Both seem like they’d be a lot of fun. And I’m torn! Help me decide?
Right now my monk is level 5 half wood elf if this makes any difference.
What other gear do you have on her? There’s a lot of stuff that triggers on radiant damage/illumination, especially that nice armor piece in the Underdark. Clerics deal a lot of radiant so you can really stack the radiant orb debuff with the right items, even just in Act 1. There’s a particular legendary weapon that is really good to give her, too.
Clerics don’t really do anything as flashy as Action Surging for four attacks or casting fireball, but they’re pretty tanky for casters, have good support abilities, and spirit guardians is good sustained damage. They really shine in Act 2 especially.
I respecced her to life/warcaster and tweaked the itemization to support a more front line play style. It really helped her use all the range 0/touch abilities. It really made a world of difference.
But then we had a serious disagreement about ethics and I had to kill her and leave her body in another dimension, that kinda put a damper on things.
