Trying to force myself to finish last 3 martial lifes, so while hard thinking what i would most prolly play i came to staff builds.
They are always fun, work well in dreadnought due to att speed and should have fun synergy with palie.

So i trd to a bf palie went up to lv 18 as a 15 palie 2 rogue 1 monk, figured why not grab gr earth stance since i got enough feats anyways.
Now the issue i came up to is that im locked into monk rogue palie alrdy, not a issue at all but what to do with last levels.
Options: 15 palie 4 rogue 1 monk, stance no iron fist no shintao prr but killer, got enough ap to get the t3 kotc light damage, assasints killer maxed qstrike melle power power of the forge.
Thats a more offense oriented build tho with dstrike, should be around 20 killer 12 belt 9 plife  5% epic des feat 25 qstrike 10% zeal (possilby ligt mace) so around 81% dstrike.
Also with kotc light damage the att speed gl blows and endv blades it could and should be fun

2nd idea is 15 palie 3 monk 2 rogue, more defense focused with light finisher, mainly grasp that is important and shintao prr in earth stance.

Third idea is 15 palie 3 rogue 2 monk, more sneak skills nothng in particular, but possible to get more dodge cap increase this way.

Now i lean toward the max dps split with 4 rogue, but what would you guys do?
Is not a ee solo super efficiency build, its a force myself to play while having fun with blitz and sireth then etr 3 times the first second i hit 28.
Could be ee viable tho, dont see a issue with it.

What Munk said. My stick toon became a lot more survivable swapping to Addy armor. I took Fighter instead of Monk, but both work because it was purely for the feats.

I definitely saw an improvement in survivability (and hence fun) going 15Pal/3Rog/2Ftr in heavy armor than I did my last life doing a very similar split to Haek's build. I'd consider a Monk splash only if going Dex-based, and I still don't think the pros outweigh the cons.

4Rog/1Ftr might be a superior split but I haven't tested it since I've been focusing on other projects. I really wanted the +3 tactics from Fighter anyway.

One of my guild mates played a Zeus clone for some time.  He always said that he liked the Zeus build better then Cetus.  Good luck.

Heh its past lifes pack, i got all prr plifes, palie stance, earth stance prr ring earth stance prr twist, couple it with planar set and prr from power of forge and dreadnoughts prr it becomes rather massive.


IF you want a prr evasion toon i will suggest the palie tree build.
12 monk 5 cleric 3 palie.
You get earth stance prr, stance prr, past life prr, item prr, and 50 from being in tree form alone.
I know i could reach 200+ prr easy with my plifes while having 30% dodge and no fail saves beside on 1s.
I mean i agree that harmor is the way to go, but there are couple builds out there that abuse prr with evasion and dodge so much that its stupid.
Yes harmor is they way to go, but there are couple specific cases where you can laugh at harmor builds

Thanks, I appreciate the breakdown. I have a tactics monk I'm planning to TR. Maybe I'll grab a few epic past lives first before I decide what to do with him. I'd like to have at least one toon that's not wearing heavy armor and I wouldn't mind seeing first-hand how the tree build performs vs my wolf toon.
