20 Monk: Shintao (reaper-optimized)

[Logicman69]

If i were to do this as an Aasimar race vs orc what would or should the starting stats be? 10 str/16 dex/16c on/12 int/18 wis/8 cha ??

On my Assimar monk, I start at 8 str/13 dex/18 con/12 int/18 wis/8 cha.. That being said, I do have a +8 Supreme tome on this character, so I delay taking TWF till level 2 when that kicks in. If I didn't have those stats, then I would say 8 str/15 dex/16c on/12 int/18 wis/8 cha for a 32 point build. If you have extra points then I would put them into cha for the UMD (no fail raise scrolls).

There have been a numerous amount of statements regarding the disadvantages of melee in high-skull reaper; after exponential mob and difficulty scaling, the base hits taken from generic mobs are colossal enough to absolutely annihilate a traditionalist character. Having to stand toe-to-toe with these mobs, while penetrating a plethora of damage-mitigating factors (AC, DR, etc) to physically inflict damage, is overwhelming. The sheer amount of reaper-related (and champion) abilities are numerous enough to vaporize anyone at a second's notice; the slightest deviation of attention, the slightest inconsistency in your optimization, the unluckiest (and most common) pulls of enemies all frequently result in your becoming of a soul stone. With the meta supposedly favoring those in the back-lines, and the stereotype for melee nearly desolate because of this; how could a melee possibly not only survive - but effectively perform - versus adversaries of this caliber? The solution is as effective as it is momentous: overpower your opponents with a build that is as devastatingly destructive as it is invulnerable.

I have a question on your Molten Silver Gauntlets and the Fleetfoot necklace where did you do it and what do I need to get them to the stats that are in that google Doc? I have them both bound and attuned but do not know where to go from there. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You might be waiting for a LONG time for an answer.

Miracles are possible, though.
