if dodge is higher, then light armor would be better than robe vs trash. heavy better if not in le raid( i like prr vs rest of quests). robe vs red named for strikes.

swap all 3 take a hvy armor feat.

11/6/3 for fol access and frostbite. seems to be best split for dps.

5 Foot Step wrote on Oct 8^th, 2016 at 7:05pm:

for questing ap split :

13 harrier
23 killer
36 tempest
1 human
7 shintao


for kobold racing drop harrier and killer and take 2nd core of henshin. take ninjaspy sting of the ninja, any left over in nature's warrior for sneak.

no dod is garbage. mise well roll something else

Current wolf crit profile is 18-20x3. That is an effective base damage multiplier of 1.3 or equivalent to 30 melee power.

Proposed changes should enable 16-20x4. That is an effective base damage multiplier of 1.75 or equivalent to 75 melee power.

PRR and MRR aren't as good as they used to be. I for one welcome our new glass cannon rez fest overlords.

monk should do 20 seconds or less on u33 lama boss tests. the old stalwart+tempest versions cant sustain that on anything with 500k hps. there are only the monk versions, the kensei versions, and tilo's sneakzilla that compete at those ranges. the monk version being the fastest red name time of them all.

the kensei tier 5 version is very good single dps. but lacks dod. i wouldnt recommend a wolf without dod. ever.

the monk gets the faster single dps times and has dod. tilo's comes close to the same single times while also having dod and slightly better defenses while not losing any dps in hvy armor. and does not require spamming ki attacks to get those times. I highly recommend that version. too bad he took his post down.


I suppose monk can do cabal test in like 3-5 seconds. it will be now firmly in the same category as furyshot times for burst damage. but mostly sustained.

the shintao tier 5 version can probably beat the tempest time. but it probably will be very close. maybe 2-3 seconds on avg. if we had million hp kobolds then the shintao version would win out easily.



if ld vs ld :

tempest :
100 dstrike and 30 mp for 15 seconds 1k cuts



shintao :
10% off hand
70dstrike
35 mp 

have you calculated the number of attacks on something with haste boost, swf, 100 off hand, harrier, and killer?


u33 comes up soon. take your toons over and make a vacuum for faster kobold times. it will beat tf due to stacking vuln to 20 in first 2 seconds. try the shintao tier 5 then try the 1k cuts version. use the questing ap and not the dummy racing ap. let us know

another thing to test is pswf because Vorpal strike now works with wraps. and so should kta+on weapon effect items that were not working before. such as masque and gages.

it does stack. i could not fit both into the build.

grab harrier and some damage/sneak dice.
tier 5 kensei. (crit multi is working but not crit range. opp atk is your bff), 40mp.
stalwart stance, increase max dex cap, and 20% hp.

update: possible to drop WF:B for Dodge feat. switch out ap from item defense for improved dodge gaining 6 dodge to fill out the cap some more. also added dire charge. grab kta by taking points out from Harrier. stats should be str, con, int. starting with 13 dex for feats, assumes +4 tomes.

Things that work with handwraps that are supposed to work with unarmed are usually only doing so because not all handwraps are converting to weapons

for most. monk wolf got upgraded dps by a good amount. taking an actual build from the racing skeleton still makes for the fastest dps. Even with the non-racing feat and ap set up it should come in at 30 seconds or less. It can't do sub 20 like racing spec'd, but it beats any other build in dps. the ki attacks flag as basic attacks for DoD hits. 

dire charge should be in the build. Str score of high 80s reached by tenser, animal growth, ram might, 17/7/4/1 items, ELitany, pots, and max + all level ups. should be 90s with every thing and cookies. either way 80 str for brevity is 35 dc. Would have to drop harrier for KtA boost with 42 int being doable for 8dc extra. ~110 total dc.
