Baldur’s Gate 3 Monk Guide | The God Fist | Strong Build For Tactician Difficulty

the monk is an interesting class it's one thing to surpass your human limits wield a great sword and slay the monsters the Forgotten Realms what if I told you you don't need a weapon that do pure strength channeling your key you can take on those same monstrosities take on even the gods themselves and to do that with just your fist thank you [Music] hey guys Moses with Negron Tech so I'm bringing you my second Baldur's Gate 3 build guy this time the mug I haven't seen a lot of content about the Monk and a lot of people say it's an underpower class but to me not only is a class fantasy extremely interested and endearing to me being able to take on God's monsters with just your fists that's insane that's awesome I mean just imagine that right so this is going to be the god fist build and we're gonna get into it in a second here all right guys so for the monk the class fantasy you are unarmored class that relies on your taking this coming from your dexterity and your wisdom you know you're channeling your key it helps you become uh you know more tanky you know you know you surpass your human limits that's like kind of the class fantasy you're also not wearing armor you have extreme High Mobility you have high damage not the highest damage in the game but you have high damage uh High Mobility uh medium tankiness low Health you get just a 1D 10 and you're getting extreme utility for a melee class similar to kind of how bad a master fighter is so you know your starting ability is going to be recommended you're going to go 10 strength 17 decks 13 con 8 and 16 wisdom and 10 Charisma your feet your first two Feats are going to be ability score improvements you want to get 20 decks you can use uh that last point for con or you can go 18 you can push for 17 and then get 18 wisdom for your last uh feat either another ability to score Improvement you can go tough or mobile two to you know get a little bit more hit points uh just be aware that a lot of things in the game will specify unarmed or weapon attacks so don't think that oh you know Savage attacker works it does not because you're not doing weapon attacks guys one more note is that Tavern brawler does not double dip with uh these gloves so if you were to get these gloves to get your decks to 18 and then uh you just went strength build and focused on damage to Heaven brawler it will not double dip guys just remember that in addition to your tankiness unarmored defense does not stack either so don't think about doing a dip in the Barb and then getting another uh free AC or two from Constitution it does not work that way it gets one or the other now talking overall about the class there are some other things that help your tankiness you can completely negate missiles but not only can you negate a missile attack but you can also throw it back at them and do damage which is very very nice you also get Keen power strikes which overcome resistance and Immunity slow fall which helps you get resistance to Falling damage so you're able to be even more mobile around the battlefield climbing ladders getting to the second level jumping back down things like that that's really fits into the class fantasy of a monk that makes it very very nice now getting more into the subclass and the godfis aspect of the monk uh the biggest things is going to be not only you're getting three attacks a turn once you get to the appropriate level but just starting out early game you get two attacks you get extra attacks starting out which makes the early game a lot more fun right because once you get these uh Thunder gloves early game it's like a really really cool lightning themed build that gets you a little bit more tankiness with charges as you generate them and then doing more on hit uh damage now talking about on hit it's beautiful because not only are we doing three attacks but some of our attacks double dip so we're actually hitting with both fists triggering two separate on hit effects and of course weigh the fists as you level up you get three options you get manifestation of soul mind and body so you get On Demand necrotic radiant or psychic this can be changed at any point in time and it double dips triggering both times as you see with some of your uh actual attacks guys so you're triggering this you know sometimes three to five attacks in one turn if you go fighter and then you go action surge as a late level dip it's actually going to be kind of insane how strong this can get uh it's very good damage not the best but very good damage now utility speaks for itself staggering and getting getting rid of opportunities or you know reactions that some of the bigger bosses do is very huge push it's one of the best Utilities in the game being able to give one shot most enemies is kind of disgusting and topple is amazing prone compliments every single party no matter what you do generate an advantage right so that's very very good also helps generating stuns things like that and you know uh working about saving tones you also get wholeness of body Now using key as a resource I'm not level nine you really only got 10. so on a short risk is huge it's much better than rage on just a long rest so you really don't have to worry about it this is one of the few you know builds where you can just Spam your things like it's very similar to Battle Master except you get more resources where you know Battle Master I feel you can actually spend your superiority die a good amount monk you spend all the key in the world that you want so real quick for gear I used to early in the game I was doing a more lightning themed build there are things I need to do to fix with uh you know neck and gloves neck and rings but I'm working on that but pretty much you know get AC from shoes you know that's great you just want to make sure that whatever you use is unarmored so your glove your chest piece has to be 10 this is one of the best chests I think this was act two and uh moonrise Tower uh I don't remember where I got everything but I will hover over it so you can see and you can Google where to get it these gloves are absolutely disgusting though the plus one to attack rows and plus two damage again that plus two base damage is double dipping when we're using multiple attacks like flurry uh you know topple stagger and push it's so goddamn good guys all right guys and just to end the video I'll do a little bit gameplay showcase uh you'll see here this is a one fight in act two right before going to the Baldur's Gate checkpoint but look at the combat log you'll see how your on hit effects uh go trigger twice so it's just really really nice how it happens generally like the monk is not a Solo Carry type the fact that it brings damage utility and high Mobility I think is very very very coveted for the party in this situation if I would have got the prone or I wouldn't get this done but this is like a boss level up this is like a boss level uh Mob right here but you know it's not reasonable use legendary resistance to stop the first so saving well generate the first saving throw but it's just really really nice how it like complements the other party you know you're able to get in there yeah it does have the little self-heal we're holding us a body uh it has a lot of opportunities to use its abilities with the key generation uh bad Miss right there but you know no biggie but you know it's just it's a very very good class I feel like it it's perfect role is that complementary to another melee class but you know when you do generate stun and then uh prone it's just it's very very good and you'll see here I use uh I get the double crit I get the huge damage press the prone and it sets up my bar Berserker to be able to friend you know he's already frenzy but he's able to get that attack and then he's able to generate great weapon master so karlak and that monk be able to generate that knock down it gave advantage to the rest of my party and not only that it set up my Barb you know either your bar with a fight or whatever two-handed in your group to guarantee that kill right so now he's able to use his bonus action that that great weapon Master on another mob and then you can use carlak to CC another mob so in one round I not I pretty much killed two Targets here I get the prone on the boss and then I get a guaranteed stun with the help of uh Shadow Hearts guiding boat with using that Advantage so it was just really nice how all this works out it really is awesome you know I I absolutely love it it's such a goddamn good class in my opinion A lot of the times you know and I'm kind of role-playing this uh play through a lot uh I try to switch on my party members as soon as I can but it always comes down to me almost always having Carl on my party I actually love this class so much that my next playthrough I'll probably be a monk to be honest with you because it's just so goddamn cool and I might you know do way of the fists and I you know or maybe do uh excuse me I'll probably do weigh the elements the next playthrough but we'll see you know there's a lot to do and you know a double hold person there beautiful beautiful so like get get the guaranteed crits you know you know we're gonna get the pro and it's just you know it's so goddamn nice getting three attacks a turn oh it's huge it's absolutely huge you know and then we just one tap I decide not to just so I can help out the Barb you know because you know Moses uh that's a guts right there that's her main character he's got to get the kills you know but ah it's just it's a very very fun and satisfying class to play I hope you guys got something out of this video uh please like comment and subscribe let me know and you know if you guys have any other ideas or you know I'd be very interested if anybody's done a pure strength Monk and let me know how that works that would be uh awesome to know but again that's pretty much it guys you know use a massive utility that you bring to the party and have fun with it you know it's a lot different and you know not a lot of people play monk so you know you're going to be one of the few uh cool guys that contrary and the criteria captains out there so yeah you know again like comment subscribe guys and I hope you have a good one [Music]
