Click link to find out (links to another post in this thread) - http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/79442-monk-build-lets-start-buildin-some-hurtin-bombs-potd-toi-blind/?p=1691074 Portraits: (Drag drop to folder: PillarsOfEternity_Data\data\art\gui\portraits\player\male) Question: How do I possibly beat this game in a POTD, TOI, blind play through with a MONK? ANSWER: RELAX MY FRIEND, first watch this: CLICK HERE - Watch this first or click the following image. Question: But, Luzarius, can I really punch through steel, ON PATH OF DA DAMNED? ANSWER: YES! @ Level 4 - 46.9 Crit PUNCH THE BUILD Race: Godlike - Moon - Aumana Special Ability: Silver Tide (Moon Godlike) – Every Encounter when reduced below 75%, 50%, or 25% Endurance moon Godlike generate waves of healing moonlight that heals Endurance to them and their allies. Class: Monk Culture: Living Lands Stats: - 19 might (for damage) - 18 con (so you can take punishment) - 18 dex (so you can punch fast) - 3 perception (you want to get hit) - 10 int (you want to retain willpower) - 10 resolve (you want to concentrate to a certain degree) Abilities: - (lvl1) Torment's Reach: Spam the hell out of this as much as you possibly can, spam it, spam it, spam it. - (lvl2) Lesser Wounds: - 2 wound threshold so you gain wounds faster. - (lvl3) Turning Wheel: For every wound you gain 5% of burn damage, to be used against enemies who are vulnerable to burning damage. - (lvl4) Vulnerable Attack: You punch 20% slower, but gain -5 DR bypass. THE HURTIN BOMBS. NOTE: I am not a fan of Fist of Anguish, it's not reliable. Skills I want to get: - Weapon Focus Peasant: +6 accuracy with unarmed, extremely important on POTD difficulty. (I'm at level 4, will take this at level 5 if possible). Armor: - Plate or Brigandine, the highest DR protection armor you can get. Tactics: - Have Durance cast consecrated healing and try to stay in it, but don't be afraid to punch the crap out of everything, being aggressive. - Durance may need to throw his iconic projection to heal you from a distance. - Spam the hell out of Torment's Reach. - Have Aloth use the Concelhaut's Parasitic Staff to support you from behind. (Make sure he doesn't poke your backside with his staff though). - Don't be afraid to disengage to hurt yourself to gain more wounds. - Have Durance cast withdraw on you if you're in trouble. Your Role: - You are the TANK & DPS. You go in first, you want everyone to hit you first. I actually use Eder as a tank/dps, 50/50. Eder uses a fine estoc. Eder & this monk build can hold a frontline very well while Kana, Aloth & Durance are in the back. You want to get hit as much as possible, build wounds fast and spam the hell out of torment's reach. PUNCHIN BOMBS FTW! The Inestimable Lord Raedric meets DA HURTIN BOMBS with level 4 party, no custom companions Frontal Assault Readric Hold
