Might wanna calculate and add in what final AB/AC/saves values are, it's pretty vague and I know when I was new that was one of the important things for me in choosing a build. Regardless of what the saves are you might wanna think about a con arty. Rachugons and Aspirants are pretty common and will kill you on a failed save with just item level or basic monk immunity.

Urgh my math sucks but yeah good idea, I'll give it a whirl when I get chance lol. Will have to run it through test chamber when I get some free time, hopefully sometime before the year 3000 ;p (RL Takes way too much time up) I'll post the updates when I can As for the Con Arti, other than poison immune I see little use for it on a Monk, sure Poison immune is tasty for all sorts of Reason's, but I think on a build meant to utilise Stunning Fist a Wis Arti for an Extra DC as well as an extra point of AC (Not that you'd really need it on this) would be more useful. That is just my personal preference though. I know people will disagree with me heh Cata

Well, with a pandect you have max dc with this build. Taking a wis arty in that case would be pretty worthless, only netting you 1 ac, 500 temp hp a rest and a fear immunity you already had. Dex will give you 1 ac and ab in addition to blind imm and darkness. Con arty will make you completely immune to all poisons (except brach), 2 more con and the associated hp, 8 regen, breath of the beast, and a reduction on KD time. Remember monk poison imm is only item level (for balancing reasons I suspect) and using the arty makes you immune to any creature that bypasses item lvl poison imm. In the end, stunner or not, it needs to tank, and I'd be nervous tanking an aspirant and 2 rachugon without a con arty.

Wait Con arti gives reduction to kd time? Didn't know that. As for the poison immune, I've ranked an Aspirant with 2 Rachugons near me, it ain't that scary lolz. But yes I agree for a Jew player that added security of one less thing to worry about is not something to be turning your nose up at. Cata Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using ProBoards

Ok standing in the test chamber, with all the test chamber buffs this toon gets 92ab and 87ac with saves of 58/70/64. For the AB you can add 1 for +14 gear and a further +2 for Demi and double to give you 95ab. Ok yikes that is same AB as my BUR Monk with only 1 less DC on SF heh. I have no idea how to calculate the AC, etc to figure out what the max would be so don't even ask, but if some one else can do that feel free Cata

I'm glad you posted this build. It may not be for everybody, but somebody might enjoy this aspect of the monk class.
I think what I'd like to see is your build put into a chart form (I think that might help you). Keep the color in the chart if you can.

I'd like to get an final AB/AC and saves rating on this at 60. Just for new player comparison.

Will give it a go putting it into chart form, for the AB/AC and Saves I can build it in test chamber and post the stats from that, will try and do it in next couple of days.

Ok I've made the changes you suggested Tyran, if you want any more let me know, I'm by no means an expert at formatting on these boards but will give it a go Cata
