Splashing monk into sorcerer/pal build worth it?

I have played many versions of my sorcerer (3pl wiz,sor,fvs) but have no experience with monks.
  I was wondering if splashing 2 monk levels for evasion and 2 MA feats would be worth it or not.
  Also any benefit to staying "centered" on a sorcerer?

I'm not a fan.  Without 2 pally you're not going to have that great of a reflex save.  And if you go 16 sorc you're better off 2 pally 2 fvs imo.  Though I'm not convinced losing losing knockdown immunity is worth going to 16.  I'd either go 2 pally for more def, or 2 fvs for more offense.

Thanks Charon, I think I had delusions of saving against everything with the pally saves and evasion. I'd immunity totally escaped me as I've been taking it for granted

There isn't too much knockdown in U19, not sure about U20.  Mostly the giants in breaking the ranks.  But even with the knockdown there, WGU is still a lot harder and you'll benefit a lot more from the saves.  16/2/2 sorc/paladin/fvs is the split I would suggest for most people.

I've done the FS splash, just was thinking of something different. Probably over thinking it.

If you want to solo new EEs and not chug pots, the 2 FvS splash is required.  If you don't care about soloing stuff, I'd still suggest 2 fvs but with the 18/2 split instead.
