Ok so I read the beginner guide for monk and a few other guides but I was hoping someone could help me with a build.

I am going to be getting my 3 Monk PL's before I go back to my last Arty life and I am wondering a few things. I have played toons with monk splashes but only played a pure monk once a long time ago.

I "think" I want a Halfling staff build with at least 2 levels of rogue but maybe 4 levels or more. I have plenty of trapping gear and tomes of skill to make trapping easy plus I always enjoyed this type of build more then handwrap fighting. Two levels gets me +15% attack speed + Quickstrike and the rogue version is better then the monk version. If I go 4 levels I get the AoE trip attack. Halffer also gets me Healing dragonmarks. Halffer also gets dex to dmg with staves I believe.

Any other ideas? I would do a pure monk and handwraps if someone though it would be faster/easier to get to 20. I have +4 tomes on every stat on this guy plus I can make a GS staff for the 3 lives I am gonna get. Any input would be great. A link to a good build would be nice also. Any splashes are fine as long as I get a monk life out of it. And epic levels don't matter as I won't be doing any epic stuff.
