Played a couple hours with the chanter, and I am not a chanter fan… what do you think about a Goldpact/Ghost Heart?

There is a good devoted/berserker build in here

Hello guys. I don’t know if it’s viable, but I want to try a solo run using ranged weapons, if possible bows. My first idea is a Chanter, or do you think another class could do better?

You mean arcana to use scrolls? I barely use them

Thanks I looked at the stats, and for now the Last Word is being a better option than the Gladiator. I cleared the Oathbinder Sanctum and the island with the Cavern of Xaur Tuk Tuk. Heading to Neketaka now, and I will go for the Bardatto mace now. I wonder if is possible to solo with this Crusader, what do you think?

After try almost every combination, I finally decided my class, and for my own surprise, is the class I thought would be the most boring at all: The Crusader (Goldpact/Unbroken) I had good times with another classes, specially the Monk/Fighter (I still want to try a solo run with him), but the Crusader is the one that fits exactly what I wanted. I am using this stats MIG 12 CON 17 DEX 10 PER 19 INT 15 RES 17 I am picking all defensive passives, no FoD. My question is abou equipment , now I am using Last Word as my weapon, and Deaths Maw on the head. What gear should I aim for now?

I am using something like this MIG 15 CON 17 DEX 10 PER 21 INT 10 RES 17 If you will try this, I would just change to unbroken . This will help the engagement issue , bonus AR and more flexibility to choose weapons.

The biggest downside for me is the lack of engagement, sometimes the enemies just pass running for me. But about survivability, I can’t complain until now. Even with 10 wounds, the Constant Recovery is being enough to keep me alive, and in extreme cases I still have Second Wind/ Potions and my healer. I was planning try solo with this monk, but I don’t know if would be viable

I know is a different approach from what you are looking for, but I am doing a Helwalker/Devoted and he is one of the most fun I played so far. I can tank with him and dish out good damage.

I raised Athletics until 5 only (7 with Hylea bounty). I will raise alchemy now, thanks

Some news about this char. I am impressed with his self sustain. Even with 10 wounds, I heal enough to keep my health almost on top. In an emergency, my second wind is healing almost full health. I got Determination (+20 Defenses against INT PER CON affliction) for now, because he is a tank and I need boost my defenses. Now heading up to Neketaka.

Just passing to say that I am using the sabre in the off hand and it’s really cool. Thanks for the idea @Boeroer

Thanks for all the good ideas guys.

Yeah, I noticed that. Specially with mr wanting him to be a tank. I guess the closer I can be is a Goldpact paladin: even with the garrote/FF synergy being better, the +4 armor since the beginning will help a lot, plus all the defenses we know. But the armor look isn’t an issue for me , I can accept a monk in heavy armor. What I can’t accept is a monk in heavy armor wielding a two handed sword, or using a large shield

One handed sabre, using one handed style to increase criticals. Is it monk-ish?

Thanks for the answer. I play on Xbox, so no mods for me. One more question: My idea is to go devoted with poleaxes for two reasons: looks like a monk weapon (lol) and gives me engagement. But there is only Lord Darryn’s. Would be better if I go dual wield sabers or flais? Or even Chromoprismatic Quaertersaff because the enchant that reduces damage?

I don’t know, I find Paladins kind of boring in this game… I will try tweak a bit my devoted. Some considerations: 1. Helwalker? I am planning he be my main tank,a Vanilla monk would do better? 2. Is it worth spent points in INT? I pretend use Duality for the CON buff, if I keep INT in 10 is ok? 3. If I keep INT in 10, I can raise RES

Just realized how hard is to tank without a shield. At least in the early levels, my monk is taking too much damage. I will try the Garrote/FF, I think the high RES combined with the Paladin defenses will give me a good survivability. Again, there is the engagement issue, but I am planning use only another melee character, maybe in the end this won’t be a great problem

I was looking, and another good weapon would be Chromoprismatic Quarterstaff, maybe suit better the monk than poleaxes

Interesting, but a brute won’t have the Kung fu moves like the monk. I started a Helwalker/Devoted, let’s see how he will perform: MIG 15 CON 17 DEX 10 PER 21 INT 17 RES 10

Thanks, I will take a look

Interesting, but isn’t too squishy? I am terrible in manage berserkers health

I just imagined a Devoted monk using Lord Darryn’s Voulge….

Hello, friends. Ia it viable a monk as main tank? What class would fit him to do this role?

I played a bit more with my Crusader, and I am getting the way of him. I gone to Sandswept Ruins and got Last Word, and I am doing a decent damage. Of course I don’t have offensive abilities, but I am having fun now. I am thinking in try a Fanatic or a Brute , but I don’t know if would be a good main tank
