I keep reading about a cloak of smoke. Is this a good item for my monk? Can someone link the recipe for me?

You might try a earthgrab cloak instead. It doesn't cost a lot of larges and has a +6 to con skills, which helps ki I think. The extra hps are what are important though.

I am guessing that they don't but I am not 100% sure. You could do airguard, or smoke. Radiance maybe a good choice too.

They don't stack.

Smoke II is nice if you have the larges. Radiance is good if you're a Ninja Spy with Tharnes, but comes at the costly price of six scales.

I'd go Earthgrab or Airguard, as stainer suggested, if you're light on larges. Nice thing (and bad thing, I suppose) about GS for a monk is that you don't need to worry about building weapons, so you might very well have the ability to accumulate enough larges for a dual-shard without compromising other GS goals.

Being a monk, i'm guessing you've got pretty decent AC, and really aren't getting hit alot... correct?

I would go with the HP cloak with con skills and the +5 AC deflection bonus with Heavy Fort... looks like this:

http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~delallea/ddo/shroud/cgi-bin/shroud.cgi?item=cloak&w...

guards are useless if you're not getting hit. With the AC, that frees up any Protection item you're wearing, and the Heavy Fort is always nice... get something epic with a Blue Augment slot, and throw toughness on it, and you've cleared your helm slot if your using Minos.

Oh and Stoneskin is good DR for when you do get hit. Cheesy

Unless the Monk is less than level 20, then ss is useless.

That is an expensive cloak to make. Stoneskin is not all that helpful for a lvl 20 monk. It would be nice if you are planning to TR into an exploiter build possibly. You can get prot +5 on dt armor, along with heavy fort if needed. I would make the cheapest hp cloak possible.

My Bracers add 45 hp and exceptional strength. Can I have another Hp item say Air/dex? Will the 2 work together?

No, it doesn't stack.

Are you an AC build?

Not really an AC build, dos more than anything because my strength is maxxed out. I'm really just trying to figure out what greensteel item will stack with the one I already have.

Honestly as a monk, your second wearable GS item isn't going to give you near as much "WOW" factor as your first one would.

I would advise taking a step back and looking at Epic gear and End game raid gear, and then planning what your final gear is going to look like, and then deciding whether you want another GS item at all or not.
