Hi there,

I'm returning to active play! Having tried a monk at the low levels and enjoyed it, I decided to convert a well post-cap character. I think I've covered all my bases, but I have many unspent points and am looking for advice as to where they should go. Thank you in advance!

140 is a very nice emergency DS spell, or, if you have enough mana, a spell to wear all the time.

I would highly recommened more MOC. Also, depending on where you roam some survival ranks would make sense.

Why 44 ranks of Ambush? 1x or nothing is my opinion, but I don't have any primary ambushing characters.

Agreed with more MoC (extra FoF protection!) and Ambush...

First Aid & Survival are both good things to have...

Could always up your Arcane Symbols and/or Magic Item Use for longer durations per use...

140 is nice to have, and I think going up to 1240 may also be useful, both for duration, and extra MTD from 1208 and extra DS from 1220, not to mention extra CS...

No need to 1x ambush if you're aiming from the open. Anything over 40 and you're probably going to be seeing really high diminishing returns.

Do you mean to say that Ambush in general is worthless at my level, for open aiming, or that .5x is sufficient?

Not that I have a problem with getting rid of it. Always other things to spend on. :)

He means that anything over 40 ranks might be pointless. Honestly I suggest you go hunting and see how you like your aiming. No idea where you like to hunt but when hunting cerebralites in the rift I found that 40 ranks wasn't enough to aim as reliably as I liked.
