wouldnt ranger 12 beat everything out now?
my hybrid is 12 ranger for bow and shuriken crit threat.
And for the noobs saying 6 monk doesn't make 10k worth it: do the math.
At end game I'm running around with 50-54 (if I eat cookies) Wisdom. That's 100-108 Ranged Power during 10k. That' 50 Average full time RP. But since its a burst build in FoTW, 100 half the time suits it better. That is worth 6 Monk levels by itself, but on top of that, I still get 30% Doubleshot during my bursts.
Sure, More doubleshot is nice when I'm chucking Shuriken, but with ~70 Dexx2, Main Hand Throw, and Doubleshot with 6 monk that's around ~80% during 10k, even additional 30% Doubleshot from being 12 Monk just isn't that material, since I'm already throwing 100%+140%+80% = 320% at 6 monk. Adding 100% RP to that during 10k with Adrenaline and Sniper Shot seals the deal.
The extra ranger levels for feats and Crit threat on bows and shuris are way better, as are the Ranger trees versus the garbage Monk trees.
Saying you shouldn't take 10k on a thrower is insane (post most recent changes to 10k). Saying you should forgo 12 Ranger for more Monk levels for negligible Doubleshot increases is unwise, IMO.
