I was thinking about creating a character that takes full advantage of Battle Forged. I assume that synergizes well with a monk, as you have to take damage to get wounds. This would be my first monk, though, so I'm looking for a little guidance. Will this even work?

My initial ideas are to use Scion Of Flame and put Flames of Fair Rhian in the helwax mold. Other than that, I'm not too sure on how to proceed. If anyone has any ideas or insight, I'd be grateful. I'm looking to make this my last playthrough of POE1 for a while. I really want to take this save into Deadfire.

Well darn. I never took a look at the Monksterlasher... it's exactly this concept with a few differences. I guess this topic is useless.

 

You can also take a look at the Anvil Monk build. It uses Battle Forged, too.
