Many thanks for all the feedback, there's a trove of information to digest, and I am getting convinced that Forbidden Fist monk might be the way to go.
Just three very naive questions:
- How well Forbidden Fist monk gain wound for WoW, particularly with Hylea's Talon trick? Since they only gain 1 wound after 1x Talon's dot expired?
- I understand the Keeper of the Flame trick (very cool indeed), but I am not planning to get the DLCs (have already done two playthroughs and didn't feel I need more 'gameplay'), so I don't think I would have access to it. But I assume Hylea's Talon is still probably good enough to be mostly on WoW without too much down time?
- I had the idea that I would be using double fists (since it'd make use of SC monk's power level well), but reading all these it looks like weapons are still the way to go. Are there no viable fist builds?
