Thanks for the advice. I had seen the Juggernaut and Hungry thread but wasn't sure if the Monk one was workable, weirdly. I know is is naive but I was still in the mindset of "A Monk in HEAVY armor! Why, this is most unorthodox!" Less because of the "Monk's are supposed to be naked!" and more "If heavy Armor slows you down and you are mostly about hitting quickly, how are you doing any kind of damage?" Inexperience and per-conceived notions. The Wolf is the one I started with but I didn't like the idea of Spiritshift lasting for such a short duration. I like Natural/Unarmed and the Druid seems more to be using the Natural combat as a buff and then blowing things up with spells. Totally fine just not what I was looking for, for now. Thanks everyone! Edit: Oh, my. I just read through that guide again and realized what the build basically is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhBiNx749Zw

My friend has goaded me into playing this game after months of frustration wanting to talk about it. Apparently, he thinks that a game that eats 275 hours is a game that I should play. Well, okay then! I originally started with a Spiritshift Wolf Druid because of the idea of having played a Druid for so long in DnD. The notion of only having Shift for very limited amount of time kind of bugged me. So I figured I would go the route of other Natural Weapons with the Monk. The Wound system seems kind of strange to me, getting hit to do better, considering every Monk I have seen is the DnD-esque Monk of "very bad things happen when I get hit." I was told to play on Hard because Normal and Easy are too simple. I have also read that "do whatever you want for Hard" but figured I would at least ask for some advice given I am a new player. Monk seems interesting but I can pretty much go with anything. Any suggestions for a new player? I don't need to have the ultimate unstoppable monster character but it actively bugs me when I am playing something that sucks not because I wanted to try something new but because I was so clueless. Thanks in advance.
