Search this build's section a few pages back, you'll find the info you are looking for.

Each point of wis is ~1.25 or more amortized damage on a specced out monkcher. Str is only 0.5 damage.

Pretty much what munk said, except cha over con if you have a divine might splash.

Ultimate water stance + Contemplation, t3(henshin tree) and maybe "enlightenment" twist.

Just telling the options available is all

Whistler, pin, fuck it most the time now.
It's totally ridiculous offense since Enh pass, Grim's and Dance of Flowers 95 % time.

It never occurred to me to go blitzing on my archer. Is it a better choice than Shiradi for long-term-dps enhancement (and CC) or FotW for bursty fights?

Depends if solo or duo, or if you have cc with you, if you have another fury for boss and can justify faster trash killing for lower boss dps,  or just wanna run hards for fast covs.
Almost everything is blitzable and faster, there is not a clear answer when to use fury or dread, but don't dismiss dread that fast.
I rarely solo new shit cause stupid 300 billion hp bosses, mostly with palemaster friend, but second half of WGU, Breaking the ranks and Lines of supply is still dreadnought.
I really don't like shiradi randomness, so never use it.
Try yourself, charging blitz is faster now it seems, trip, sunder doesn't need stupid pause to get count.

Yes, give up overwhelming crit or improved combat archery. Use your 1750 favor tome on an epic stat pre req.

Hi,

I would like to ask for tips too.

I have a monkcher, its copypasted sestras build:
https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/429975-Sestras-Build-Thread?highlight=...

I saw his solo fot video and I dont get it how he is able to do such massive dmg. I have never managed to have critical dmg higher than 2400 dmg, he is doing over 7k. Pls can sou give me some hints how to play monkcher?

My build is exactly like sestra - I miss only 2ranger PL, anf some others which dont matter and I dont have so many Epic PLs. My equipment is in dps point of view exactly the same.

Tyvm for any tips how to play it.

dex to damage is a poor idea, you're a whole critical multiplier behind a str based build.

With just arrows of slaying and a 400% increase from adrenaline, that multiplier is 1k damage before taking into account your own damage.

If your just starting out I recommend the 11ranger/6monk/3pally split
11ranger gives you IPS for free, 6 monk gives you 10k stars, and 3 pally gives you really good saves (I'm at 75 universal with half ass gear) and divine might for a whole lotta extra str

And the ki situation isnt a problem, you just need to get the 3rd tier of contemplation which is in the henshin mystic tree, (req is 2 monk lvls) as long as you use water stance while using 10k youll have plenty of ki left all the time.


really if you just try to get the feats that have a prereq of a certain base stat and you meet those stat requiresments youll be alright, specifically 21 dex for combat archery (gives +1[W] per hit)  42wisdom after all buffs for 4 arrows while using 10k, and put the rest into str, con, and some into CHA.
with this build you can just invest 14points into con btw, while at 28 im sitting at 1k hp while in water stance, so you dont need to worry about it to much

Some people also use the 4pally splash variant which gives you the turn undead feat so you can use divine might X times per rest instead of having to twist in bane of undeath, which it isnt entirely useful but I can understand why they do it, to be able to twist in more saves or something.

It might not seem plausable but if you go bladeforged you'll survivability it crazy good, which with monkchers that really be the only thing you need to worry about since manyshot+fury+slayer arrow is going to kill most things
