Is Monk/Barbarian viable? - Lemmy.world
I’m waiting for the PS5 release because no PC atm but I’ve decided to play
Ranger/Fighter on my first playthrough and really want to try monk/Barbarian on
my second playthrough but wondering how hard it be to make it viable.
Barbarian 2/Open Hand STRonk 10 with Tavern Brawler is one of strongest builds in the game. It’s DPR is comparable to a GWM Barbarian.
So just make a strength focused monk? Also what stat should I use for unarmored defense?
Unarmored defence is CON for barbarians.
But for monks it’s dex or wisdom so one of those might be better?
Dex is always part of the equation for unarmored defense. Con is superior for defensive, since it also increases your HP.
And you won’t use wis for much anyway – is there anything other than Stunning Strike DC affected by wis?
Ki Resonation, but you will probably never use that. The build basically uses all it’s Ki points on Flurry of Blows to make an ungodly # of attack that due to all the extra damage are hitting for something like 2d8+1d10+12 by the end of the game.
