Order of Syncletica - More Prepared than Paranoid

[TeacherSyn]

After the loss of my second character in Hardcore, I realized that I could prepare far more against certain attacks.
Depression is easy when playing there, so I'm weaponizing my fear with a better Zen Archer variant build, built more to my Ghallanda standard.

But just as I get her happily working at level 6, we get Update 49, and I have no idea how this may affect this all-Monk build just yet with all the changes to bow attacks.

The Release Notes had an accidental omission, which happened to answer my long-standing worry about what would happen to Ten Thousand Stars as I reviewed the U49 development.

Steelstar noted:

No. Not sure why that went missing from the Release Notes, will try to get it added back in.

The note should read: The Ten Thousand Stars feat no longer works with Bows; it now only applies its effects while using Shuriken.

Aha. So much for the classic "Monkcher" builds. But also I'm relaxed that starthrowers aren't penalized with at least this update for now. The damage calculations will still apply for Doubleshot, but I really didn't want to see the Ranged Power bonuses get nerfed because of how Monkchers used TTS in the past.

There's an opportunity for Zen Archery here if I can work out a plan. I'll have a lot of AP and feats perhaps that can be reallocated.
