This is the build I have been using to play Dragon Disciple.  Since I do not like playing spell casters this is a melee focused build with a few spells for buffs.  It requires a lesser heart as the Iconic Tabaxi Trailblazer if critical to this build.  I know the planner says a plus 1 heart but since you are just going from regular monk to Archtype monk, a lesser with no pluses will work.  I have done this.

This build also makes use of 18 racial action points, you will need to adjust if you have less then that.  This build also has good trapping skills and so far I have not had any problems finding or disabling trap.  

As little to no points are spent in the Dragon Disciple tree, this build should work nearly the same with regular Monk as well.  Most of the enhancement points are spent in the Racial tree and the Rogue Thief Acrobat tree. The number of racial enhancement points you have will determine where you spend the rest.

This build has decent defenses, is very fast movement speed and attack speed. It is not the best DPS, but I found it to be decent and a lot of fun.

I have posted the build on my Discord channel.  Let me know if you need an invite to download the build.
