If you're planning on use puissant and unarmed, you dont want to take focus in unarmed. You'll want all the weapon feats in two weapons and only improved critical for unarmed.

Ralkain, I'd take expertise/ imp expertise for tanking, providing you can get your AC high enough (70+) to be any use. Called shot is most useful for run'n'gun builds, not so much melees.

Unfocussed is better for WMs. depends on the final ab for the build, going unfocused means you lose 1 ab, if you can live with that its nice for the extra damage

I must admit I don't understand what causes a build to be focused or unfocused and why folks perceive focused to be better, it would be nice to know if I need to remove WF/WS unarmed and switch it to a weapon (so I can restart now at L5).

Thanks for all the help guys, I updated the build at the bottom of the first page of this thread and created a new thread with its title and levels for everyone else.
It's called Champion of Tao.

It looks like perrits 1st build is the one folk are using as a basis for a kama dual wielder - am I correct? If so are you just replacing the Unarmed feats in the list with the kama equivalents? Human still the way to go ... and any other feat changes recommended given the build was put up 5 years ago? Do 2 weapon fighting and ambidexterity need squeezing in, and if so at the expense of what? TVMuchly in advance

TVMuchly in advance If I was going to use that build as a base for a Kama monk I'd swap out Luck Of Heroes for Ambidexterity and drop Epic Reflexes and ESF Parry For Two Weapon Fighting and Improved Two Weapon Fighting.
