      Sorry but this kind of builds destroys fun for me because I have to limit myself how I build constantly. Not only this build is unbalanced but a whole lot more. Swords bard being a crazy machinegun, accelerate being busted, the -5 +10 skills being busted and making melee dualwield play or shield useless and it keeps going... I wan't to be able to theorycraft strong builds and have a challange, not having to cut myself of from so much content. What makes no sense is enjoying to steamroll the game. Wouldn't it be better to be able to build a strengh monk that would be balanced? This kind of builds don't expand build variety, they kill it.

    Hi! Thanks for confirming what I noticed when reading the class features of Thief and mechanics change in BG3 compared to tabletop (which are stupidly crazy balance-wise).
    Also, thanks for giving everyone a glimpse of how untouchable *any* tabletop Monk would normally be if they hadn't nerfed Step of the Wind (normally triples Jump distance) with just the Mobile feat.
    A few comments though
    - Unless Larian also changed that, wearing armor blocks Unarmed Strikes and Unarmored Speed. First means you renouncing an average 3 damage (1d6), unless Tavern Brawler also makes unarmed attacks 1d4 (like in tabletop IIRC). Second means you are back to "normal" speed. In other words, without any armor you could just go too far away for any attack to reach you except spell sling in the first place, so going for armor should be imo kept for when you actually want to tank.
    - Going Fighter for Action Surge is fair, but it's only 2 more attacks once per short rest. Going Barbarian gives you resistance to physical damage (helps wearing the thing that gives extra bonus action while under 50%), and 2 rages per long rest (advantage on Strenght checks and saves, extra damage on hit). Damage-wise provided Action Surge hits you probably deal more damage at higher level compared to "just" +2 on every attack, provided fight doesn't last more than 2 rounds. Otherwise Rage wins it over easily even without considering all the extra benefits.

    • @christopherbelanger6612
      @christopherbelanger6612 11 місяців тому +2

      There are a lot of click bait multiclass build videos boasting the number of attacks per round or crazy burst damage the build can do. Almost all of them rely on Action Surge at some point.
      I recently finished the campaign and I believe Action Surge is good, but entirely unnecessary for any build. There are fights in the game that demand you have sustainability in combat and one trick pony burst characters are sub par for those. Without spoiling the ending for anyone, the final few battles will not be kind to burst builds.
      My best character ended up being Karlach with 4 Barbarian and 8 Fighter because she could deal a constant and reliable quantity of damage nearly every single turn. Action Surge was helpful at times, but it wasn't the defining feature of that character.

    I noticed 2 important things:
    1) you can achieve not 11 but 12 with your combo:
    3x Flurry of blow (6 hits) + 3x Main hits with an extra attack (6 more hits)
    2) using that helm that gives an extra bonus action on low health gives us an opportunity to make 14 hits! 4 Flurries (8 hits) and 3 Main Attacks with extra strikes (6 hits)
    Now add Tavern Brawler with 18-22 STR to that and get yourself 112-168 damage burst just from the feat. I haven't even considered any dices, crits, manifestations or equipment. I can try but i am truly scared of the numbers we may get

      Tavern Brawler is currently only adding 1x your STR modifier, not 2x. Check your combat log. It's still good as it's adding to both Attack and Damage, but it advertises itself as being better than it is. Monk can still do some good damage but like a Berserker Barbarian can dish out similar if not better especially with the +10 dmg from Great Weapon Master. While also just constantly having advantage on demand.

      @gscurd75 you're gonna make me do math aren't you. Let's say 16 in each ability score that matters. So a paaldin deals 2d6 plus 3. Which is 10 damage. Gwm adds 10 so 20 damage. Smite adds 2d8. So 9 average damage. 29 damage. By level 9 you get 2 attacks plus one as a bonus action from gwm. So 2 guarentee and 3 consistently. You also have higher level smite so 4d8 which is and extra 9 damage. So 38 3x. If you want to maximize this you can go oath break. Your damage gets a plus 3 and great weapon as your fighting style adds plus 2 on average. So 43. If you add warlock pact of the blade you get plus 2 damage from cha to attacks (you can dump str) and another 2 from your aura. Plus and extra attack so 47 x4. Even if I grant 6 attacks (2 regular plus flurry of blows plus a second flurry of blows and each attack lands 20 damage you end up 120 damage potentially spread over 6 enemies .

    I've a very similar build but with the legendary throwing trident equipped, I'm using Monk 9, Thief 3 tho - Open Hand 9 gets the ability to punch with fists while having a melee weapon equipped and you can pop them with force damage, really big fun good old larian homebrew, also at level 9 monk your unarmed dice increases to D8 which is a crazy boost to the sheer amount of the attacks. Why the trident? As we already push Tavern brawler our strength also applies additionally to it, and this weapon is really insane as a ranged option and also as a AoE option, it pops in a higher radius than a fireball and can clear multiple enemies at range with ease, it's just an amazing option it adds to the already amazing build. Monk overall in bg3 is such a pleasure to play.

I don't know how it compares to building it this way bc I haven't played through with it yet, but I believe that it gives you a solid AC in the earlier stages if you starting with Monk instead of fighter.

    I did this same build with Karlach but instead of Fighter I took 2 in Barb. The reason is when you Reckless Attack (ALLLL) of your attacks after have advantage that means all of Flurry of blows or Stunning Strikes have Avantage and with Rage it add's a +2 to damage on each hit. You can also wear Medium armor with this build(My build) and if you didn't take Tavern Brawler and instead took Dex to 20 you can put the Medium armor with like 17 AC that lets you add +Dex mod to it (uncapped), so that with a shield I got Karlach at a permanent 25 AC and she had the movement ring with The legendary Trident that gives extra movment.

      Hey my guy, just to help you out here: (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING)
      Mask of Soul Perception: This item can be found in the top floor of the devil's due, which is a house in act 3 I believe that houses the warlock vendor who also assists you with going into the house of hope.
      Cloak of displacement: Can be found at act 3, wyrms crossing, in an establishment to the left of the main road called Danthelons Dancing Axe. To obtain, speak and trade with the dwarf behind the counter.
      Perfect Helldusk Armour: Can be obtained from the house of hope by defeating Raphael, the item is found by looting his corpse.
      Soul Catching Gloves: Again in the house of hope, obtained by saving Hope which is the life domain cleric being held hostage and making sure she survives the fight against Raphael. Speaking to her after your hard earned victory will net you the gloves.
      Boots of Uninhibited Kushigo: Obtained from looting one of the monks at the beginning of act 3. This happens when you long rest for the first time in act 3, you will be ambushed by githyanki monks and taken to the astral plane. One of them will drop these boots for you to make use of.
      Shields: I believe from this video the person was using kethrics shield, which can be obtained from defeating kethric in the finale of act 2 and looting his body.
      Rings: Ring of Protection can be obtained from completing all of the tiefling kids quests in the druid grove (Helping the kid whos caught by harpies, saving arabella, and stealing the idol)
      Darkfire shortbow: Can be obtained from Dammon (the tiefling blacksmith) in act 2 at the last light inn. make sure you keep him alive by siding with the grove against the goblins/the absolute in the first act.
      That should be it my guy, let me know if there's any item I missed or if anything is unclear.

    My monk was my dex character so I did not go for str build, I played with the legendary rapiers for attacks off opportunities + rogue special attacks and took items to get tons of added dmg on hit ( there is an helmet ading necrotic dmg) Because flury is so powerfull with these effects . I played with ki attacks Because it’s very effective for aoe dmg and it let you punch with One action even if you have a weapon. Having a weapon in One hand you can mix 2 types of damages.
    The downside is That you will not benefit from the 5/6 bonus dmg from brawler feat.

      Last act has a very limited and inconspicuously hidden consumable item that reduces action point costs by 1 for a few turns, effectively meaning you get 8 attacks + 3 -1 with invis x2 with 100% crit and the most damage modifiers of any class in the game.

      The monk class gets increased movement speed and with haste giving another bump in movement speed ... Well you see the result. Githyanki makes a very good option if you are going monk early with no fighter dip til later and starting off as low dex. Githyanki gain access to medium armor proficiency from their race, so right from the start you can where medium armor without suffering any major penalties, but you do lose the movement speed buff from the monk class until you can make the switch to no armor late in the game. Githyanki are also good for passing skill checks as once per long rest they can choose to be proficient in every skill from a said ability(ie all intelligence skill this rest, then switch to all charisma skill next rest etc.)

    0:20 it is 18v4 how can anyone say me attacking 9 times needs to be nerfed

      I agree, plus it drains Ki points which will eventually need a short rest to regain.

    There are lots of ways to "break" the game there are two pieces of equipment that give your spell casting stat bonus to cantrips and lets you gain an extra attack with a cantrip. This means a sorlock warlock 4/ sorc 8 can easily have a 20 charisma use their normal action to fire eldritch blast getting 3+1 from gear attacks from the single casting, be hasted so you have an additional action cast eldritch blast again getting another 4 attacks, then quicken cast eldritch blast and get yet another 4 attacks for 12 attacks per round of combat. These attacks will do 1d10 +5 from agonizing blast , +5 from the gear item. so A character can do 12d10+120 damage per round. That is insane there are builds that do fighter 2/ warlock 2/ sorc 8 but i think this is a weaker build. It only has two feats and action surge is only used once there is little difference between 16d10+160 for one round of combat. It is actually more powerful to give up this action surge to get 2 more levels of warlock (giving you a pact choice and feat) if the feat you take is alert. Going first with 12d10+120 damage can eliminate at least two enemies at the start of combat before they can react. These mean you use less resources to defend yourself like using counter spell or healing potions. You take less damage and you have the ability to take and maintain initiative in the combat. And what you give up is 4 attacks that happen only once in the combat.
    I think Larian is aware of the number of attacks various builds can do and i doubt they will nerf things.

      Doesn't that item that let's you do a fourth attack with eldritch blast only work once per long rest though? Pretty underwhelming.

      @@brandobond i don't know. maybe i misunderstood the video on that aspect. If it is a one off it is pretty underwhelming for Eldritch blast but slightly better for other cantrips.

    Only people who has been playing bad games with battlepass monetisation would think that a character/class will be nerf just because it is following the rules.

    Is the build with armor Vest of Soul and 18-19 HC much worse or you still can play with that build?

      If you want to use that instead take points from str and put them into dex. Tavern brawler stacks with dex so it doesn't matter which one has a higher mod

    It’s fine, it balances though, because you only have that for like 1 round while you have the ki points. Sorc can do more damage over a full combat easily

    • @O-D-X

      At level 12, you have 13 or more ki points, 3 bonus actions only cost 3 ki points, so you have 4 rounds minimum.
