---I want your feedback on cons!!---

I would really love to see this build chewed on by you people. I want to know what you all think so I don't waste a month grinding it out between classes for no reason!!

Please tell me what you think,

Two little things...
1: I would go mnk20 pre epic, at the moment, your pre-epic AB is 13, pure monk pre epic gives 2 more AB and most likely more saves too.
2: Going with 25/1/14 combonation gives you an RDD bonus feat, and there is no reason not to jump on that. It will slightly ease the build's feat-tight nature, and does not lower total damage.

and if im correct by 60 you will have much more than 50% conceal, for instance iirc +1 /2 LL's at least so thats 60% probably more from epic lvls but i cant remember that number.
