So far this build does pretty good tanking and DPS(with appropriate gear of course), but im really questioning dragon upper cut and open palm strike atm, Dragon uppercut is doing pretty nice as a single target though, but im not sure if I should just throw both of those out and replace them burning chi fist and dragon kick. Other thing i was thinking was replacing the lunge and the two recently mentioned with Mighty Leap, Uppercut(R2,Head Truama, and Haymaker(R2, Nullifying Punch). Anyone got any advice as to what I can change or edit.

First and foremost, I got rid of the dodge focus in favor of the crit focus. Reason being is that the advantage only effects BCR, Conviction, and Resurgence. Since BCR does not need a shorter cooldown and lasts long enough and Conviction has a short cooldown already, you do not need them to be shorter beyond having int. Unless you take Resurgence, that is wasted.

Secondly, you should replace Open Palm Strike with Dragon Kick--Not Dragon Uppercut. It causes a Knock Up, so some extra CC when faced against mobs vulnerable to it. It also causes Rush when charged, for more energy. The same thing goes with Dragon Kick. However, it also stuns, so it takes advantage of Sentinel Mastery. You could cycle the two and keep something stunlocked in the same spot for a good long while.

I also like Mighty Leap better for the built in Stun but you lose the Root TBL has. IMO just a matter of preference since they both get the job done.

Hey thnx, I have been playing with these build changes so far there is alot more versitiliy with it. iM still able to do the damage I want, but I have more control with fights then when i had Fotm and Open Palm strike. Also the INtelligence is working better than Strentgth superstated, but I have some strength modded just for a little extra damage.

Also side note, if anyone wants to use this build. Best gear to have for this is gear with dodge/avoidance,crit chance/strike, and cooldowns. It can also be ran as a tank or hybrid role.
