[QUOTE="MwaO, post: 6853386, member: 12749"] No. I think most of the Monk builds that were up there tended to be really subpar compared to the newer meta. Namely, Monks were one of the top-tier strikers because they could combine Quicksilver Motion+minor action for Damage Boost+move action for Dance of the Stinging Hornet+MC Novice Power Swap+PP E11 of Death. And Lion's Den was actually a decent Twin Strike substitute for good at-will damage with Centered Breath. So 6 attacks by 11th and then 7 by 13th as a nova. Where the damage boosts were either WereX+Claw Gloves or Sarifal Feywarden, the Paragon Paths were Demonskin Adept(E11 Demonsoul Bolts) or Shock Trooper(E11 Shocking Twister), the power swaps Flame Spiral or Rain of Blows. Win initiative, move speed as free action, minor for doom, jump a little as move action and get an attack off, and then do 6 attacks in some kind of way. And then Lion's Den+12 Con+Centered Flurry of Blows can do a lot of damage because it triple taps as part of the attack. [/QUOTE]
