I would replaced improved disarm and even disarm to something else.

In fact, build is not very tough. Disarming requires few attempts. I don't think, this build will be able to keep blow long. IMHO, it is better to kill foe instead of disarm.

I think about Improved initiative and even superior initiative (epic feat). I'm not sure, but if initiative works as should, it have to give your character more chances to hit first. Because this build is ultimate damager, his attack can be first and last. As minimum, after your first attack foe have to be significantly injured.

This certainly looks like it would put out quite a bit of damage. But is it a glass cannon? Or can you get decent AC and Saves on it?

you're not gonna get high AC out of this build but for PvE content AC isn't super important when you get towards the higher levels/end game content.

My saves are (Fort/Reflex/Will) 22/25/18 at their base value with 428 Hit Points I am however using boots of striding +7 for that extra 7 constitution which bumps me up to 548.

one could argue that disarming the foe would make them easier to kill by making them less of a threat BUT having said that the build doesn't rely on disarming it was just to fill a couple feat slots so they could be switch out if necessary. plus I already get KD and IKD from monk levels so didn't need feat slots for those.

FYI, disarm doesn't work at all on any of the monsters, it's for PvP only.

to be honest with ya mask i'd never tried using it on the monsters. i always build with a little bit of PvP in mind. plus like i said earlier i didn't really know what else to put in there as i didn't need to use feat slots for KD or IKD so they filler and can be switched if desired ^_^.

No chance .... People build separate, highly optimized builds.
This means that in most cases PvE build never win in duel with PvP build.
