[QUOTE="ppaladin123, post: 6515298, member: 60923"] The monk benefits a lot from 2 levels of rogue for cunning action. You can use disengage for free and save you ki for flurry and for stunning fist. Stunning fist is pretty darn amazing (basically the only stunning effect not provided by a spell). An "open hand" monk can play like a secondary damage dealer/battlefield control character between the stuns, trips, and pushes. And prone or stunned enemies are easier to hit by your spell casters and martial comrades alike so you contribute a great deal to overall damage. Much, much later they get quivering palm which is the only real save-or-die ability left in the game...if you make it that far they are brutal. In terms of a damage "spike," though, the way of the elements monk gets water whip as a bonus action and hold person (all attacks that hit paralyzed monsters are automatic critical hits) but this will eat through your ki very quickly.
