That about covers it when it comes to the Pillars of Eternity 2 Best Monk Build. Ring 2: Kuaru’s Prize (+1 Perception, +1 Intelligence)īoots: Boots of the Stone (+1 DEX, +1 RES)īelt: The Undying Burden (Up to 10% damage reduction, +2 CON) Abilities – Pillars of Eternity 2 Best Monk Buildīeyond that, take whichever skills you like. Ring 1: Ring of Prosperity’s Fortune (+15% Crit Chance at 200k+ gold) Gloves: Gatecrashers (+1 Might, 15% chance to stun on Crit) Head: The Maw of Ingimyrk (+2 Perception)Īmulet: Cog of Cohh (+5% Damage, +5 PER on Kill)Ĭloak: Violet Redemption (Up to 10% Attack Speed/Damage bonus) Armor/Accessories – Pillars of Eternity 2 Best Monk Buildįor your armor slot, I recommend the Miscreant Leathers, which are generally considered to be the best DPS armor due to high attack speed and lots of dodge/reflex bonuses.Īs for your other slots, there are so many options that it’s up to your discretion, but here are some recommendations: Not only that, it benefits from both Two Weapon Style and Weapon and Shield Style. What you gain for this tradeoff in damage is: increased Wound generation, shield deflection, +1 Deflection/Reflex per Wound stacked, and +5 Accuracy (or +10% Damage) with unarmed attacks. Its base damage is lower than a standard fist, so you take a slight hit to damage, but it benefits from all the power scaling that the Monk has for its normal fists. Tuotilo’s Palm is a small shield that counts as an unarmed weapon. Weapons – Pillars of Eternity 2 Best Monk Buildįor your weapons, you’ll want to leave your main hand empty and equip Tuotilo’s Palm in your offhand. Then, for your place origin, choose The White that Wends for the +1 Perception bonus, giving 19 total Perception.
The name of the game is to max out PER, DEX and MIG as much as possible without hurting CON or INT too much. In terms of priorities, PER is the highest priority since it gives accuracy and crit chance, followed by DEX and MIG. If you’re going to min-max your stats, it’s best to use RES as a dump stat. Attributes – Pillars of Eternity 2 Best Monk Build Multiclass or Single Class?įor the Monk, you’re definitely going to want to go with a single-class for the increased power level, Prestige and the endgame skills.
Taru Turu Chew would be hands down better, but Perception scales better (especially with Monk) because it adds crit chance, so they end up being about equal. The best drugs to take are Ripple Sponge (+3 PER, INT and RES) and Taru Turu Chew (+3 MIG, CON and DEX). But Nalpazca, when taking drugs, is undeniably stronger than the pure Monk. If you don’t want to do that, go with a pure monk. This means you’ll need to be chugging drugs throughout the game, which is a bit of a chore.
You have a couple of options with subclasses for Monk, but this build is all about having the best Monk possible, so we’re going to go with Nalpazca, which generates wounds when you have drugs. Subclass – Pillars of Eternity 2 Best Monk Build A Nature Godlike is capable of achieving higher power levels than any other race. Nature Godlike is the best race for a Monk by a huge margin because it gains a power level increase when affected by an inspiration and not only are Monks affected by inspirations constantly, their fists scale directly by power level.
