Yes. I brought up that the performance of monks was as good as a baseline fighter, but it was hard to build a monk able to perform as well as an optimised fighter.I said in a duel with each other at 40'. You were the one that brought up the 'uber optimized BM/CE/SS Fighter' and how the monk has no answer to that.
You then appear to have suggested that the existence of a PvP-focused build built to counter that generalised optimised Fighter build indicates that monks can be equivalently optimised for performance?
Are PvP or solo- low-HP monster encounters common in your games?
As requested, could you go into details please? It looks like the suggested build has burned almost all its resources in the first two rounds on a single target.I was just pointing out that a Kensai monk (considered one of the weaker subclasses) can hold his own against precisely that exact 'build'.
And as for the two of them in the same party, they absolutely hold their own.
I mean there is nothing wrong with that monk build. It just seems a little focused on one situation, and I do not think its performance over the course of a normal adventuring day will match up to the optimised fighter's.
