Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player hilariously misinterprets Monk class for 100 hours Larian StudiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has been left feeling a little silly after learning that they had been playing the Monk class wrong for more than 100 hours. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has seen its fair share of extraordinary character builds and unexpected achievements. But the Monk class, in particular, has stood out as a particularly fascinating option for players who are seeking to push boundaries in the game. From dealing a staggering 168-320 damage per turn to traversing entire game zones in a single action, the Monk class has proven its potential for greatness. However, not every player\u2019s journey is smooth sailing, as one individual discovered after a whopping 100 hours of gameplay. In a Reddit post, a player shared their tale of misunderstanding, admitting to feeling \u201cstupid\u201d after realizing they had been playing the Monk class all wrong. \u201cThroughout my 100 hours of gameplay\u2026 I assumed that unarmed attack meant the \u2018unarmed strike\u2019 bonus action instead of unarmed attacks LITERALLY BEING UNARMED in the weapon slot,\u201d they wrote. This misconception led the player to wonder why their damage output was significantly lower than what others described, especially when wielding the Ice Staff from the Underdark. \u201cThis whole time I\u2019ve been playing Fist Monk wrong\u2026 I didn\u2019t even know Monk could surpass 48 damage, let alone 80,\u201d they added. Rather than pouring criticism on the player for their blunder, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community instead rallied around the player, providing tips and advice. One user recommended, \u201cDamage scaling doesn\u2019t start like that, but once you\u2019ve gotten past level six and gotten your hands on some decent monk gear, it\u2019s time to lose the weapon entirely.\u201d Another chimed in, suggesting the Open Palm subclass for its additional damage capabilities. The Monk class was once perceived as underrated but has emerged as one of the most creative and enjoyable build options in the game. Players have discovered the power of stealth builds, particularly with the Way of the Shadow, utilizing dexterity, constitution, and the power of darkness to effortlessly take down formidable foes. For the player with this \u201cstupid\u201d 100-hour blunder, at least now they can finally start unleashing their unarmed potential in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
