Carpone, what is the feasibility of splashing 3 levels of druid for Fatal Harrier?
Are APs too tight for it?
If there is a way to squeeze it in, I'd think its a great DPS addition.
How would you re-arrange the build to include this?

That's what I think too, giving up 3rd tier Hamp seems like a fair deal to me.
Although I'm a big fan of even levels. So, it will feel kinda odd to go 9/8/3 over 10/8/2.
Currently leveling with q-sticks and Henshin Mystic, which is tons of fun.

You have to take 12 levels of Monk to qualify for Improved Martial Arts.

12 monk gets you a lot over 10 monk or 10 fighter, but pally saves and DM are so good...

The way the new system lets you take seven different trees at once does multiply build choices, I'll give it that.

QMX said U19 augments were coming to the store "soon" a week ago... I dunno why the delay.

It can work as long as you replace Empower Heal Spell with Magical Training for unlimited Rejuv Cocoons.  Wings are addictive especially when blitzing.  Personally I wouldn't consider this split until I can get a 138 Ruby of Devotion and +15 Heal augment to make up for the lost Positive Spell Power.  Unfortunately those augments are extremely scarce right now.[/quote]


Originally I was going to stick with the build that you laid out because it is very well planned and well thought out. But I had a few different hearts of wood laying around and thought I could test out the 12 monk 8 fighter split when I Tr'd knowing I could use a heart of wood to go to the Druid levels if it didn't work.

I have been using an item with a topaz of power in it to give me spell points  for rejuvy cocoon. My ADD must've kicked in somewhere because I took the second level of monk stances as a feat and didn't look ahead to realize I could've gotten them for free with 12 monk levels so that will be the feat I swap for magic training.

I have to say that I have held my own in this build. Yesterday I was level 23 doing epic hard wheeldon quests. I didn't die and I was killing things without struggling at all. Of course I did run them with one level 28 and a level 26. I was complimented on the survivability and the damage of my toon being that I was level 23 running level 27 quests.

So, thank you Caroline for sharing this build and allowing someone like me that has played for just over a year and is still trying to learn about custom building. Prior to this, the monk class never appealed to me but the versatility the class has allows you to be almost any type of character you want.

Damn auto correct...thank you Carpone, sorry about that. LoL.

That's what I get for typing that message out on my phone. I was trying to give him props not disrespect him. I hate autocorrect. I'm dumb enough I my own..I don't need autocorrect's help lol.

He said on the other forum he already abandoned the sireth idea?

As I said previously in this thread, I have a 12 monk 8 fighter version of this build and I absolutely love it. I have almost all the gear though some of it are epic hard versions. Right now I am destiny farming for my last couple fate points so I can twist stand in stone.

I just acquired the guardians ring last night and was told that not all 24 of the prr will stack with a planar conflux...that I would only gain 10 additional prr. Does anyone here know if this is true?

My next question would be that since I do not have the Druid levels and don't have the empower healing spell feat, would adding a devotion augment in the red slot if cleave help make up the difference of not having the empower healing spell feat? Cleaver does enough damage without an elemental damage augment. Please forgive me if this is a noo bush question. I have played nearly as long as a lot of you guys and am trying to learn.

Thank you for answering my question and helping to clarify the prr stacking issue. I really appreciate it. Now if I could just find those greater convalescent bracers of superior healing ill be all set. Right now I'm wearing the EE manacles of ceaseless toil. I slotted them with a topaz of power 200 to give me the spell points I need for rejuvy cocoon. I will have to play around with my fear to move my str and con around.

I am wearing the epic charged gauntlets because I can't seem to get the nethers grasp gloves to drop for me. I like the lightning strike on the charged gauntlets but that's all the gloves are doing for me. I'm probably better off wearing the pdk gauntlets for the healing amp until I can find those bracers. I just don't know where my best chance of finding them is. Hound of xoriat has Kevin's bracers but those are only 20% healing amp if I remember right.

EH/EE Backstabber's Gloves are way better for most melee IMO than Nether Grasps. There's so many nice rings now I really don't want to have to slot Avithoul.
