Looking for a monk build new player

[Crafted]

Hello everyone, I'm new to DDO and looking for a good human STR based 32 point build I tried monks out many years ago, and would prefer a play style primarily of handwraps, and decent dps for raiding.

My issue is although I've spent so much time scouring the forums for a decent build, I can't seem to find anything that will work, as all the enhancements are outdated. I realized that this build http://ddowiki.com/page/Solid_Shintao_Monk seemed like what I wanted but the enhancements are outdated.

If sombody could help me with some viable enhancements for the above build, that would be so much appreciated.

Fortunately for you, SSG buffed monks a couple of updates ago, so pure monks are a lot better than they have been in years. I posted a dwarf unarmed monk a while ago; converting to human is pretty straight-forward and lets you add another feat such as Precision or Power Attack (requires base STR 13).

I've also posted a drow Ninja using shuriken + short swords in my sig, but I have to admit I think Ninjas got the short end of the stick this time around. Their melee DPS buffs just do not seem nearly as good as Shintao's or Henshin's.

If you're trying to do this on a first life without tomes, this is probably the easiest option:

Human Shintao
Monk 20
Lawful Neutral Human

If you buy a +2 DEX tome to start, you can put the first two level-ups into WIS instead. Not sure what to do with that last AP; I'm sure you'll think of something.
