Stick to your Barb, its actually worth a shit.

Axer says barbarians are the best dps. My barbarian lives left me wanting.... Dps wise even with sos and esos.  (Please no one make the twf comment.  If you wanna twf make a blitz build it is far superior.)

Thanks, been playing them since they were released.  You can cycle more then 4 moves at a timeI know what you are thinking, "it isnt possible".  I assure you joe slappy, it is.  Also, if you are fighting a group of mobs - you should lead in with "shintao laser eye beams" or however you referred to it, not mix it up in an attack chain.

22 hp, whoopdeedoo.  Still useless. 


1. You can cycle 5 basic strikes yes.  But with the 4 moves cycled in epics they come off of timers at 4 moves. Over time this is superior to cycle the 4 over any 5. 
2. I assure you If you could read my mind you would stop arguing due to the knowledge imparted onto your being with the realization you are indubitably under experienced for this conversation on the monk class.
3. I can assure you cycling the eye beams with their massive WILL save DC is going to speed up your epics even in a fight not just leading into it.  Of course it is a ranged attack and can be used to lead into a fight also.
4. Are you that bored at work? Maybe you should go to Meridia and shout in advice not to build tier 3 of your greensteel hp item because it is "Worthless"
It might pass time for you.

Name two feats more useful then 44 hp. (Honestly I could take the pally past life feat for the divine favor but I find clicking titan's gloves and Madstone boots before switching to Ecorrosion boots enough.)

Cleave, great cleave, paladin past life, stunning fist/blow, hell even soul/sorc/wiz past lives, sf:umd, and many others.

If 22 hps are so important, why not swap out the TWF line and get 66 more?

unfortunately the cleave series lowers your dps, barbs have cleave only because the prestige line requires it.


(your other recommendations were much better than cleave/great cleave and depending on build/playstyle may be better than extra toughness feats)

Hmm...never much enjoyed melee so I'm behind the curve there. I thought the cleaves were supposed to increase DPS against large groups

In theory yes. In practice not so much. I think the attack animation cuts into the dps. TWF suffers from cleave also, in my understanding.

The attack animation is kind of fubar'd, so you actually end up losing DPS unless you're TWF and surrounded by a tight packed swarm of minaturized Kobolds.

Just glancing blows alone will make your regular swings good enough (edit:  with THF, obviously) at dealing with swarms that Cleave isn't needed and Cleave really sucks at actually killing things, so any potential extra DPS even against tightly packed swarms will end up being fairly pointless.

It's really disappointing that the Cleave line isn't actually useful in any situation that will really happen in DDO.

I was annoyed with his obviously ignorance trying to poke holes in my build.  It was off color and I shouldn't have made insults.

I wasn't apologizing just saying normally I wouldn't throw sticks.

"his obviously ignorance" WTF is that? Learn some fucking English. If you're going to make fun of someone not knowing something then expect the same in return.

I meant he's obviously ignorant or his obvious ignorance but I combined them happens when you are not really paying attention.
Congrats on finding a mistake. A single one.

What mistakes?
Please stopping making yourself look like a fool on my build thread. 
If you don't have anything to contribute please don't post. (Humor is welcomed etc.  Trolling is not.)

Ex.  You made a comment about how anything under the sun would be better then another toughness which is foolish (Because there is nothing better) and degrading (The way you said it showed your obvious thoughts it is stupid to take more then one toughness even though it is the most effective route.) to my build. Then you blame it on ignorance of melee classes. 
If you are ignorant ask for knowledge and it will be given.  There is no reason we cannot be civil.

In that case, have I got a build for you!

Monk 20:
Race: Warforged
S: whatever
D: whatever
C: 20
I: whatever
W: whatever
Ch: whatever

Feats:
1: Toughness
1M: Toughness
2M: Tougnness
3: Toughness
6: Toughness
6M: Toughness
9: Toughness
12: Tougness
15: Toughness
18: Toughness

As an alternative build, you might consider taking levels 7-20 as Fighter or Paladin so that you can get more HP.  Also, Human is a viable alternative to Warforged in order to take the free Human granted feat Toughness.  Half Elf with the Barbarian Dilettante may also work for you if you can deal with being a Half Elf.
