Offhand ds caps at 100% anyway, right ? 100% is not that hard to get with some bonuses from GmoF and Shintao. So no need for Perfect TWFTest the offhand doublestrike proc rate and you'll see what I'm talking about

This build doesn't have artifact bonus to PRR, instead it gets 30 profane PRR from the Legendary Dread Isle's Curse set. If you really wanted the artifact prr you could use set augments to slot it in.

Sorry if this is a newb question, but I don't understand why you're taking Harbinger of Chaos. I thought it only gave you a benefit if you are chaotic alignment? Or are you taking it just for the 2% doublestike?
Yes it's for the double strike. You always want to get as close to 100% double strike as possible in your build, including buffs.
Dodge is available at level 1 if your DEX is 13+ at level 1. When using Fred it takes into account your base stats at a particular level when determining if you are eligible for a feat. So if your base DEX is below 13 at level 1 you won't be able to take Dodge at level 1. This includes tome bonuses which are level gated and the attribute point you get every 4 levels.

Heads up as of September 2023 appears to no longer be true unless I am missing something.

Yep, it was changed, likely as a result of people pointing it out and the right people finally catching onto it

Last I checked, TWD only works if you are actually using two different weapons at the same time.
Edit: checked it again just now and it seems to be providing the MRR cap with handwraps too. Weird.

Two Weapon Defense was revised in Update 48.4. They combined the old TWD bonuses with Two Weapon Blocking, then added +10 MRR cap on top. I think that was also when TWD started applying to handwraps.

Unbalancing strike in Shintao tier 2 removes sneak immunity, so it's not neededhi,newbie question,why no

It could be higher, but monk isn’t a high dps build. 260 should be enough to work with
Cool,thank you.
Can someone elaborate on this? Sorry if I'm being dense, but I lack the art of subtlety. Is 2% DS really better than an extra 15% offhand DS?Test the offhand doublestrike proc rate and you'll see what I'm talking about

Sure! Wraps are considered full hand items so they receive full off hand effects as well. So offhand doublestrike does nothing because it's not an off hand item.
