I might drop Harper and go with the extra SA die, Dex, Sting and No Mercy from Ninja Spy instead.  Mainly because more often than not, decent high skull reaper groups have CC and any EE or low skull reaper groups are easy enough that the loss of non-helpless dmg from KTA isn't big a deal.

Rotation is Sniper Shot --> Head Shot --> Merciful Shot (when target is below 50% health).   

Between Imp Deception, Sniper Shot and the blind from Head Shot you're virtually guaranteed that Merciful Shot will be a sneak attack and qualify for the bonus damage.

What ever helps you sleep at nite good sir.. or madame, It? lets just go with It.. at least I wont offend your gender that way.

While you get the double shot to stay with you equipping a throwing dagger uncenters you as well. I never found it to be worth it but maybe macros fix the problem.

yeah, just record it on keyboard or mouse. swap to throwing dagger->hit rapid throw->swap to shuri->hit stance.

I was not aware there was a 75! MP boost set bonus available, as I'm only halfheartedly following DDO updates. This is quite good for between 10k's for sure, and I see why you suggested it now. This would be a good choice perhaps then for a 14monk split too if you have racial points to get into the Vistani tree.

Unfortunately (stupidly), throwing daggers uncenter you. I complained on main forums that this made no sense but of course I got ignored/shot down.

Don't forget the 20 doubleshot does not stack with killer from DWS (both are Morale) meaning you can either drop killer, or just be happy you can get the buff on single targets where Killer isn't feasible to keep stacked up.

Food for thought

Math goes here:

175.5 average base sneak attack (15d6 + 82 hide mod + 14 SoS boost + 27 from deception) * 6.22 (1.5 * 348 RP=522 effective RP)= 1091.61 * 4 (200% ANT/SE + 100% DS) = 4366.44 * 1.05 relentless fury = 4584.762 of just sneak attack damage per animation. (no helpless) * 2.75 (helpless mod) = 12608.0955


10.3[d2+3] + 21 enhancement + 47 dex + 15 KtA +19 deadly + 5 Advancing Blows + 4 ninjutsu + 3 monk PLs = 155.35 * 1.75 (crit profile) = 271.8625+27.5 (25 seeker) = 299.3625 * 4.48 (RP) = 1341.144 * 4 (ANT/SE/DS) = 5364.576 * 1.05 relentless fury = 5632.8048 red name * 2.75 (helpless) = 15490.2132

plus

9 Hemorrhaging + 10.5 CW Ruby + 30 sting + 4.5 quiver + 15 FC + 1100 glass shards = 1164.5 * 4 (ANT/SE/DS) = 4658 * 1.2 vulnerable = 5589.6

= 15807.1668 average red name damage per animation while auto attacking
x1.4 animations per second = 22130.03352 red name auto attack damage per second

=33687.9087 average trash mob damage per animation while auto attacking
x1.4 animations per second = 47163.07218 trash mob auto attack damage per second

It doesn't really matter, since I still want 11 in Vistani and the only other thing to waste points on is acrobatics or whatever, but I've been meaning to experiment and see if there's any trick to bypass the cooldown a la action boost -> cleave.

elusive target, pierce silver, and epic damage reduction? what is this garbage? you jump on the haterade wagon and then post this complete and utter trash? gtfo lets see some videos mate. nut up already you faggot bitch.

we know you crave attention, I'm sorry you feel like we aren't giving enough of it to you.

You're more likely to get the taken seriously and be given the attention you crave if you constructively participate. Like this:

Personally I'd swap 18 Wisdom for 14 and put the rest in Con for a little more HP. You can argue the HP aren't enough to matter, but neither is the 4 RP during 10k.

Pierce Silver I understand as it prevents needing to swap for much lower DPS in a fair amount of content and there's literally nothing else that's worth taking at 26.

Epic DR in this case takes him from 231 to 241 PRR, which reduces damage taken by just around 1% (30.3% to 29.4%).

If you think you have unlimited access to haste through pots or clickies, this is a toss up for me between some other defensive choices like an Epic Save (maybe Fort). I usually take Blinding Speed because it's simply one less thing to have to remember and keep buffed.

I do like Elusive Target at 29 over Harbinger. Harbinger even with 350 MP/RP is only ~40 damage a shuriken fully scaled. That's pretty insignificant honestly. Whereas 5% overall more effective Dodge/Dodge Cap from Elusive Target is a pretty big benefit for a feat slot.
