I was thinking about a 16monk/4 warlock aura / qp / melee build, but that's not going to work without wisdom to hit / damage which I don't see anywhere.
Looking at the alternate stats, ninja spy is a big disappointment, dex won't work unarmed, int might work with the harper tree, but isn't really worth the AP investment (+ feat for insightful reflexes). Ranger is the obvious one, but keeping aura means giving up QP, or keeping QP means giving up aura.

There is no build that can't be 2-shotted, so the most important thing is avoiding getting hit at all.
It's a pity it seems like the devs still haven't changed damage reduction to be counted after PRR is applied. As it is now DR is pretty useless.
Damage mitigation:
Looks like from enhancements the best dodge cap is:
tempest +3 cap
ninja +3 cap
Shintao Ocean +5 insight
halfling +3 (looks really shit when compared to human though)
(ED +3 GMOF)
Miss chances:
Non Halfling:
Assuming AC is still useless:
Dodge 34, concealment 20, incorp 25 = 60.4%
Dodge 34, concealment 50, incorp 25 = 75.25%Dodge 39, concealment 20, incorp 25 = 63.4%
Dodge 39, concealment 50, incorp 25 = 77.125%
Halfling:
Dodge 37, concealment 20, incorp 25 = 62.2
Dodge 37, concealment 50, incorp 25 = 76.35
Dodge 42, concealment 20, incorp 25 = 65.2
Dodge 42, concealment 50, incorp 25 = 78.25
Pretty much rules out Ocean stance and Halfling. I can't believe we're still working towards a +34 effective dodge cap, that hasn't changed since I left. Pretty disappointing really.
If 2 shotting is the rule it completely rules out Auras in EE / legendary though. for aura to be effective, you need a mob. With a
35%-25% chance of being hit, if you get mobbed you're dead.
There goes my idea for a 16m/4 warlock qp/cleaves/spring attack/ aura build
. It could be solid on <EE but everything is solid on EH down.
Next drop in levels is down to monk 12, in which case I'd go for 12monk/4fighter/4ranger.
Differences between my suggestion and 5 Foot Steps' :
- I would drop a weapon focus to pick up the dodge feat if it's still a pre-req for the dodge chain in Ninja spy
- I wouldn't pick up contemplation (ergo the anything else in Henshin Mystic), since fire stance looks like the go to stance now, Instead I'd get the MRR & PRR from stalwart defender.
- Pick up I2WF as a fighter bonus feat rather than ranger grant.
This is dependant on Tempest enhancements working with handwraps after the update. If they don't I'd drop ranger for rogue.
