Just because you didn't build for enough PRR doesn't mean it can't be done. Assuming you intended to run that toon in mid and high skull reapers, it just means you built poorly

180 was a conservative case scenario. 200 is easy to hit. I have standing 172 PRR and 44 dodge without Blitz on a cloth armor DPS melee toon with exactly 1 epic PRR PL and 0 PDK PLs. 202 PRR with Blitz. 217 in Earth stance instead of Water/Air. 226 w/ 9 PRR from Reaper points. That toon also has around 1.6k HPs in Reaper with a grand total of 14 Reaper AP. Could have added a few more PRR with a few enhancement swaps, but 200ish seems to be good enough for up to R6/7. Am I soloing R6 with it? No way. Am I running in R6-10 groups and "contributing"? Most definitely.

So as a person that really does run mid to high skull reapers successfully on a low PL, non-meta DPS melee build, I still say the HP buff is a bad idea.

Also, DPS melee users should go for BOTH Silent Avenger AND Adherents set bonuses. At least that's what I've done on all my cloth and light armor toons. The fact that you don't is quite telling.
Correct that you can build for it and you should if you want to play at that level. But I will caveat that monk is a poor example.

I'd love to have both sets on my assassin (my main) but I also have hide, move silent, spot and assassinate to keep on at all times. I was just losing too much to get the second set plugged in. But that is to be expected as SSG hates assassins and just wants anyone who use stealth in anyway to just go away...
