  • This is an extremely powerful OPEN HAND MONK Build Guide in Baldur's Gate, the damage output makes it OP in BG3. Being able to deal upwards of 76 damage on a bonus action is just incredible. Paired with the fact we can get 3 bonus actions and tavern brawler, makes this build unstoppable even with a new player. This build will also dodge a lot of spells, as it has a great ability with the evasion. And you can get a pretty decent armor class as well. If you use the hags hair, you'll get another armor class. And then you could even go with higher wisdom via the mirror of loss for an even further increased AC. This build is incredibly useful for a lot of situations and it is a prime candidate for your strength potions.
    Seriously, strength potions on this are super powerful. Farm them!
    Let me know what kind of Baldur's Gate 3 build you would like to see next!

    Funny story. My first time playing this game I chose to be a monk. It felt a bit underwhelming considering I didn’t know what I was doing at the time, but once I checked out some UA-cam videos on how devastating this class can be, my mind was blown and I’ve been running with a monk since then 😅

    • @JasonDunna

      Hahaha yeah it can feel underwhelming until you figure out the flow to it, and then it’s one of the strongest classes in the game easily!

    Loving the consistency man! Open hand is so fun because if you’re unarmed, that’s one less weapon you have to share in the group. 😅

      make everyone monks and you won't need weapons anymore, well, or play the game either, the game plays by itself

      Tavern brawler monk does crazy amounts of damage! Punching the netherbrain to victory is satisfying
      The gloves are pretty much the weapon for this build, but there’s multiple different sets throughout the game

  • @ellienixon3437

    Probably worth respeccing to have one level in rogue at the start of the game so you can take advantage the extra skills and expertise early on
    Honestly great guide, I’m looking forward to using this with my Githyanki she gets longsword proficiency so grabbing the upgrade that lets you use illithid powers as a bonus action and Voss’ sword is gonna be a lot of fun lmao

    Feel like you can throw that Rogue class in after level 8 monk, if not earlier like level 4 additional bonus action for most of Act 3 > poison immunity

    • @JasonDunna
      @JasonDunna  Місяць тому

      Yeah you totally can, the Ki resonation are really strong but they can be delayed until a bit later if you want the extra bonus action sooner

    Using this build at the endgame with that chest gloves and boots are almost like a must if you want to become a god but if you don't use those you will still be a demi-god or something because monk is crazy. Also using this build on karlach with soul coins or ascended astarian will get your flurry of blows damages to 120s 150s or smt. Also don't forget to activate your 6 level passives like Jay 🤣

    • @JasonDunna
      @JasonDunna  Місяць тому +1

      It’s extremely powerful! I wanted to mention the soul coins because it’s glitched and will give double damage right now, but ascended Astarion is huge too for the doubled necrotic damage!
      Yeah I completely forgot to active the passives hahaha there’s so much info to include in these videos and sometimes I miss something
      But dang. This build is satisfying

    What race you recommend for this build? Also, do you think that Astarion or outher character would be better for this build or nah?

    • @JasonDunna
      @JasonDunna  28 днів тому

      Ascended Astarion is actually the best because his increased damage stacks with the multiple attacks you get from this! Any race can work great as well.

  • @hybridxx
    @hybridxx 22 дні тому +1

    Once you get higher str than Dex with the potion, does dextrous fist no longer work? I forget the name, but the passive that adds my Dex to my dmg instead of str (whichever is higher). Not sure if the potion+tavern brawler overwrites that since str becomes higher.

    • @robertbernard1275
      @robertbernard1275 16 днів тому

      Tavern Brawler only works with your Strength modifier, and since that feat is so good, you don’t need Dextrous Fist.

      There’s like 10 vendors in act 3 that carry it, they will have 1-2 potions and you can also purchase cloud giant fingers to make them as well.
      The mystic carrion seems to have the ingredients very frequently but check the wiki for a list of all the vendors. You can even respec someone up to level 9 and keep leveling them up to refresh shop inventories

      Adding combat into these videos has made the retention low since people don’t watch, and then those videos don’t get recommended to people. Sadly this save file is at the end of the game and there’s only the mother brain left for fights
