5 at level 16+ with haste and a full BAB class unless you are playing with someone and you both have the outflank teamwork feat then their critical hits allow you extras but even at 30% crit chance that will likely only add 1 attack per round on average.
5 at level 16+ with haste and a full BAB class unless you are playing with someone and you both have the outflank teamwork feat then their critical hits allow you extras but even at 30% crit chance that will likely only add 1 attack per round on average.I am talking about fully optimized...And I already know 2 classes that give you an extra attack in their class or archetype..
which ones?
Or even more than that depending on if you have the Cleave feat chain and are successfully hitting/killing adjacent enemies.
From my experience, two-weapon fighting gives you more attacks for less damage. Two-handed fighting gives you less attacks for more damage. How many attacks were you hoping to get here?
A monk can flurry for 7 attacks. Then add 1 for haste, and 1 for spending a ki point. (There is debate as to whether haste and the ki attack stack.) But 8 is pretty good too.)
How many 2hd (not double) monk weapons are there?
Edit although a Sohei Monk could do this after 6th level with a weapon group... which does have some two-handers in it ok so there is 7+, cool.
I learned something new.
I think wild barbarian gives extra attack that doesn't specify to NOT stack with haste. also do you only want attacks WITH that 2h weapon? otherwise a barbarian with bite and twf/improved unarmed could theoretically twf some kicks in. maybe 10 attacks, 6 with the 2-hander?

The justification for 2hd over twf is you focus on STR and dont worry about dex and power attack for -1/+3 on top of 1.5 STR flat top damage boosters are where its at. Hense other than archers the 2hd builds rule the roost at the DPR olympics threads.

Anyone with a 16+ BAB and the full TWF chain can do this, with full str bonus on all attacks.
It's not two-handed though. You won't get x1.5 str, even if using a quarterstaff.

It is. You get to use the feats for free, but you still follow the rules for two-weapon fighting.
Flurry of Blows (Ex)
Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When doing so he may make one additional attack using any combination of unarmed strikes or attacks with a special monk weapon (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham) as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat). For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus is equal to his monk level. For all other purposes, such as qualifying for a feat or a prestige class, the monk uses his normal base attack bonus.
At 8th level, the monk can make two additional attacks when he uses flurry of blows, as if using Improved Two-Weapon Fighting (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat).
At 15th level, the monk can make three additional attacks using flurry of blows, as if using Greater Two-Weapon Fighting (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat).
A monk applies his full Strength bonus to his damage rolls for all successful attacks made with flurry of blows, whether the attacks are made with an off-hand or with a weapon wielded in both hands. A monk may substitute disarm, sunder, and trip combat maneuvers for unarmed attacks as part of a flurry of blows. A monk cannot use any weapon other than an unarmed strike or a special monk weapon as part of a flurry of blows. A monk with natural weapons cannot use such weapons as part of a flurry of blows, nor can he make natural attacks in addition to his flurry of blows attacks.
The 16+ BAB and TWF would still need a Haste Spell. GTWF only gives you +3 off hand attacks, not +4.

So can I only extend my Flurry of Blows if I continue in Monk levels...like lets say I went 12 levels in Monk and then 8 in another class...would I be stuck with only 5 attacks since that's what flurry is at?
Your iterative attacks would continue to increase. That is, someone with a single level in monk and a +16 BAB could flurry for +14/+14/+9/+4/-1.
I am also of the opinion that anyone who actually has the TWF chain can use those feats: I no longer need monk levels to pretend I have them.
The only real advantage of FoB is the increasing damage die used for unarmed attacks. You want 2d10 damage with unarmed attacks, your going to need more than a 1 level monk dip.
Everything else is already available to non-monks.
Ok so I am kind of curious what your stats and build are looking like for this build to see if it would be worth it to 2hd flurry (not getting the 1.5 Str) or to go with a non flurry class but get the 1.5 STR bonus but fewer attacks.
A pounce Druid or Barbarian or a battle dancer bard with arcane strike for instance.
Why would you want that many attacks though? How fun would it be for the rest of the players at your table to sit around waiting for you to roll out 5+ attacks on your turn? I would hate playing in a game with a PC that was doing that every round..
Don't forget mobile fighterand Dawnflower Dervish fighter get extra attacks and a pounce-like ability
