Two Monk Vs Two Pally

DPS: Monk Gains ~8% DPS boost with Serith and ~6% with TF

Saves: Pally Gains: 13 Fort Save, 10 Reflex Save, 10 Will saves which puts the pally variant into the no-fail range for all saves (Monk is only no-fail for Ref)

HP: Pally gains +28 hp for

Damage Mitigation: Mathematically equal, however Monk damage will be more spikey as increased mitigation is from Dodge vs PRR

Other: Monk recall is cool. Can wear ToEE armor for 20% more Fortification and +4 PRR

While no fail saves is nice.. it is hard to pass up a 8% dps boost and monk recall. I think that for myself I will likely go with the Monk version.

[Doutrinador]

What about taking Execute: Melee Assassinate attack: +3[W] damage. If the target is below 30% health, deal 500 damage. This damage scales with 400% Melee Power. (Cooldown: 15 seconds) ?

18 rogue/ 1 druid/ 1 FVS would be an option for STR based?

[Rull]

Why not twist bane of undead on the 18r/2p version and pick up divine might?

[Rull]

Also, 18 rogue / 1 Monk / 1 FvS felt like the competing 18r build to me. Even without insanely high CHA (no pal saves) it's a huge damage boost.
