My main and favorite toon is a WF monk.  He has two monk lifes and contiplating leveling a couple times of another class before I TR him for his third and final monk life.  My question is what class is really worth leveling a toon for the passive life feat.  Paly-5% healing amp~big deal/not interested.  Barbarian-10 hp big freaking deal-not interested.  NOW:  I was thinking about fighter for +1 to hit and was wondering if the the +1 to DC's works on stunning fist.  Also thinking about rogue past life feat of plus to damage on sneak attack.  Does that work even if you don't have any rogue levels?  So any suggestions.  Right now my DC on stunning fist is 39.  Any and all input appreciated.

rangers get a free +5 bark iirc, worth it if your getting to good ac.

Yeah, no kidding... if it isn't, man that just saved me a whole life on my theoretical TR work that hasn't even started yet.

The Ranger past life feats may be the worst of the bunch...

Paladin feat can be extended.  As an FYI.

Thank you to everyone for your help and input.  However some of you all missed that I am looking for the PASSIVE feat.  I think I'm going to start off with three fighter lives for the to-hit and +3 to stunning fist dc.  Since I have all the monk gear I'll try perhaps a 12 fighter 6 ranger 2 monk for my first life-I'll see how that goes .

Healing amp does stack, but it all stacks by multiplying, so it's significantly more useful for a Monk/HotD Paladin/Human/etc. than for a WF.

Three Paladin past lives at 5% each, 40% Human healing amp and 10%, 20% and 30% healing amp from items comes out to...
1*1.05*1.05*1.05*1.40*1.10*1.20*1.30 = 278% healing amp
Without the Paladin past lives, that same human would have gotten 242% healing amp.

Three Paladin past lives at 5% each, WF with Healer's Friend II and a 10%, 20% and 30% healing amp from items comes out to...
1*1.05*1.05*1.05*0.50*1.20*1.10*1.20*1.30= 119% healing amp
Without the Paladin past lives, that same WF would have gotten 103% healing amp.

I think that Paladin past lives would have been fine at 10% even if that means Lithic will eventually end up with a character that is "overpowered".  5% is just kind of pathetic.

I agree-5% is to low, 10% would be worth it.  A barb past life of 10 hp is garbage as well, but 20 hp might have made it worth it as well.  I think the devs had the right idea on some of the past life passive feats, but should have made them alittle more worth achieving.
