Dam that looks fun, very much like your melee builds. I know ranged is OP you have distance and when using the right arrows, buffs, and skills can one turn stuff. But melee is always my favorite in any game.
@@seamuspink9098 no the fuck they are not. Quick example not monk related. Crossbows now auto load. They don’t in 5e. It effectively removes the only thing keeping dual crossbows semi balanced. There is zero reason to ever go bow over crossbow now. Monks also are TURBO BUFFED. Like INSANELY overbuffed. They have 3 ki points at lvl 1 instead of 1, basically twice the general action economy in BG3 to 5e, and also have higher dice rolls at base. Anyway, this is just proof they can easily patch the game because the game isn’t DnD, it’s DnD inspired
@@biggiecheese2004 well that's because monk is kinda dogshit in 5e isn't it? Like, they overtuned monk in bg3 and yet way of the four elements is STILL terrible in the game lol
Items and buff also. You get so many bonuses. Magical items are rare and don't add many bonuses in 5e. Just check at the list of traits you get in youe character sheet. 20 or so? That's crazy and stupid.
Look like tavern brawler Open hand Monk + Thief for bonus action and 2 Fighter for action surge. For stats go for high Strength, decent Dex. A nice pair of boots can be found in the begining of act 3, coupled with the Monk clothing from Lorrokan's shop.
@@sanguin3if you really want to run this build you NEED to dump strength to 8 and use strength elixirs. You need to have high wisdom, dex, and con. You can’t also have high strength (which you need because of tavern brawler) unless you’re popping elixirs.
@@Javors_UndeathAscendant wtf, unarmed attack - when u w/O weapon in left, right hand. Weapon attack, when u have weapon in arm. U can check that caustic ring doesn't work w/O weapon, like other items that gives bonus JUST to your weapon attack with WEAPON. It is not my point, it's just game's mechanics

How did you keep Morninglord's Radiance all the way to act 3? Pretty sure that effect fades after a long rest, and there's at least one forced long rest between acts 2 and 3
it’s a bug that i think is patched now, if you dismissed and recruited your companions every morning after the buff wore off it would keep reapplying itself indefinitely, i also had it on my game and it was very handy in act 2 lol

I'll also consider this for free extra attacks (extra furry of blows, as a bonus action): War Priest: From 1st level (...) When you use the Attack action, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
You can get it from the temple of some sea goddess, don't know her name, next to the Steel Watch Foundry. There, you can find a chest with donations and if you put anything there - you're getting permanent bless. But you should avoid getting temporary bless, because it will replace permanent one and you'll need to do the process again.
Wouldn't it be better to run a statstick melee weapon (i.e. Knife of the Undermountain King) instead of a +1 Shield? You'd have 18 AC either way (10 base + 2 DEX + 4 WIS + 2 vest) but could get an even larger crit range/other beneficial effects. Also - does the Shade-Slayer Cloak's effect trigger even if you don't manually hide? I haven't been using it since I didn't want to use my BA on hiding.
Since there are not enough strength potions to rely on that for every fight, how would you deal with armor on a strength monk normally? Heavy armor from a fighter dip? Laezel for medium armor?
Pretty sure there's some dumb ass glitches you can do like using the withers companions to cast enhance ability and the like cleric protection binding and then leave them in camp
@@arturfurman367 took me closer to ten minutes, the first floor of moonrise was definitely harder for me. Where I struggled the most, actually, was fighting my way out of the goblin camp after killing everything inside.
If you want it to be easy just go at least 2 into warlock for darkness vision, get darkness somewhere (drow, more points into warlock etc) and just have darkness up all the time so range have to run into you and you get perma advantage. If you want it extra broken you just go 5wl/5pala/2 Fighter.
YES!!!, THis is the proper way to show how good is a build in my opinion, all other channels just show how to level it up and armor it, But when I test them against bosses I get wrecked. Is sorlock really that good? In my experience is just a garbage build; if it is good, can you test it against bosses please? It feels like martial arts at this point, no preasure testing for part of the big channes XD
I just respec for this battle only I didnt played monk. But Im guessing you want to have 6 lvls in Way of the Open Hand Monk and then mby you can grab 3 lvls Rogue Thief. lvl 4: Tavern Brawler Feat.
You still have morning lord’s radiance. Are you saying that you killed ketheric, disabled the steel watch and then went to kill Gortash without taking a long rest?!
Actually I had 4 BAs here, but I healed over 50% and I lost BA that I used earlier. base + thief + helmet of grit (50% or less hp) + Wholeness of Body.
