It came down to losing some DPS (the Precise Shot bug) and 2 DCs on my Stunning Fists with the 18Monk/2FTR build versus some nice defensive abilities, sneak damage of the Ninja Spy, higher Dodge cap, and some other things that my Pure build has. I was able to mitigate some of the DPS loss somewhat with re-slotting some augment slots, the sneak damage from Ninja Spy, and adding a Deadly +10 item so the net result was much better defense (+7% more Dodge and Shadow Veil) and about the same DPS. The self-Reconstruction is nice but with 250 spell points, I can only do about 10 between rests. This is about the same number of Silver Flame pots I might consume between rests if I were doing something like tanking the SR without a healer but with the Recon, I don't suffer the -10 to stats and slowness thing so it's better than the SF pots. I also didn't want to exploit by taking advantage of the Precise Shot bug mentioned above. Anyway, I am pretty happy with the new Bladeforged Arkat.� � Very nice sir! I JUST yesterday got mine back to 25. I iTRed into a Helf from a BF. I'm doing 18/2 monk/druid. I'm going pure wis (no cleave --> O.crit) for QP DC. I took FTR dilly for the +2 tactics. I'm relying on that extra 1d6 sneak dice in wolf form for the dps increase..... ( ) If the "sneak dice" gets fixed, I'll go to pure. For me, I LIKE the slow/steady vamp/Light curse healing with cocoon and FoL finisher as big heals when needed. I still need some gear. I need a littany, a +3 wis helm maybe.. (I might just wear +3 Spiderspun as I already have that) Most of what I need to run is shroud for shards for.....

The difference won't be very significant. But, no O.crit. I've already calculated that O.crit ends up being like <18 dmg per hit on my build. So, I just need to make that up with 2 druid. the 1d6 sneak means I only need to make up 14.5 somewhere else. I'll figure something out.

	I finally dusted off my monk who's been shelved since Beguile was "fixed". He's sitting at 16Mnk/2Ftr/2Drd. Is the 2 Drd splash worth it anymore? I'm focusing on Wis and tactics. I've been hitting EE pugs lately and been doing well enough but I really need to optimize him for the harder EEs. QP is close to no-fail in EH, but not good enough for EE, whereas my SF is sitting at 70 or so for EE. Helf with 3 Monk PL.

That's 3 ftr PLs too, twist from LD for 6, run in GMoF for 3, Cloak for 6, max wis, etc. The druid splash actually is decent for the trip thing as a wolf. Though, I'm not sure vertigo items even work.. they are supposed to I think.

	BTW, my personal best for taking down EE Sobrien as fast as I can solo/selfbuffed is 41 seconds. I'm curious how that stacks up... That's stunned, madstoned, raged, etc. Oh actually, that does NOT include sense weakness since I don't have that twisted.

	Now I'm enlightened and will be trying some things out. The next question is whether I can stomach a couple more Fighter PLs, though now I think it might actually be more fun, and definitely quicker.
