    So new development, the magic item distribution method has changed. Instead a character may either have as many +1 weapons as they want, or a +1 DC spellcasting item appropriate for their class. Since this build was assuming a dragon's wrath handwrap, I'll need to think about how this new development might change the build.

    So glad you're not taking a 1 level dip, even though in theory it might be "optimal". I want to see straight, too.

    Great stuff, the tone, and build are definitely on point. One thing though, wouldn't the new Jump spell be better than Longstrider? Either way using the spell tattoos is/was a clever way to gain even more movement despite the lack of the mobile feat (though you've gained/taken other very useful feats instead). The build looks great, and I look forward to seeing you, and the other optimizers pilot these characters. Take care all.

    I find myself wondering about the combination of Unarmored Movement + Longstrider + Grappler + Acrobatic Movement + Slow Fall. At the end of your turn, should you have a grappled opponent and enough movement remaining could you run up a vertical surface then fall causing additional damage to the grappled opponent while taking none yourself? I realize it's very circumstantial but might be worth considering should such a circumstance arise.

      This is a great move to use on for an occasional spike of damage with bonus conditions. Doing it round by round means we lose out on Deflect Attack though since Slow Falling on our turn eats our Reaction for the whole round. Pretty rough hit to the extra defense, and some offense.

    Colby's approach can lead to greater damage potential, I think, due to the crazy way that upcast CME interacts with lots of attacks. But your build has better defense, plus forced movement. Also, yours requires no set-up time to cast CME, and doesn't have to worry about maintaining concentration to keep the damage up. I like yours better.

    • @TreantmonksTemple
      @TreantmonksTemple  7 месяцев назад +2

      CME is overtuned, which will definitely lead to Colby's build doing more damage (prob a lot more) in the combat he uses it. I do not expect CME to be printed as is in the new PHB.

    With Acrobatic Movement, I think Johnny can squeeze some (very situational) extra damage:
    If a fool is close to a tall enough structure and you have movement to spare, you can drag them up with you (at no penalty bc of Fast Wrestler, right?). Then either fall with them, "piledriver" style, or just drop em. They get extra fall damage and fall prone. You can land safely with Slow Fall (at the cost of your Reaction though).
    Assuming you use 10ft for Charger, you still have 45ft (55 with longstrider), and depending on how close you are to the structure and how high you can go, this can mean a few d6 extra damage, no additional attack roll, no additional Discipline cost.

    You had me chuckling at the role play. I’m looking forward to you playing this character.

    Biggest problem I see is a lack of teleport or flight. Both common at high levels. But very cool roleplay. Happy to see monk getting attention.

      The best species for this build is actually the Goliath (cloud), but it didn't fit the concept.

    Don't forget that even if you run out od Discipline, you're unlikely to go down. You can Dodge, use BA to attack, and use Readtions to reduce damage.

    • @Guyoverthere07
      @Guyoverthere07 7 месяцев назад +1

      Good point. Though we cannot BA Dodge when out of Ki. Patient Defense's free effect is the Disengage Action. Charger becomes a much safer tactic if Discipline bottoms out. Potentially risking OAs the whole time spamming Flurry of Blows. Though Grappling will mitigate that a lot with isolating enemies.

    I wouldn't discount monk taxi service. Monk speed+10, doubled by dash, ignoring Opportunity Attacks, is a heck of a way to plant your barbarian right in the enemy wizard's face. Especially when you still have two attacks to potentially grapple or shove the poor guy and keep him put.
    Maybe he answers with a misty step or a freedom of movement but then that's eaten his turn and cost him a slot, vs something that cost you hardly anything and you can just keep doing. Plus, neither of those prevent you starting to grapple and drag him back to the barb with your huge monk speed.

    @jasoneggleston1879 7 месяцев назад +1

    I think the new shadow monk looks amazing. Combine it with 4 or 5 levels of gloomstalker ranger (ridiculous synergies) and you've got something with tons of power AND flavor.

    With a 55 "walking" speed, I'm imagining your bad-ass with a gait like an Olympic speed walker with that goofy rolling hip action because they're always required to have at least one foot in contact with the ground. Wuss.
