4 first...I'd stay away from Circle Kick. It seems like a good deal, until you're fighting a boss, and his minions, in melee. You'll be constantly changing opponents, and if you aren't immune to sneak attacks, and the boss uses them, you'll be opening yourself up to them.

3. Dex builds, with finesse, will give you the best overall char. Stay away from non monk style weapons, such as the katana. These weapons will hurt you more than help. Kamas allow you to keep your ab set up, which for monks goes down in threes instead of by five. 36, 33, 30 etc, as opposed to all other classes going 36, 31, 26.

2. While you may slightly improve your ab, and weapon damage by taking fighter levels, and weapon specialization, you will ultimately lose out on SR for those four levels.

1. I'm not sure, but I think it starts at level 12. By level 13 you have SR 24 though, I looked at a stripped char for that.
