	I decided to use quarterstaff for melee lives a long time ago, before I stopped playing. I came back this year to find that THF got a nice buff, and quarterstaffs were not completely useless. I'm pretty sanguine about any upcoming nerfs - I find DDO better if I simply enjoy nice things while they last. This is not an endgame, high reaper, or raiding focused build because I suck at all three with my whopping 16 or so reaper points and miserable hand-eye coordination, but the goals are: Monk past life using quarterstaff Decent trap skills. Since I'll be wearing pajamas and lacking PRR/MRR, try for a bit more dodge and maybe play with spring attack. Sniff some flowers along the way. I had no interest in pure monk, since the trees are so handwrap focused, and I had heard that everything stacks from Acrobat and Kensai, so I hope that's true. I just bought a +8 tome, so enjoy the first taste of my money since 2013, SSG. I still don't feel the slightest bit bad about all of those +3 tomes for bank characters from the dice cruncher, and the reduced tome drop rates only solidify my utter lack of regret. I've got most of the L10, L15, L21 and L29 gear that I think I'll need, along with a fine collection of quarterstaffs. I also have some old handwraps on my L26 monk, and I figured that stunning fist and the first tier of TWF were an investment I was willing to make for variety, but it's not something I want to do all the way to level cap. I might respec to T5 falconry for a few levels just to kick the tires, but I don't have any racial points or anything like that to spend. Without further ado, would you be so kind as to tell me the many diverse ways that this build sucks, and how it could suck less. Keep in mind that it might only see level 30 for a few minutes on the way to the reincarnation grove, and if I don't enjoy it, it will TR at 20.

Not a lot of super good options for level 28 if you don't have the DC for Mass Frog. ...of course, if you DO have the DC for Mass Frog, then that's the one.

	5 Foot Step wrote on Jul 30^th, 2020 at 3:35am: Guardian Angel seems like a wasted feat. Thanks, I struggle with Epic feats as I don't know which ones are actually useful. I could go Mass Frog, although I would need to wear a Transmutation item. Elusive Target and Holy Strike seem to be okay, but nothing jumps out at me. The other dilemma I've faced is whether Cauldron of Flame and free Grandmaster of Forms makes 18 monk levels worthwhile. Does Cauldron add value on boss fights, or is it a gimmick / noob trap? It looks large enough in videos to actually be useful. Getting Cauldron would mean giving up on trapping and having to take Swords to Plowshares as a feat. Since I can't succesfully search for a lot of EE traps on my current Wis-based splash, I am willing to give up the 3 rogue. If I drop rogue levels, then I think the Serenity capstone offers more than two fighter levels, with +4 wisdom, +15% attack speed (which I would otherwise have gotten earlier from my rogue levels), and +1 crit. That would cost me enough feats that I'd have to decide between TWF/Stunning Fist, and Mobility/Spring Attack. Ideally, I'd like to build something fun to play that I can get two epic past lives on as well as a monk life. What are your thoughts on pure 20 Henshin? I had a lot of fun taking a pure 20 dex-based rogue acrobat to cap, so I'm not too worried about running optimal flavour-of-the-month builds.

	Do something like 8/6/6. It works out for heroic leveling because you can take all of the low hanging abilities from TA, Kensei, and Henshin. i would stay dex based since the ap is too tight to use shintao tactical attacks, and dex gets better rogue skills to get traps and doors in heroics and epic leveling. The fighter levels are really just for feats, BAB, and later on Opportunity Attack, but that comes online late heroics. Fighter and Monk get every single feat, ever. First 6 ap into TA grants full +15 attack speed, Swords to Plowshares + dex to hit and damage. Grab haste boost, quickstrike, strikethrough from TA. Get henshin t5 around level 12 or 13 for the aoe vorpal and heal. I would go light monk just for healing ki attack in combat.� � Edit: Or go 12monk 6 rogue 2 w/e. If you value abundant step more than kensei feats and 20MP.

Seeing 15 monk levels, I assumed you were going to use Quivering Palm, but maybe not since looking back I see you didn't take the + tactics DC in Kensei?

Seeing 15 monk levels, I assumed you were going to use Quivering Palm, but maybe not since looking back I see you didn't take the + tactics DC in Kensei? Is Elusive Target something that only is worthwhile for EE and low reaper? I don't see this character doing more than riding in someone else's backpack as a soulstone in high reaper. I have an ancient L26 pure wisdom-based Shintao monk that fails quivering palm all the time, along with other attacks like Jade Tomb in at-level content. I'll definitely think about that if I run a pure wisdom-based monk in the future, but a 15 monk like I first proposed loses a at least 4-5 on DCs (capstone, 2.5 DC lower with only 15 levels of monk). I could go in for stuff like Kensai Tactics, but I can't use Stunning Fist with a quarterstaff, so I don't see much point in making a heavy investment in tactics feats and enhancements to give me debatable effictiveness on Quivering Palm. I decided to adapt what Rubbins suggested, but switched to getting a fighter life out of the way while I think more about monk. Currently at level 4 with a 7/7/6 dex-based fighter/monk/rogue, mostly going for the Acrobat tree, with some Henshin and Kensai if I have points. I've never played fighter, and there is nothing I've read about the playstyle that interests me, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. That will give me more time to research and play with monks before my next TR in a few months. I loved my monk and clonks back in 2010-2013, and I want to actually play as a monk when I do that life. I'm leaning towards a pure wis-based 20 Henshin for my next life after this one, knowing that it will be far from optimal, but is reportedly fun to play. That is assuming that THF isn't nerfed entirely into the ground by then. Then I can play with all of the toys, including Cauldron, and have decent DCs on the monk abilities.

I don't see this character doing more than riding in someone else's backpack as a soulstone in high reaper. The value of Elusive Target scales upwards as difficulty increases and therefore the amount of damage it helps you avoid in a given hit approaches your Max HP.
