This is my first time playing a monk and it is going to be interesting since it is a striker that dabbles in control. I have found that engaging the boss of the encounter is probably not where the Monk is going to necessarily excel, but potentially cleaning up or clearing the way through the others is.So, we are going through the Scales of War campaign reskinned for Eberron and my pimped out Elven Rogue Superior Crossbow Sniper died wishing he had a ring of feather fall after being knocked of a ledge from pushes from  consecutive hits from belly bow archers and failing my save. =( Fortunately, in the next room I was able to introduce a new character which I whipped up pretty quickly. I have changed him a little bit after taking a closer look at the class and feats, but here he is.Feats: For feats I am thinking of picking up Long Spear so I can extend the range of my attacks.  I think that will work with Monk powers, right? Plus taking the Pointed Step feat, but I am not sure if I take Long Spear prof if I even need the Pointed Step feat? I am also eventually considering Durable too.Powers: I am thinking of picking up powers similar to Endure Pain and Eternal Mountain that increase my durability.Let me know what you think or if I am missing something...Thanks all!
