Wisdom:
* FvS gets wisdom or charisma to hit and damage from level 2, when using favoured weapons, and FvS class levels make up your main class.
* When centred, Monks get dodge bonuses, can activate stances (such as water for more wisdom and dodge).
* While defensively centred (light encomberance & wearing robes/cloth/no armour), they benefit from wisdom bonus to AC.
Strength:
* helps to qualify for power attack - generally precision is higher DPS
* helps vs carry capacity (ie to remain centred)
* helps offset spells such as ray of enfeeblement - not often cast at your level range
Other stuff:
* longswords cant be finessed
* need 17 minimum dex (incl tomes - 1750 favour?) For itwf
* 11 ap into shintao gets you +10% offhand, +20% healing amp, +20 PRR, +1 ac & saves, ki strike (fist of iron?)
* 2 ap into beacon gets you +10% healing amp, good hope (+2 skills, saves, damage etc)
* 35 ap into warsoul gets you crit mods & self cast haste, haste boost, perma blur, 5/- dr, + 10 AC, divine intervention, +2 wisdom, divine will, +10% double strike
* 31 ap into AoV gets you spamable sla's, archon shoulder cannon, debuff aura, +1 spell DC, caster level boosters, +2 wisdom
I'd focus on boosting wisdom, dodge, doublestrike, conjuration DC (commetfall) and evocation DC (orders wrath, blade barrier, implosion, sun bolt)
With 32 point buy in and no tome(s), I'd go:
Str - 11
Dex - 17
Con - 14
Int - 8
Wis - 16 + level ups
Cha - 8
Balance & heal probably for skills.
Edit - gearsets such as silent avenger + adherents (incl pinnicle ring and summoners googles), with sharn upgrades, might be a good place to start if you have either expac
