@Boeroer Sadly Community Patch isn't an option on the new Xbox version. New question. So I've used int as a dump stat. Is that going to kill the usability of skills like Torment's Reach and Rooting Pain? Will the Int from Duality of Mortal Presence be enough to mitigate it, or should I rebuild with higher int?

@Boeroer How sure are you that lightning strikes works with Forbidden Fist without the community patch? I am reading the description and it says +15% Action Speed, +15% Damage dealt as Shock with weapons for 10.0, Quick for 10. sec. So, wouldn't the shock damage only apply to weapon attacks?

I may try this. My first Xbox play through is using her as a single class priest and, at least in early game, she's basically useless after a few casts.

@Boeroer Thanks that is some great information. I've started the play through and I see what you mean with the 15 MGT in early game, but so far I am managing. Once I get enough levels to use level 7 spells, I think I may buy a mercenary and try the Paladin/Monk idea that you recommended. Which Paladin subclass do you think would be best? Also, I can confirm that lesser wounds is not an option for Forbidden Fist on the Xbox version.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that small shields would increase my accuracy. What are you thoughts on 15 Might for a forbidden fist?

*Notes: I am playing on console, so no community patch to change FF to a weapon skill.* I am aiming for a high deflection single class forbidden fist that will also be able to put out good damage and use the forbidden fist ability fairly frequently. I am planning to play on veteran or POTD with a full group. 1. My character attributes look like the following at the end of character creation. Have I made any big mistakes? To me, it seems like MGT and RES could be too low? Human Race MGT - 14 CON - 10 DEX- 15 PER- 18 INT - 3 RES - 18 2. I am primarily going single class Forbidden Fist specifically for Whisper of the Wind. Is that skill worth it/viable using a Forbidden Fist build? 3. I saw a dated thread that recommended Beguiler + Forbidden Fist? Is that still viable in the current game version? How would that setup compare to a single class forbidden fist in terms of single target and aoe damage output? 4. This question is unrelated to Forbidden Fist, but I was also considering a multiclass Inquisitor( Paladin + Soul Blade.) Has anyone had any success with this setup? Any build suggestions like attribute setup or optimal subclass selections?
