I'll be the first to admit, I've not min maxed Munk atm. This build has been made cause I used to love w/f and have been waiting for the day to come when they're good enough again. Through play I know my SF and QP hold up perfectly in EE. It's been alot of trial and error, but what I've given up in DC's and dps this life, I've definitely made up for in durability. It's not a build for new players, and it wouldn't be viable without all my pastlives.
You seem to be getting rather hung up on my dc's too. Bare in mind, like everyone else, I do swap into water stance and put on my alchemicals etc. before using EIN. I'm at most 2racial wis, 1racial enhancment, 3actionboost, 4 class & 1water stance (3 epic wis feats, lol) wisdom behind someone else, (5-7DC). It's a bit of a hit for EIN, but mines definately still usable. SF / QP wise, I'm on par with a max wisdom build, 2 ahead if you count shaken. Imo my wisdom score is the balance point between gimpy all wisdom and gimpy dump wisdom.
Re your gear critique: EE consuming Darkness is for the +5 combat DC's. Only places I can slot that is a ring slot, belt or cloak.
Given as you've noticed, there's a huge amount of damage mitigation / healing potential, I'm not giving up the ghostwalking cloak atm, that 15dr/evil is nifty now that I've lost my 10dr/epic
I'm still weighing up keeping spare hand and going for a HB tod ring, but I'll lose fear immunity, reinforced fists, 12seeker & 8int. I'm fairly sure the 3% double strike from the spare hand +holy burst ring would put me ahead damage wise, good thing I've got both.
Seeker is simply a byproduct on my build since as you notice, I've relied heavily on augment slots for stats. I'll be the first to admit though that I'd love to find a way to slot 6% doublestrike (atm I swap it in my boots after i chew through the shroud sp)
Damage wise I've got 3 rogue lives, 3monk lives, 3% double strike from epic lives (soon 6, then 9).
A fleshy may do more dps, but what I've gained in twists over them is awesome. No rejuv cucoon, no need for brace for impact. Their damage is a wash imo.
