I have a defunct Godhand build that I intend to resurrect as a Staff build. 13 Rogue/6 Monk/1 Druid looks pretty strong to me. Is the argument for the 12 Monk variants pretty much wings+earth stance crit multis?

You should be in Master Earth stance regardless of how many Monk levels you have.  It's worth the feat slot if you have to purchase it.

12 Monk is for wings and the additional movement speed.  The Theif Acrobat Vault ('wings') sucks donkey dick now with the amount of crappy prereqs it has.  It's also a slow cooldown.  You gain more ki than you know what to do with when cleaving.  It seems like a natural combo, especially when you're blitzing through a quest.

Improved Martial Arts for Sireth is 2.75 damage per swing, before crits.  I believe it's the best DPS option for the level 24 feat slot.  Level 21 should be OC, and level 27 Epic Damage Reduction.

Derp. I completely forgot about being able to take higher stances as feats now.

So then movement speed + wings versus more sneak attack + access to Opportunist? That's tough, as I am a speed junkie, even if the latter option does seem like better DPS.

wow.  lot's of good info in here guys.  Thanks.

My very first character has been sitting at level 15 (ranger 11/rogue4) for years now and I'd like to do something like this with her.  Turn her into a staff-wielding, sneaking, self-heallng solo character.  But my build skills suck: can you guys help me out?

She is currently a Lawful Neutal halfing, 32 pt build, +3 tomes to each stat.

Sireth vs Dreamspitter vs Stout Oak on this build?

I'm guessing stout oak till you can grab one or the other, sireth for red/purple named, and piercer for trash.

Input on this?

All Sireth all the time.  It's got a 14-20 crit range with Imp Crit and (Henshin|Acrobat) Tier5.  Also, Sireth has FoM and Shadowfell casters love to hold you.

It is almost certainly not optimal but picking up a woowoo and rotating GCleave/Cleave/QStrike/Lunge/Sweeping and throwing in whateverelse you have according to your build is a load of fun.

If it worked on crits, you bet.  Ruby of the Endless Night is crap.

Hmm, forgot you're not getting five squillion attacks per second as you would be with an un-armed build. I assume you've managed to test it out on Lama, so is it any good with Antipodes or Adamantine Knuckles? I still don't have Antipodes, but am already starting to dread losing my grave-woo once I do pick them up on my unarmed build

Of course, I'm a moron. As stated I don't have Antipodes yet so I didn't even think of this. Seems like it could be fun to try in the knuckles though, although I assume No(Carp)one's bothered testing it if they have Antipode as they're plainly superior.
