12monk/8druid - GRANDMASTER OF THE DRY HUMP!!

[BLaKxDYNAMITE]

]

i know what everyone says when it comes to melee druid mix that "doubblestrike" from "natural fighting is key for an effective winter wolf dps builds sadly after multiple monk/druid lives like 9monk/9druid/2fighter and 13druid/6monk/1fighter "doublestike" builds just don't hit hard enough or fast enough to replace the brutal sustained dps of regular unarmed combat, in my opinion 12monk/8 druid has the highest damage dealing capability with speed similar to that of the 9monk/9druid/2fight and far Superior to the 13duird/6monk/1fighter. this a burst dps build, meaning most of the dps comes from criticals/actionboots/helpless/sneakattack which you must do whatever to achieve said factors, which are short bursts of very high dps. sustained dps excludeing "criticals/actionboosts/helpless and sneakattack" is decent due to very highnumbers but not as fast as a unarmed monk. will go into more detail later.

Level 25 Lawful Neutral Half-Elf Male THIS IS A TR BUILD ASSUMING YOU HAVE DECENT GEAR AND +3 OR 4 TOMES, i don't recommend this for non tr's or first timers.

~DPS~ the important stuff
in winter wolf form a monks unarmed "improve" from 1d6 bludgeon to 1d10 slashing/piercing and crit range is improved to 17-20 with a multiplier of x3, at the cost of two weapon fighting 80% chance to land an additional blow every attack. how many have chosen to render this problem is by maxing the "double strike" stat. my maximum while 9monk/9druid/2fighter while in legendary dreadnought was a low 40% "animal form base 8* + 32%" from gear/feats/enhancements. honestly 40% like the first two weapon fighting feat, they just don't proc enough to compete with unarmed dps with 80% unless criticals and sneakattack are added in to the equation.
The grandmaster of the dry hump is just another approach to overcoming the massive decrease in attacks per second not by attempting to regain its speed but by simply maxing out the amount of damage you put out.


regular attack on stunned



Main ED is legendary dreadnought:
twists:
1. sense of weakness
2. dance of flowers
3. primal scream

base damage for my character. as a Level 5 legendary dreadnought, with AIR 3 alchemical wraps with rams,primal scream and magic fang as buffs damage roll is 7.5[1d10]+42 so 49-117 per an attack, 147-351 on a 17-18 critical and 294-702 on a x6 19-20 critical in earth stance."without seeker,exceptional seeker,critical damage enhancement from legendary dreadnaught and vengeful hunter" added in to the equation. with a constant double strike chance of 18% which is base 8*+9% from gear. as a winter wolf you also have a few attacks "baiting bite +4[W]" and "takedown +2[W]traps on fail save."
ive had crits up too 1k without th mob even been stunned and 1.3k to 1.7k on stunned without damage boosts and 2k to 4k with boosts.


with damage boosts on stunned

alternate hand wraps, epic elite knuckles the base damage is increased to 9[1d10]+43 at the cost of a 6% double strike chance 52-134 per an attack with 156-402 on 17-18, 312-804 on a 19-20. "without seeker,exceptional seeker,critical damage enhancement from legendary dreadnaught and vengeful hunter" added in to the equation.

~sneakattack~
9d6 9-54 sneak attack damage, 3d6 winter wolf+3d6 rouge dilly+ 3d6 ninja spyII "situational 1d6 from prestige"
~tatics~
with two stuns on seprate cooldowns you can become a great CC asset to the group melee dps alongwith touch of death, greatcleave, cleave baiting bite +4[W]" and "takedown . its almost too easy to take down trash mobs.
spam asmany stunningblows,trips,sunder,cleave,greatcleave and build the masters BLITZ.
1.stunningblow or stunning fist
2.if stunned "they will be" use touch of death
3.baitingbite/takedown/cleave/greatcleave. pick one
4.death and keep spamming sheet

You have failed your save vs. wall of text.

TL;DR
The unarmed split out of form will out DPS you with sheer speed. Don't see anything other than flavour build.

Amen.
Although.. man will continue to make qstaff builds until we get one that is NOT completely gimped!
And we'll continue making winter wolf builds, in the hopes they get better! (they won't.. unless enhancement pass makes them better...? And no, we won't make bear builds. We've given up on them. :c)

[elcagador]

Actually i like this build and i dont think it does less damage than a twf unarmed non-animal form, while being able to use cure spells and having more crit damage, i have a lvl 9 Human dark monk and i think ill try this build (I want to have some kind of self healing from spells) , also i think can work great with primal avatar destiny too and avatar of nature moment.
