Thank you.
Twf/Itwf/Gtwf
Power attack
Luck of Heroes
Monk past life
stunning fist
Rest of feats take as toughness
-TWF/ITWF/GTWF are obvious.
-The first Toughness is a great choice. More Toughnesses are certainly good, but other feats will often be better.
-Power Attack is outstanding.
-Monk Past Life is nice while leveling, but what will it stack with? I honestly don't know the answer to that question. If you end up with gear that increases your unarmed damage dice, what will you end up dealing at level 20?
-Luck of Heroes is probably the best of the Shintao required feats for the way that I like to play, but Combat Expertise can be nice for the right people.
Improved Crit: Bludgeoning looks like it's missing from your list.
Paladin Past Life is outstanding. +3 to hit and +3 base damage? YES PLEASE!
If this is the "best" Monk build on the entire server with a +4 tome, 3 Paladin past lives, etc., then I'd think you would want to save a feat slot for completionist.
I don't know how things will turn out with increased saves on Epic critters in U9, but I've seen a few people take Stunning Blow in addition to Stunning Fists and have good results with it.
My list of feats for the Bestest Monk EVAR
TWF/ITWF/GTWF
Combat Expertise for Shintao
Power Attack
Improved Critical: Bludgeoning
Stunning Fist
Monk Past Life
Paladin Past Life
Completionist
What? No Toughness?!? That's right, you're so uber that you don't need HP. You're the best Monk on the server and all the mobs in every dungeon know it. They all just run away from you or cower in terror instead of attacking, so you won't take damage anyway.
