FROM D TO S TIER - MY MONK THROWER (u73.1 pure monk thrower)

[Christhemiss]

This is an absolute banger of a build. It’s smoking hot, super fun. But heads-up, to pull this off as shown, you’re gonna need some specifics:
36-point build,
+3 Racial tome,
+2 Universal tome,
+3 Fate tome
x3 Destiny Tomes
(I am playing this on a toon with only 168 past lives, , and only 125 reaper points - its full comp friendly but you will suffer with bad stats unless you get lots of PL/reaper points/gear) Gear is the real MVP for any build).

Also fair warning: I did Tabaxi Trailblazer, you cannot do any other high dex race such as Elf or Tabaxi. Obviously, play a tabaxi trailblazer. IF you do another race you will need to not level as a thrower and use an LR or an ottos box

Build Features​

• 600+ ranged power when max boosted in reaper (without many mythic/reaper items)
• over 400% DS when boosted (5-6x damage multi)
• amazing defense for a ranged character (high AC, dodge, moblity, and conceal/incorp for low dif raids)
• 180+ to hit self buffed (more with party/reaper stuff/pots
• 120%+ fort bypass
• many debuffs (prr, mrr, spell resist, ac, fort, saves)
• with enough past lives it levels ok in heroics and great in epics
• decent self heals
• very strong gearset to work towards over time

Pros​

• enough defenses to take many hits in r10s
• great carry potential for reaper raids
• good uptime on boosts (and many action boosts)
• infinite ki in epics
• insanely fast speed with abundant step, monk speed, and trailblazer speed
• ungodly amounts of burst with the definitely balanced shiradi epic moment
• under 33 second worm kill solo (2.8 mil)
• extremely fun to play at cap and while leveling in epics
• enough to hit for 99% of endgame mobs with debuffs
• is not drow
• doesnt take deflect arrows as a feat
• doesnt take improved martial arts
• takes titans blood
• spends the correct amount of points in enhancement trees
• has a heal
• fantastic for raid solos/shortmans (will have some pics below)

Cons​

• rough time soloing in heroics (but still can, and its iconic so it starts at 15)
• heavily underperforms when lagging
• some mobs just become immune to your shuris for no god damn reason until you move
• build requires max tomes and minimum racial comp
• some raids you get absolutely rekt if you ignore a mechanic (like balor jump)
• gearset is aids to farm with multiple rare and raid items and set augs
• can pull giga aggro in raids if you have a bad tank
• heavily reliant on 10k stars/shadow double to perform
• needs a sentient swap for max dps (deadly rain when use action boost)
• is not razorclaw
• is not inquisitive

Getting Ki​

the only way to regenerate ki on throwers is passive ki regen and the clicky from GMOF. in epics, the clicky basically gives you infinite ki, but in heroics you will struggle to keep your ki abilities active on cooldown. prioritze 10k stars and never use the incorp thingy from NS. the only ki abilities in epics i used were cauldron, 10k, shadow double, abundant step, diversion, and the incorp clicky. you have enough ki in epics it doesnt matter how often you use these. tabaxi trailblazer is the mandatory race due to giving 1 point of passive ki regen which is needed at all levels

What Stance?​

this is an interesting question since the obvious choice would be ocean stance for the dodge and passive ki regen. in heroics, you need ocean stance for the passive ki regen as that is your bread and butter. in epics, i would recommend swapping to air stance because air stance gives an unlisted +15% attack speed to throwers that stacks with regular attack speed items. this allows you to animation cap, take power boost instead of haste boost in NS (because haste boost doesnt actually add any more speed when you are animation capped), and take the imbue dice in shiradi t4 at 26 (again, because you are animation capped).

Which Imbue?​

imbue is heavily dependant on what you are fighting. most of the time, i run electric because electric has the least mobs resistant to it while still not having many mobs immune. For electric immune mobs (kor kaza, for example), i swap to acid as that can still hurt them

Tips​

• make sure to use a deadly rain 5 peice filigree swapped
• make sure to use your many tumble charges to keep uptime on trickshot as well as to dodge big hits from monsters (doom reaper, tons of archers on r10, raid boss, etc). dodge is your main defensive tool and tumbling gives you 95% for 1 second
• make sure to use mark target on bosses and doom reapers to lower their fort, ac, and saves so you can hit them better and land your shadowstrike debuff (DC isnt great so need debuffs on tougher bosses to land)
• you are an incredibly fast and agile ranged assassin. use your speed as an advantage to kite enemies and group them up for aoes
• in r10s, remember you have a lot of avoidance and can pull off some crazy defensive work to save your group
• make sure to use the ki clicky on cooldown because you have lots of stable ki (each point of passive regen gives about 40 points of stable ki)
• combo trick shot, 10k stars, shadow double, and hunts end on a debuffed boss for a huge hit (highest ive seen is 493k no time stop)
• gem extra slot can also be insightful assassinate if you dont want the extra healing spellpower (i went form the devotion because my gearset is slightly different due to no jewlers kits and i had to adapt. i have less hamp so need to make up the healing somehow. id recommend the assassinate DCs instead for pure dps)
• the gearset set augs are interchangeable with md augs (fort bypass can be set aug, imbue dice can be md aug, for example)
• monk fast recall!
• make sure to not waste trance charges as they come back slowly
• shadowdancer epic strike is both an offensive and defensive tool. the extra untyped damage is very large due to your insane DS/RP and tons of SA dice. i can get hits of 6k+ untyped damage and remember this has 100% uptime. the t4 upgrade is also critical as it adds 5% uncapped dodge (defense) but the blind is also very useful as if any mob misses you for any reason, they get a no save blind for 5 seconds. a use case for this is archers in r10. they miss you a lot since they have bad to hit and no dodge bypass, and when they get blinded they cannot attack you and you get 50% extra dodge chance from blinded targets. huge clutch for r10s/raid solos due to trash becoming momentarily ineffective
• shadowstrike does enough boss damage that it isnt only good for packs (fatesinger still better single target. i prefer SD for all the debuffs, doublshot, and SA dice).
• in case you are wondering, yes the bloodrage does proc on ranged kill and the +5 damage works correctly.

now with all that said, lets get into the build...

just to end off, i had a huge amount of help from @Lominal with this build. really cool and knowledgeable guy, so i wanted to give my thanks and credit him for helping me. make sure to check out his builds. anyway, if you have any questions or comments, i would love to hear them. i hope you enjoy the build

 

[Christhemiss]

some solos/shortmans ive done with this build

 

[Mindos]

monk fast recall!

I never learned how to do this. I sit at my lunch table all alone, gazing at the cool kids. :(

But nice write up, as always! The shadowdancer blind tip was nice.

 

[Spook]

Any reason you took Watchful Eye without taking Shiradi Champion: Pierce Deception?

 

[saekee]

Only 168 past lives and 125 reaper points?

 

[Hobgoblin]

can you elaborate on why trailblazer is the only real choice?

 

[Christhemiss]

Any reason you took Watchful Eye without taking Shiradi Champion: Pierce Deception?

I took it in game, but had some small discrepancies with my build file and in game. looks like I didn't fix them all . will update OP, thanks!

 

[Christhemiss]

can you elaborate on why trailblazer is the only real choice?

I touch up on it in my section on ki gen, but tldr without tabaxi trailblazer you don't have enough passive ki gen to keep uptime of all the ki abilities

 

[Hobgoblin]

ok will look at it when I get home - what gives passive ki gen in tb?

 

[Hobgoblin]

I love shuri builds but get burnt leveling them so never stay long

 

[Christhemiss]

ok will look at it when I get home - what gives passive ki gen in tb?

t3 attune

 

[Fisto Mk I]

tabaxi trailblazer is the mandatory race due to giving 1 point of passive ki regen which is needed at all levels

Wrong. Any race viable, even clumsy BF i run currently, lol.
+4 passive enough for heroic, and for epic we anyway use GMoF clickies. 8)

unlisted +15% attack speed to throwers that stacks with regular attack speed items.

Unlisted specifically at live, listed in wiki.

take the imbue dice in shiradi t4 at 26 (again, because you are animation capped).

Only if you run Wind stance possible (and even with Wind arguable, need additional check), other way T4 Whirling Wrists is mandatory, and majority run in Water/Sun anyway for better Dodge or damage output.

imbue is heavily dependant on what you are fighting. most of the time, i run electric because electric has the least mobs resistant to it while still not having many mobs immune. For electric immune mobs (kor kaza, for example), i swap to acid as that can still hurt them

Really Acid is better, more mobs have Electric immunity/resist than Acid.

make sure to use a deadly rain 5 peice filigree swapped

Swapping annoying as hell, same as Tumble, and you lose DPS here because Quick Draw bugged many years... but if it you comfortable with it - sure! 8)
And... i see you have 108 DEX score, so you can change your double DEX raid filigrees for RP filigrees, because DS from SE and ANT capped at 100 anyway and you don't get additional benefist from it. Just add these filigrees to swap weapon, it add +4 DEX for trance.

make sure to use the ki clicky on cooldown because you have lots of stable ki (each point of passive regen gives about 40 points of stable ki)

^^^
This!

make sure to not waste trance charges as they come back slowly

Yea, HW trance is worst in whole game, HW really good only for bowser. Good for quests for less than 6 min complete time, other way it's mean you never use it exclude boss fight.
It's why many prefer use HM trance even with lesser benefist, but run all time. For my Pally/Monk, z.B., i just use perm-runned CHA trance. 8)

shadowstrike does enough boss damage that it isnt only good for packs (fatesinger still better single target. i prefer SD for all the debuffs, doublshot, and SA dice).

FS can be better also for synergy with Sonjar Rupturing Echoes for Kensei hybrids, but it's obviously not your case. 8)

Anyway, splendid builds, and i be glad run raids you leading again when lvlup Fisto to appropriate lvl...

this is a reference to... something...

[Jasparius]

I love shuri builds but get burnt leveling them so never stay long

Im levelling a HOrc one now on my main and so far its been fine. Plenty of quick kills plus Monk speed makes up for many things. The lack of AOE is a bit of a bore because you cant explode a pack but Snowstar does heaps of single target damage. And as a HOrc Im clearly not optimised.

I just have to decide if I want IPS or Precise Shot. Probably IPS because Im never going to be stationary for any amount of time.

To the OP, with that many past lives and reaper points youd have to try hard to make a bad build. Any half decent build would be able to solo most of everything.

The trick is making builds which work for low lives.

Also, Eladrin would give you 14 sneak attack dice for a bunch of time.

 

[Christhemiss]

eladrin is the other good choice for this and many other reasons. but leveling from 1 sounds terrible

 

[Hobgoblin]

eladrin is the other good choice for this and many other reasons. but leveling from 1 sounds terrible

could just go inq and be less optimal and switch enhancements at cap

 

[Fisto Mk I]

and be less optimal

Be more optimal and powerful, you mean?

 

[Hobgoblin]

i meant taking the feats for this build but taking inq enhancements to level

 

[Jasparius]

eladrin is the other good choice for this and many other reasons. but leveling from 1 sounds terrible

I guess it depends where you are in the TR train.

1 to 30 gives Epic and Heroic / Racial past life. 15 to 30 gives Iconic and Heroic past life. Your Iconic build only works 3 times, too.

Can get 6 (12?) lives out of 1 to 30.

Im up to racial past lives but still have a heap of Epic and Iconic lives needed, so when I do Iconic I will need to get Archetype lives which Im not overly desperate to do.
