Baldur’s Gate 3, inspired by the fifth edition of D&D, has been a playground for creativity since its release. The latest discovery? A player who’s managed to ‘break’ the Monk class, dealing a jaw-dropping 168-320 damage per turn.
The game’s launch has been nothing short of legendary, with players exploring every nook and cranny of the world, pushing the boundaries of character builds.
Now, a Reddit user known as OrkoTheMage has taken things to an entirely new level with a Monk build that’s left the community stunned.
The build combines 8 Levels in Monk’s Way of the Open Hand, 3 Levels in Thief Rogue, the Tavern Brawler feat, and a STR stat of 22. This lethal combination allows for 2 Attacks + 3 Bonus Actions, resulting in 8 instances of 21-40 DMG, a total of 168-320 DMG per turn.
But that’s not all; the build is further supercharged with two specific pieces of gear: Gloves of Soul Catching and Boots of Uninhibited Kushigo, found in Act 3.
The Baldur’s Gate 3 community has praised the creativity and sheer power of the build, with many players left stunned by the maximum damage potential.
