Is this built worth the money? I'm thinking of TR'ing into it: 12 FVS/6 RNGR/2 MONK

[Xeno5k]

I'm trying to merger Melee DPS with survivability. The built I've come up with is designed to generate 80% the DPS of regular DPS toons but far surpass them in survivability due to its damage evasion and healing abilities.

My main problem arises from the fact that I will have to purchase MOTU and Half Elf to complete this thing: I still need the Purple Dragon Gauntlets from MOTU and Half Elf is the best race for this (Drow is too AP intensive and Human & Elf offer no Melee DPS).

The Built

Basic Stats: HP = 801, SP = 1,905, DPS = 805, Reflex Save = 57.

For Reference: An 8 Fighter/1 Monk/11 Ranger Dwarf with Dual Mornhs has a DPS of ~1,002.

6. Considerations:
- Fury of the Wild turns out to be less DPS than Legendary Dreadnaught.
- Ranged DPS would be lower than Melee DPS, and having both would heavily limit melee DPS.
- Half Elf gives 10% heal amp and 3d6 sneak attack which far surpass the benefits gained from other classes.
- Warpriest Enhancements would generate less DPS than the Deepwood enhancements they would replace (both costing ~25 AP).
