Fixing a huge mistake - how far to go?

A while ago, while high on ambien, I used a +20 heart to turn a perfectly good bladeforged monk into a terrifying monstrosity of gimhood. I have no resolved to fix this issue, but am trying to decide exactly how much it's worth to me.

Right now the character is lvl 15, with 5 wizard/5 fighter/5 monk, and infinite levels of "what the hell was I thinking?"

So, I can either burn a +20 store-bought heart to turn him back into a pure monk

Or Burn one of the free +5s they gave us a while back and make him just 10 monk/5 wizard(ultimately 15 monk/5 wizard)

I am aware both of these are sub-optimal, but the wizard/monk split sounds like fun(Edlrich Knight for tensers, displacement, etc)

THoughts?

Power through it. It will be decent.

8 Wiz extended tensors/displacement + sp for reconstruct. < get this last for epics

6 Fighter kensai/stalwart < get this first

6 Monk Shadow Fade + imp earth stance < get this second


Was that what you were trying to do?

So...

Noobfag fails @ DDO.  Uses an excuse(Ambien...FUCKINGLOL!), and is so made of clulessness and fail that he's asking random stragers on a message board how to un-fail; essentially only delaying the time at which he'll fail again.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Not a day goes by I don't ask myself that same question.

The original idea was do dual-wield bastard swords while being centered and using the EK permanent tensers.

The problem, of course, is that you can't get the top-tier kensi AND the perma tensers, so I was trying to do something stupid and poorly thought out(Kids: don't do drugs).

ATM the split is just completely un-playable. I seriously cannot make it work. I just meed tp decide if its worth burning a +20 heart to make it go away or just a +5 to get into something mildly interesting.

I feel your pain.  I've had similar probs when I was using LRs to move a toon all the way over and got interrupted by real life. When I finally got back to it I was baffled.

If you are going to +20 or something, do a p2w build you normally couldn't get close to. You can always do a bf monk/pali. Try this:

P2W Swashy, BF max+levels int, stats per feats

<snip>

The 17% double strike on celestial docent isn't available in light or cloth. Heartwood is also an excellent choice.



So the final split is 14 fighter/3 rogue/3 bard? Bladeforged that'd be fun, hmmm. Doing the split as 15 fighter might be a bit easier just because I'm not entirely sure how the +20 heart will handle things, but I do like the idea of doing a P2W build Tongue

Only down side is I wont get to use all of my monk gear from last life Tongue

The heart wants you to have only 3 classes at once. So you copy over the first 13 levels with fighter, so by level 13 you are 13 fighter 1 x 1 y.

Then change x and y to rogue.

This means you are always only a max of 3 classes.

PS: I made this build because of your 5-5-5 split and I don't know which levels are which so I didn't know what other options were available due to heart limitations.

Do you have these?

Axe of Unseen Blow > LGS Vacuum handaxe

I have neither of those and am unlikely to obtain them. I need a build thats workable from 15. I will play him to 20 and might get to 25 or so, though its not terribly likely.

Just play it as a centered kensei and you'll be fine. 6+ in fighter and 6+ in monk. Grab Master of Stances and Sting of the Ninja T5 in kensei and run in earth stance. Not having tenser's is not a big deal in heroics. You can scroll it later.
