I selected Tortoise for now. There is some other weirdness based on what I'm gearing (using Wis from Clerics of Amanautor instead of Sun Soul set, as next life I'm going Cleric, and I'm taking PDK helm/gloves because that's what my current toon has). It doesn't show, but I'm getting Vorpal Strikes as my level 21 feat.

You definitely don't want SF: Concentration. Anything would be better, even another Toughness, but I would pick from Improved Sunder, Precision, Stunning Blow, Mobility.

Enhancement wise I would drop...
-All the Fire stance. Using Fire stance is fine, but you get very little return for spending AP on it.
-A lot of HP stuff. In Tortoise and Toughness 4 you're spending 8 AP on 15 HP, that's not the ticket.

Enhancements I would pick up...
-Touch of Death! Why even be a dark monk if you don't pick it up?
-Moar Healing Amp. The second tier at the very least.

That's a lot of volatility so let's see how that shakes out before we do any more tweaks.

Oops. I thought Touch of Death was Ninja Spy autogrant :/ Which other stance do you recommend then? I have air for alacrity, but I kind of built this guy for Grandmaster of Fire. Mountain seems silly as tanking monks are pretty much useless now, and GMoW doesn't seem to add enough to justify the AP cost.

[Munkenmo]

grand master of fire is a total waste of AP.

you're spending 9ap for +2 str which only = +1 damage / to hit per swing.

for free you get

Lesser Sun Stance: The consuming flame focuses on an aggressive offense. Lesser Sun Stance grants +2 Strength at a cost of -2 Wisdom. While in Lesser Sun Stance you gain 'Hit Effect: Gain 1 ki.' and 'Critical Effect: Gain 2 ki.'

for an extra 9AP it's upgraded to

Ultimate Sun Stance: The consuming flame focuses on an aggressive offense. Ultimate Sun Stance grants +4 Strength at a cost of -2 Wisdom. While in Ultimate Sun Stance you gain 'Hit Effect: Gain 1 ki.' and 'Critical Effect: Gain 5 ki.'

that extra 3ki per crit isn't worth 9ap either, stick with lesser sun stance, which is auto granted free at level 1.

[Kinerd]

Even if you don't use Mountain stance, the strikes by definition work on everything. Especially as a damage-focused monk, this is nice.

The other side is you don't have to have any stance GMed but Wind. Dwarves have a Tactics enhancement that soups up your Stunning Fist and Stunning Blow as well as a Spell Defense enhancement that soups up your saves, and even as a monk you can always use more saves.
