Hi all, been asked a few times to post this build so here it is.
Overview: Dual weilding toon capable of a very high ac, good saves, good ab and massive damage output. Period. Some concealment thrown in for good measure via Empty Body monkey feat.
Subs to use: Planewalker or Half-Kyton (Human)
Gonna use Half-Kyton since it the most ideal subby to use.
Uses Handaxes!
Starting Stats:
STR 8
DEX 18 --> (22) (Take DEX every stat increase)
CON 11 --> (15)
WIS 14 --> (18)
INT 13
CHA 8
Lvls/Feats
Lvl 1 Half-Kyton starts you with Dodge, Mobility. At character creation take expertise, toughness.
Pretty basic from here on out. Take all wm pre-requ feats asap. Once you have the required feats take offensive feats such as improved crit, wep finesse, two wep fighting, ambidexterity, and so on.
Note: I had these feats by 20th lvl. Dodge, Mobility, Expertise, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack, Wep Finesse, Toughness, wep focus Handaxe, Blind Fight, Improved Crit Handaxe, Two wep fighting and Ambidex.
For epic feats pretty basic and easy. Take Blind Fighting, Then what I did is take Great Con I to get base Con to 16. Then hit up
Improved Two Weapon Fighting
Epic Prowess
Epic Wep focus Handaxe
First Bonus Monkey feat take Armor Skin
Then keep pumping out the Great Dex feats and for any bonus Monk feats, take Improved SR.
For skills pretty basic, +4 Intimidate asap, then pump tumble, disc, concentration, and I took lore cause I usually pop loot and Bank I like to id stuff hehe. I take 1 rank in PP as well.
1 in Disable Trap, 1 in Open Lock. . . why? I dunno cause I like to take high levels and fetch lowbie loot for new chars at times. Comes in handy. Purely optional as far as skills go.
I took Concentration to refute taunt from Abyssal mobs, Matron s and the Immortal. I'm bet'n Hell mobs will taunt as well so Concentration is a good skill imo.
W/O dex artifcat and any buffs AC will end up being 133
Empty Body will give you 70% concealment
Sr should be 75 at 60th. Not sure how viable this amount of SR will be for the hells but most def is handy if you're doing the desert.
Ab should be max'd out at 75 while dual weilding.
That is it in a nutshell. Didn't have tons of time to lay out this build all nice and neat. (Nice, damn and neat) But this is your basic teeth cleaning Monkey. Once you hit lvl 29 you can use the rare Handaxes, the damage capacity becomes self evident
Oh, and using the "Your taint shall be cleansed!" voice set is totally optional ;D
