1207 is awesome. Use it to disable spell casters. Get 1x HP, and 1x in spells until you have 1220 / 120, and your TD is going to be fine until much later. Honestly, I don't see a reason to train any spells past 1220 / 120 unless you really want those niche spells like provoke or spirit guide. Neither of them are essential for a Monk.
Also, heavily training into multi-opponent combat is super handy for monks! UAC Mstrike is potent.
