Sounds fun --I am running pretty much the same monk in fire stance to have amazing high ki for lots of clicky use. I wonder if running more points in Henshin to get cauldron and the xtra 10 melee would produce a significantly better dps while losing the human tree and the ninja tree enhancements?

Shadow veil is huge , i wouldn't give it up . One of the best parts of monks and why they can get by with 1200 ish hp is the amount of misses u get. High ac , dodge , shadow veil , displacement makes them playable in LE while other classes need more hp to absorb the damage they take. I think my MP is 126 standing and 196 with blitz so 10 more would be cool but not worth the loss.

*** Also i feel fire is sub par compared to wind. 10% off hand from meditation of war and 12% double strike is better the 19-20 crit multi , unless ur str based ....but why would u be?

Snip....but why would u be?

far as i am aware strength is still the only available tohit and damage stat mod for unarmed?

Nope. Ninja spy's core 1 and 2 let you use dexterity for hit and damage, respectively. Used to be I believe this only applied to slashing and piercing weapons like kama, shortsword, etc. But now it applies to any weapon you use while centered. So most unarmed monks now are dex monks.

There's also the possibility of going int with harper agent, but seriously. Don't do that as a pure monk. We'll have to ask you to turn in your monk card.

Hum, conferred with wiki, looks like ninja spy cores are worded way differently now, good times. have a brush hook monk i can log on in awhile to double/triple check this. obviously this info escaped me. going to make some big build changes. glad i posted

Any commentd about self-healing?
The build doesn't have a lot of sp (just from gear, i suppose) and you are also using sp to fuel kta.
Is umd and heal scrolls viable?

I've been away a while and I'd like to know this too.

I'd also like a breakdown of your wisdom if you could please

Healing ... not gonna lie the healing isn't a palis or a rangers however. With 190 healing amp cocoon , pots , healing curse , healing ki and being so fast u can jump outtta danger to heal do just fine for me , this build has been tested in LE shroud and has face tanked the red names in part 2-5 ( though that winged chick still kills me ). *** I also take 2 min kta to help with sp management , The only time i have issues with sp is short manning / soloing stuff. Group play is much faster and less healing needed.

And if that doesn't work yelling "HJEALLL MEEEE!!!!!!!" sometimes works

Wis is 18 base , 7 lvls , +6 tome , rest is gear slave lords...festive augment...insightful 7 cannith crafted

And yes always take UMD at 30 u can have a 40+ even with a 8 starting chars
