Mystic Monk Thumper-Help Wanted

[Pyroweasle]

Would like a little help in Figuring out if this is a decent build or not. I've been playing around on my 14 sorc/4 pally/2 rogue EK and its been a lot of fun. But he is lacking tomes and gear to really shine. I also have always been a fan of quarterstaffs, and I like the monk synergy with them. So This is some Base theory crafting, and was going to let the wolves of the forums help me pick this apart to work out its kinks.

I was too lazy to put the skills in because that all seems like common sense to me. Also for the level one feat. I had no idea what to grab, and this guys reflex saves are the weakest of the three. *Edit-it shows all my non EK Enhancement choices, so im only going to explain my EK ones*

4 Core Enhancements

Tier 1-3/MA SLA, 3/toughness

Tier 2-3/Shield SLA, 1/LA prof(for the -5% Spell fail), 1/Martial Prof(for the 2% DS)

Tier 3- 3/ Arcane Barrier,3/ Critical Acuracy/1 Str Enhancment

Tier 4- 3/Crit Damage,1/Str enhacnement

Tier 5- 1/Perma-tensers, 3/ Eldritch Tempest, 2/DS




I already have a Sireth, and was planning on slotting recon into that. But other than that, I am open to a list of gear i should grind out this life to make this guy kick ass and take names in his next.

I've tried this and other variants; in short, EK sucks. The shield SLA is nice, but everything else below tier 5 is wasted AP, and tier 5 isn't as good as pretty much any other PrE.

I would max Henshin (melee DPS and spell power!) and splash ninja and EK.
