I'm playing on veteran.

I've set level scaling for main story only, just arrived in nekataka, still haven't seen any enemies or journal entries with skulls either.

I read the in game tutorial and it says perception is used to detect traps while mechanics is used to disarm them. Does this mean that we don't need to be in stealth mode to detect traps(and hidden items) any more, only need high perception?

I'm thinking of running a dual wielding melee mc, focusing on attack speed and crits. Would single class shattered pillar monk be a good class for this, or would multi-class be stronger? Level 9 monk abilities seem pretty strong
