Tactical Fist 12/8 Fighter/Monk

[Deivonte]

I need to get through my Fighter life, I made this build. Its an unarmed Fighter/Monk build that focuses on getting a high stunning fist DC. Also because I had so many feats I decided to go for Whirlwind Attack since its NOT broken on unarmed combat. I decided that Kensai it the better enhancement tree (comparing with Shintao).

For Epic Destinies: I'd recommend either GMoF (if you enjoy Drifting Lotus and Everything is Nothing) or Primal Avatar (Honestly better for damage)
I'm waiting to see if Fighter Tactical Feats effect the DC's of GMoF abilities (I doubt it, but one can hope ).

For Twists:
If in Primal Avatar:
- Sense Weakness
- Legendary Tactics
- A Dance of Flowers

If Grandmaster of Flowers:
- Sense Weakness
- Legendary Tactics
- Cocoon
- Balanced Strikes (If you can fit it in)

So why unarmed?
- My Character has the work "fist" in it, so... yea.
- Stunning Fist allows for perma-stun capabilities.
- I don't feel like farming/crafting new weapons.

Just change most of Kensei enhancements (just keep max 21 ap for power surge) for Shintao enhancements to get empty hand mastery, kukan do, elemental curatives, jade strike, deft strikes, iron skin, knock on the sky, etc; also get more henshin enhancements for the cores that give 10 meele power each core, also can get unbalancing strikes or fists of iron. And get know the angles from harper tree if enough ap for extra damage and tactics. (drop stalwart to 6 ap just for the stance for more ap in other trees)
A good setup would be something like: 34 ap shintao, 21 ap kensei, 11 ap henshin, 6 ap stalwart, 8 ap harper(kta) (or can drop harper enhancements to get opportunity attack in kensei, human dmg boost and heal amp).

Get some stunning and insightful, quality stunning items for the tactics and would be really cool to have reliable tactical attacks from shintao tree plus stunning fist and dire charge. Str, con, int and wis items, sneak damage, deadly, alacrity/speed, accuracy, would be helpful for more damage.
About handwraps, EE Adamantine knuckles, epic scraps of enlightenment, Storm's harness, thunderforged, etc.
