This is the story of how I took my monk build

that was declared a dumpster fire by the ancient

council of forum heroes and proceeded to solo an R10, ...
The advice you were given is good, and could improve the build, but the monk is pretty OP right now. You don't need an optimized monk build to be successful with this class right now.

These melee vs. ranged rants are legendary.

Some ranged builds do DPS. Even as first lifers. This build would get into a lot of trouble in a different quest, with tight spaces etc. Some ranged builds manage even situations like that one.

Only way melee build would not be as good or superior is if you would skip cc on it. Then you can cry that the melee dies when a ranged (even a caster hihi) build can just pew-pew far away (in theory, some mobs tele, do ranged / dot dps).

Ranged is way safer than melee. And the end fight of Sharn Welcome for example you can perch on the book shelf, kill the red names, and take zero damage.

How do I know? I did this last night on R10 with about 12 ounces of whiskey and a 5 mg edible in me. On my ranged toon of course, I was going to run through it on my melee next but I passed out and soiled myself.

Not taking anything away from the OP. I watched some of his video, he played smart and did a good job with what he had. .

Just saying you mammals need to keep it real, ranged toons are training-wheels.

Ranged has like 200-250PRR and 4k hp depending on the build
Lets say Most melees have 280PRR 5.5k HP

theres very specific scenarios where u die on a ranged but wouldnt on a Melee Like an R8 VOD Orthon

in 98% other cases u will survive a 2-3 hits and if you get hit as ranged in the first place thats a mistake...

whats the Point of being 30% tankier when u have a 2000% higher chance to get hit
