knocking the dust off a dex monk

so back when they did away with dark monk I made a ninja spy dual wielding short swords, dex build cause well pajamas could tank harry back then. idea was to have high attack speed, high off hand and high double strike chance. was running dual tiefling blades and used higher level toon to farm out tome of legend to farm out razorend for the 15 - 20 crit profiles.

sitting at lvl 12 banking 13 first life and was thinking about what to do with it. not the best at building multiclass builds. ive made quite a few fun to play but sub optimal builds. wasn't sure if it would be best to add fighter/kensai, ranger/tempest or something out of new rogue for a splash (never played a rogue, not familiar with enchancements before or after pass...)

thanks

If you're pure monk and max dex, I would convert it to a shuriken chucker. You shouldn't have any trouble getting enough siberys shards to swap out the feats.

Farm out a Snowstar and a Frozen Tunic.

Put the Razorend in your offhand and it will add the 10% tendon slice to your shuriken.

ok, so anything in your off hand has a chance to proc on a main hand strike ? never did quite understand the off hand mechanics. not that i mind but is that wai ?

and you talked about pure but it looks like the mechanic tree might have some nice perks for a thrower build ?

Some things do, most things don't. Tendon slice, sneak attack, armor-piercing, fiery detonation, sunburst, and others always transfer over. WAI? Probably, it's certainly no secret since chuckers have been running arounf with celestia for quite a while now. Some abilities are just always coded to affect both hands when slotted. It's no different than getting tendon slice from a dun robar ring if you think about it.

Rogue has good throwing stuff, but it pretty much requires a rogue heavy build. As a monk, the best thing you have going for you is the ninja capstone. You need to stay pure to get +dex, +2 crit range, and vorpal on your shuriken.
