Hey.
(Some backstory, you can skip if you're only interested in the build part)
So I just got back to DDO with a friend of mine, and I looked over my build on my monk and I saw that I had a lot of redundant stuff, plus my build was getting pretty old so I thought it'd be time to rework it a bit.
I'd always wanted to try out Henshin Mystic, but my previous experiences with it wasn't good (could've easily been a bad build though), and after reading the forums a bit, I saw that the general conclusion was that it wasn't all that great overall.
Then I saw that rogues had gotten an enhancement rework, and that Thief-Acrobat looked really interesting.
My new plan was then to finally try and dabble a bit with Multiclassing. I wanted to build a monk/rogue hybrid build focusing on Quarterstaff.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what I came up with, and I'd love it if any of you could try and tell me if there's anything wrong with it.
I feel as though I've got the monk class somewhat under control, with regards to what works and what doesn't, but still, missing something and then having spent 1400 turbine points would suck.

The staff I currently have is Stout Oak Walking Stick, but I've got my eyes on Epic Souleater.
Keep these things mind:
-This builds main purpose is to be able to do dungeons and some challenges with 1 other person (Wolf Druid) and some hirelings.
-This is not meant to be a top tier build which can compete on EE or raids.
Is there anything majorly wrong with this build, or does it look alright as it is?
Thanks for taking the time to read through all this, I really appreciate it.
--Edit--
Never mind with the help bit. I went ahead and did it after altering the build a tiny bit. I went with cleave and greater cleave and my damage seems pretty insane, at least compared to what it was before.

Do you want to run a stick build, or do you want to run a Monk stick build?
If the latter, I'd go Dex-based 12 Monk/5 Rogue/3 Paladin as outlined here.Astreya the Unturning
It's always a shame when the hammer of poor design choices smashes the fun of player tactical adaptation.
