The best monk build is the one that jumps out of your mind, put some scores on a character sheet, grab some dice and have fun. That’s how easy to have the best build.
What is the best monk build?
Define "best". What do you want to do with your monk? Which parts of the class's schtick do you want to emphasize?
The best monk build is the one you have fun with.
Are you playing 2014 or 2024?
