Speedstick, 16/3/1 monk/druid/rogue. Could use advice.

[ArcaneArcher52689]

My Epic TR character is almost ready to begin her 3rd life, her first as a non-spellcaster. I've decided on 16/3/1(possibly 15/3/2) monk/druid/rogue.

Reasoning:
16 Monk, I wanted a monk PL, at least 15 monk for QP(still works fine in EH), access to t5 henshin
3 druid- fatal harrier, Doublestrike Action boost, vengeful hunter. I'm trying to get as many hits in as i can.
1 rogue- 15% attack speed, possibly enough skill points for trapping. Will have to see how that works out.



Stats:
human 36 pt w/ +5 supreme tome, level ups in STR
16
9
16
12

9

Leveling order:
1 Rogue -skills/attack speed
2-4: monk - feats+FoL
5-7: druid -get fatal hari
8-20: Monk



Feats- This is where i'm having trouble. The build gets 11 heroic feats. 5 of them are taken between OC prereqs and GM stance. That leaves 6 more that I'm not sure what to do with. Currently, I've put in all the feats for Whirlwind attack, mainly because I have room, and the prereqs are all martial arts bonus feats.
lvl/feat
1 Power attack
1 Cleave (human)
2 dodge (Monk)
3 Toughness
3 Mobility(monk)
4 Path of harmonious balance, switched out for dark at lvl 12
6 spring attack
9 Great cleave
10 Combat expertise (monk)
12 Imp. Crit. Bludgeon
15 whirlwind attack
18 GM of Forms
21 Overwhelming Critical
24 Epic toughness
26 PTHF/PTWF, not sure which
27 Perma-haste
28- not sure, the other of PTHF/PTWF(if i don't decide to TR before hand)


Enhancements:
Henshin: 34AP: staff spec, shadows cannot exist without light, all 4 cores, quick strike, other stuff
Nature's warrior:16 AP, fatal harrier, vengeful hunter, 30% Doublestrike AB, +1 strength
TA: 4AP 15% attack speed
N. spy: 11AP, 2 SA dice, shadow fade,
Shintao- 13 AP, 3 cores for healing amp, unbalancing strike, reed in the wind, smite tainted creature, dismissing strike, jades trike.
Human, 3AP 10% healing amp, damage boost.



Like I said, if anyone has better suggestions for feats, I'd greatly appreciate them.

Do you think QP is worth more than getting the acrobat tree rather than Henshin?

Druid/monk/rogue makes for a strong build, but I'm not sure you have the class split right.

Maybe not, but as I said, I wanted a monk PL. I'll probably play a similar build as my rogue life eventually.

I saw that, but you could get a monk pl even if you you shift 4 levels to rogue. The loss would be QP.

[unbongwah]

With the nerf to QP DCs (Sundering bonuses no longer apply), I'm not convinced it's still worthwhile if you're not going WIS-based; in which case you might be better off with dumping WIS and going for a more heavily-MCed build as Ancient suggests. I was thinking maybe monk 12 / rog 5 / druid 3: more skill pts & SA from extra rog lvls as well as Acro Quick Strike (shorter CD than Henshin ver). 32 APs in Henshin or Acro for Staff Spec; 14 APs in Nature's Warrior for Vengeful Hunter, Doublestrike action boost, and Fatal Harrier; 11 APs into Ninja for Shadow Form; that leaves 23 APs to spread around as you see fit.

Also, rather than Whirlwind Atk & its pre-reqs, I think I would try to squeeze in PBS/Rapid Shot/Manyshot/Zen Archery/WF:Ranged/Bow STR to give yourself a nice ranged DPS option.

First pass at what I was envisioning:
