I'm going to have to pull your big boy card on this. Going straight to ad hominem arguments as usual. Your posts are littered with red herring and fallacies. By the way why the fuck are we discussing monks? Clearly 12 barb/8 arti is the superior build. I'm a beast on my toon suckmydicknemo, I don't rage so I can use my repair light spells and my doggy is my main source of healing. Here's a template https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/426994-BYOH-Barb?p=5118840&viewfull=1#.... GFY, you elitist prick, I'm from Wisconsin and know the right way to play this game. Why? Because Gary Gygax that's why.

I was channeling Chai using his favorite catchphrases. I am so misunderstood Sad. Starkjade is smarter than you two. Yeah I hate Chai. I'm surprised even Turdh is arguing against Chai on the sundering thread.

Only thing I can think of is the Cormyran Knight Training from PDK (...as long as your Charisma remains higher than your Strength, you receive a bonus to the DCs of your Tactical Feats equal to 1/3 your Charisma modifier.)

But I don't know if that would help or hurt, being PDK.

Hmm I'd completely overlooked PDK.

Thanks goes to distributed for letting me copy paste his tables without permission
Wisdom        Charisma        Quivering Palm
  • 18      wisdom
  • 7      levels
  • 5      tome
  • 3      epic feats
  • 11      item
  • 4      ocean stance
  • 5      insightful (shintao void dragon)
  • 1      exceptional
  • 3      class enhancement
  • 1      PDK
  • 3      actionboost
  • 2      ship buff
  • 2      yugo
  • 2      store pot
  • 3      alchemical potion
  • 5      ED
  • 2      Acute instincts twist
  • 2      bard song
  • 1      twist
  • 4      profane (abishai cookies)

         
  • 84      wisdom (37 base)

  • 18      cha
  • 5      tome
  • 10      item
  • 5      insight
  • 1      exceptional
  • 1      enhancment (racial)
  • 3      actionboost
  • 1      enhancement (henshin)
  • 2      ship
  • 2      yugo
  • 2      store bought
  • 2      alchemical
  • 4      abishai
  • 2      song

               
  • 58      cha

  • 10      base
  • 8      monk levels
  • 37      wis mod
  • 8      third of cha mod
  • 3      gmof core tactics
  • 13      shattering item
  • 6      exceptional mastery
  • 3      Kensai
  • 6      legendary tactics (twist)
  • 2      Epic Tactics (ED Feat)
               
  • 96      First life Subtotal
               
  • 1      completionist wisdom
  • 3      fighter pastlives
               
  • 100      Highest possible Quivering palm

I splashed 2 fighter for PDK.  it's cost me 2 capstone wisdom and 2 quivering palm DC's. 

I've made that up in saved AP's by getting 3kensai tactics and evening out my cha and wisdom. The DC overall is the same, but splashing fighter nets 2 extra action boosts.

No, that's 1/3 of your cha score.

Is it worth it though to go shortswords, because the PDK dc doesn't work with wraps?

I dunno I like wraps.

Also how hard would it be to find sundering shortsword to go along with Celestia.

Er, Starkjade is correct... PDK is 1/3rd of mod. 58 score = 24 mod = 8 bonus. PDK tactics bonus is not *that* great.

bleh, stupidity moment ><

Sham, easiest bet is probably a drow shortsword for +10 or shattering dunrobar.

Stunning mod doesn't factor in with PDK since you've got fuck all str and have to have weapons equipped for the 1/3 cha tactics.

This was purely theory crafting anyway, I wouldn't make either build focusing that strongly on wisdom.

You "forgot" using imp sunder first for +3 to effective DC.



I WILL say, I'm thinking about doing a close-to-max wis build since it benefits EiN as well.


I was even considering going pure. I kinda still wanna fit in Ocrit.. But, then it's hard to fit in completionist feat unless I go human..

Still playing with it. I have 2 more pally lives to go before I'm ready.


As an aside, I thought max heal amp would be funny.

30% Human
30% Monk
25% Jidz
20% gear
10% gear
10% Ship
30% Gear
15% Past Life
10% Finger
= over 500% incoming heals. lol  Kinda fun.

IF human is 1.1*1.1*1.1, and monk is 1.05*1.05*... etc., then the total max is something like

1.1*1.1*1.1*1.05*1.05*1.05*1.05*1.05*1.05*1.25*1.2*1.1*1.1*1.3*1.05*1.05*1.05*1.
1=536% Or possibly MORE depending on finger necklace still working weird. Although, I have one on my pally, and it doesn't seem to matter what order I put my gear on. So, not sure if it's still working that way or not.


that's 8HP per hit on your light curse. lol. *1.9 offhand for 15+ avg heal per attack on an unarmed monk.

Plus the finisher would be like.. alot.

EDIT: 11d4 base* =27.5 *3.5 (250 SP)=96.25*5.36healamp=515.9 Cheesy:D

*Woodfist thread a guy said 15d4 for light finisher, but wiki says 1d4 plus 1d4 per two monk levels.. So, 11d4 seems max, no?

Also, you get 8 more ranks of Heal for your epic levels, so 220 positive spell power, not including GH/bard song/good luck augment.

And I *think* you can get 13 or 14 shatter or stun on lootgen wraps, so there's a couple more DC.

Looks like it'll be pretty damned hard to kill, assuming you're in melee range and have appropriate dodge/displace/incorp.

I believe you are correct. I have been chain TRing, so I haven't seen lots of the high end loot. I've seen 12s. But, I've heard they go up to 14s if you're lucky. I'll be on the lookout when I'm capped fo sho.

I had a set of +13 shatter wraps up for auction on Sarlona, and it took WEEKS to sell, so it's likely that few people (if any) are really looking.  It's a serious pain in the ass to search through since the full value only shows in the description, but it's probably worth looking through the pawn shops and AH, especially since last weekend was +loot.

Best ones on Khyber AH or SHAH right now are +6s

Well...

My main is currently 27--almost 28 pure completionist human monk.

Wis is 60 in Mountain stance with Yugo Pot and shippies.

Qpalm is 75 with +11 wraps. I haven't found better yet.

I can self buff to 74 wisdom temporarily for EiN, putting that DC at 65 next level.


Only 64 PRR in mountain atm and 11% dodge. I also have 111 AC in whiterobe.

Still playing with gear though.. I think I really wanna get a +3 wis blue helm.


Also, i REALLY need a +ki item on. I don't know WHAT munk is smoking that he doesn't. I might still try running in fire sometimes for ki. I never seem to have enough. YES I use the GMOF clickie when it's available.


EDIT: Haven't touched stormhorns yet, though. I did all of Wheloon. (I got EE Shadowsight on my first EE run of Mirror Darkly.  Cool Cool Cool)

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

Speaking of Pure Monk, thinking of re-doing Arkat.

Currently he's an 18/2Ftr split WF with 3 past Monk Lives (4 Monk lives total). 72 QP and 77 SF DCs.

Want to either go pure and make him a Bladeforged or go 16/2Ftr/2Pal and stay a WF. In either event, I want to TR him three more times for the three Fighter past lives for the +3 to my QP and SF DCs. I could always stay an 18/2 WF and just get the three Fighter past lives too.

If I go the 16/2/2 WF route, my saves go up by +7 and the QP DC will wind up being 74 and SF DC will be 80. Enhancements would pretty much stay the same as I wouldn't put any APs into any of the Pal trees. If I went BF with this split, oh boy, talk about a headache! Too much good stuff in the BF tree to not get which would cause problems with my other trees.

If I go Pure, my QP DC will only go up to 73 and my SF DC will rise to 78. I'd also get all the Bladeforged Reconstruct/Forge buff goodness. I'd definitely have to change my Enhancements though but I wouldn't have to worry so much about spreading my APs across so many trees.

If I stay 18/2 and get the three Fighter past lives, I'd have a QP DC of 75 and a SF DC of 80. I wouldn't have to really change gear nor mess with my Enhancements.

There are reasons to take any one of the three paths. I'm just not sure which one I'll take.

I'm currently leaning towards the 16/2/2 path, however.
