Have you considered something like Way of Shadow Monk 9 / Gloomstalker 3?
I cant say that I have - I wanted to purely go down the Fighter route, both as a challenge and because my friends kept saying that Fighter is terrible.
Hey again nothing wrong with doing it the way you like, it just seems like a lot of resources are being sunk into making a Fighter more like a Monk instead of just being a Monk. If you did try this, and didn't like it, why not?
I would have to give it a shot first, but it does sound like its a blast. Although I'm not keen on the idea of it being "more like a Monk" as both have their own degrees of build variance and flexibility - some overlap in playstyle is bound to happen at some point. Not to mention that dude with greatsword is a fantasy that will never grow old.
