Ying, I love this writeup. One thing I'd like to see is a discussion on races. I'm digging Eladrin these days because of the Displacement SLA and the Eladrin Leap addition to SA dice.

The bite is a trap. Another button to push that doesn't do more damage than just hitting the mob.
it didn't help that much on a monk but I'm currently running a barbarian and the bite is keeping me alive through r1. it hits for about 500 for the heel which always works for me

Small query:
On the breakdown of ED's you've listed: Cores: 1-4 (Adamantine and Good are excellent bypass choices)
Trying to figure out why you've gone for Adamantine. Ki Strike: Adamantine is autogranted at lvl16 for a handwrap using monk.
Just an oops? Or are you swapping to a different weapon at some point?
As far as I can tell only crystal is worth taking. All others are covered in Shinto cores or Monk levels

This one was a transfer that I had not played in a long time (Years even because when I came back here I thought my original characters where gone since the last time I played Turbine still owned the game) So I rebuilt her following my transfer to Cormyr. I already had a stick monk there so rather than deleting her I decided to go fist. I hope I made the right choices for this one. Changing enhancement trees is not a problem if need be. Got 1 lesser heart of wood left that I found on her when I logged her in. So one shot at fixing anything else. The STR tome was done previously. Probably got that free from loot back in the day.

I'd drop the human points to pick up 31 in henshin for up to 5th core, and I'd drop the harper agent point to get 41 in shintao. Seeing you have 40 points there but not the capstone is painful.
I'll let someone else comment on more specifics but generally looks fine otherwise.

Not sure why you take shuriken expertise at lvl 18 on a handwraps build. Seems like Spring Attack would be a good companion feat to Whirlwind Attack.

Just can't help but think that losing the halved cooldown of Cauldron of Flame(core 5) may well end up biting you on the rear end.

Ok worked it in. Gave up Ninja spy tree and ended up with 2 extra points to give me a free rez from the top of the Shintao tree. At least that looked worth taking.

Yes, it should be Crystal. I'll update the guide in the near future with an updated screenshot.

Help my blue bar brain understand handwraps, pretty please?
If that weapon have 100% off hand strike chance by default, why do you take the whole two weapon fight feats? Just for the extra hp on heroic durability?

Wraps have full offhand *doublestrike*, meaning perfect two weapon fighting does nothing but give hp (unless you swap to a pair of debuffer kamas). The heroic two weapon fighting feats still give offhand *strike* chance, getting you to 90% with shintao deft strikes (100% if in wind stance with meditation of war, or wait until epics to get to 100% out of wind stance).

Silly question, I have always been a shintao or die kinda guy but with being able to keep cauldron up nearly 100% of the time and tier6 henshin giving 5 hit/dmg and 1 crit multi on 19-20 im wondering how this would compare to tier 5 shinato. It would be loss in quests on trash but should be a gain on bosses and raids.
