I wasn't overly worried since in that SS it was just first bladeforged life to see if it was worth the investment.

When I get back to my final bladeforged life, I'll absolutely be leveling:

level 1 pally
level 2 wiz
level 3-18monk

At this point I've gotta LR before I can take the fighter levels.  (iconics are fucking obnoxious in this regard)

Looks to be no-save, by description, anyway.

Garbage ass build, fuck outta' here. Put this shit in your momma's big ass and never remove it.

now you're trying too hard.

The couple survivability bumps in Shintao aside, how do you feel Void Strike matches up against Empty Hand Mastery?  There isn't a whole lot I like about Henshin tree, but Void Strike alone seems like it'd be worth consideration.

Curious if you've used it/how much mileage you've gotten out of it.  I'm assuming there's no hp limit on it still, and it's practically a 5% chance to autokill something, plus doublestrike/twf.  Even for something you can't erase, a 10d6 strike *sounds* like it shouldn't come up that much short of Empty Hand damage-wise for bosses.  Main difference being free automatic damage versus ki/clicks.

I guess my question is if people have played much with Void Strike since the enhancement pass and how viable a damage dealing option it is.  Even though the tree is devoted to QStaff, I'd think unarmed would get the most use out of it (unless they nerfed it into the floor like Touch of Death as far as only hitting once).

in short, offensively, void strike is not worth giving up shintao's DR bypassing, 10% off hand strikes and 1d8 fists.

Also void strike isn't the neat thing in Henshin, it's balance in dawn that's far more tempting.

it's the livewood.

Antipode, maybe?

Munkenmo's build is really good and I enjoy them a lot.

However, BF 16mnk/2ftr/2drd is the FotM build atm even though it requires both a LR and an alignment change.

What works in wolf form also works outside the wolf form, for handwraps users.

BF Monks don't have any reason or need to stay in wolf form

Hes referring to an exploit. Info on it is public on these boards.  Its a nice damage boost, but given what im willing to spend on ddo now, im not building round it.

The double strike boost shares a counter and cooldown with haste boost. Its useless imo.

Pretty sure we pulled one that run, maybe a ghost cloak too.

The brits are pretty good at the luck sometimes.
