I'm guessing that the 2 Rogue levels were for Cartwheel Charge and Followthrough and the free Swords to Ploughshares feat. You only need 1 Rogue level for that, but if you're going to have 1 Rogue level, you might as well have 2 because what is that 19th Monk level going to give you? (ironically, what Monk 19 gives you is more run speed)

Yeah, agreed. It's a good capstone. If I find the loss painful I'll just TR again. My reasoning is: the character is plenty good enough already and isn't "finished" yet. The losses will hurt but I don't think the microseconds practical difference it'll make to my preferred play will hurt that much. But if they do, I'll TR back to pure Monk.

19Mnk gives you runspeed? I thought the final breakpoint was at 18? Hence my reasoning; 'Well, if I'm happy ditching the capstone I don't really need the other Monk level so I may as well get access to the extras 2Rog offers'. If you mean Shadow Walk then, yeah fair point... though when I'm on a pure Monk I don't use it because the visual is too fucking annoying. I used to use it in familar explorer areas but these days I mount a horse (fnar).

Hmm...i remember reading somewhere that mobs speed up to match the player. Dont really remember where though...might have been the wiki.

Ive noticed that sometimes regular mobs seem to speed up to ridiculous levels and i assumed it was because someone hit sprint boost or something. Like, ghouls in ravenloft, random stuff like that.

But about KT shadows, whats the best method to kite them, if you have no movement speed classes around? Can a ranged build with evasion tank the pit fiend while kiting? What spells does he use?

If anyone is feeling generous with info, I can't work out how to replicate using the PDK sprint without the charge count decreasing.
