Monks + Dangerous implements?

[Eliteseraph]

I'm at work and this idea popped into my head just now:

 

5 monks and 1 chanter, all moon godlike, with various wands/rods/sceptres and the feat dangerous implement. Will the dangerous implement skill trigger wounds on the monks? Between the chanter and moon godlike heals, I'm envisioning a roaming band of shooting death that blasts CC on anything that gets near.

 

Is this even going to work, or am I just bored out of my mind and thinking crazy?

They will get wounds from Dangerous Implement. But most of the monk's abilities only work in melee combat: Force of Anguish, Torment's Reach and so on. Swift Strikes works as far as I remember and of course Turning Wheel. But I don't see where the CC comes from.

 

Or will you switch weapon set then?

 

If you just want to get wounds quickly at the start of the fight: just shoot your monk in the back.

Ah...that's right. Have to have a melee weapon or bare fists to use their abilities? I knew there had to something I was missing.

Yep.
