After doing STR path, what next?

[stfields]

<p>I'm a returning monk after about 2.5 years away from EQ2.  A lot has changed since I hit level 60 in 2005.  A friend of mine that has been playing since the game came out told me that monks should spend AAs (to start) on the strength path (the one with all the barefist bonuses).  After spending AA on that path, what should I be looking at next?  </p><p>With al lthe changes to game, my head is spinning and I'm not really sure which way I should go.  Any help would be appreciated.</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>INT, for crits and Eagle Shriek, which is nice until T8 at least.</p><p>Come T8, when you may start raiding, you'll probably drop STR (better weapons to be found), pick up AGI (for altruism) then go down WIS for Crane Twirl and keep at least part of INT for crits.</p>
