This build started in the character build discussion thread as something I was looking for. I noticed there weren't any pure Dexterity Monks with Zenythri-- they were both strength monks. Decided to go with DEX monk for those of us with less of the UR/BUR/Asmo gear.
Anyway, this build is a 40 Zenythri DEX Monk. It's adapted from Lastone Yusee's Stargazer Monk he posted in the character discussion thread. I've leveled mine to level 48 and It's a blast to play. The damage bonus is wonderful (and bludgeoning is some of the best), and the keen helps landing criticals more often and balances you out with those nasty STR monks.

I haven't leveled this to 60. However, I do know it can hold its ground very well in all of the pre-hell areas so long as it doesn't get flat footed (Save Feywild, the Planes, Toyshop, etc - haven't tested it there).
Comments and Suggestions please. I'm interested to learn of how I did with this! ;D
