well so far, I am just going to say that out right i dun like human :/ feat is nice, but meh, i prefer dwarf, generally much better stats, as a legend i'm at 16 str, con, dex, and wis at level 1 as a dwarf, this makes most feats pretty easily obtainable, and a +2 tome for all stats means you can be a GM of any of the stances i personally use earth stance, i used o be a windy, unless you have haste pots or something use wind stance till at least level 6, then go o earth, if you want more info on my current build, or build options, ect, i can help you out, just pm me, im a little ocupied as of right now so i can't do as much as i wouldl ike to

Best you wait on the update. Everything about monk is changing. Everything you thought you knew is going to be wrong.

Touch of Death proved to be so weak on Lamannia that I would not bother with it once I hit epic levels. It is basically a nice gimmick at heroic levels and entirely useless afterwards. There are tons of ways to personalize your build coming with the enhancement pass and the ability to pick and choose among the different parts of the monk prestige enhancements means getting the best of all worlds based on what you're looking for.

The only constant, IMO, is that WIS/CON/DEX are the only pertinent stats for a monk. Race choice will also be crucial.

Changes to enhancements also affects feat selections. Most builds can probably drop/swap 2 or 3 feats as they are no longer required to unlock enhancements.

If you don't have access to Lamannia and can't find what you're looking for in the Lamannia forums then I recommend you do nothing until after the update.

You are missing Great Cleave. It will improve your dps against trash more than any other feat you took. Mobility and Spring Attack are pretty junk feats. Definitely replace one of them with Great Cleave. I'd recommend Improved Sunder for the other one.
