The New BEST classes in the 2024 PHB? (Monk, Warlock, Sorcerer)
zhlédnutí 12KPřed 21 dnem
DND’s new rules from the 2024 Player's Handbook feature a lot of upgrades to classes but I’d argue that none got more done for them than the monk, warlock, and sorcerer. Let's check out the strongest classes for dungeons and dragons with the 2024 PHB including the warrior of the elements, shadow, mercy, and open hand monk, the archfey, great old one, fiend, and celestial patron warlock, and the...

@@gilgamesh1973 thank you!! I’m definitely trying to step it up a notch on this new guide series!
Thanks for supporting one of our biggest live streams to date!! If you enjoyed it, be sure to catch our main campaign, Legacy of the Ashen, that ties directly into this shorter adventure! czcams.com/play/PLeB5owQ4Z8vj-dcDgi9qXBWsKZCUlm_S8.html
Artificer?
@@Dark_Pawn what about it? Haha
@ConstructedChaos they aren't in the PHB?
@@Dark_Pawn They are not, sadly. They weren't in the 2014 PHB either though. And WOTC said you can still play them since the game is designed to be backwards compatible but I do feel like they probably aren't as strong as many of the other classes since nearly everyone got a boost.
@ConstructedChaos that kind of puts the nail in the coffin then. They also seem to have done nothing for the crafting system. So makes sense.
@@Dark_Pawn Yeah the crafting system in this book is shallow to put it lightly.
Dont forget about druid. Wild shape is now boring pile of s
Mo, way to goooooo!! (And happy b-day Alex, you handsome bearded devil you.)
Thank you so much! Mo killed it and it was the best birthday ever!!
Feels weak. As someone who has been with Pathfinder for a while, plated 1e and has been with 2e since the official release i knew 2e casters were going to feel weak. That expectations went even farther, and then i thought. Feels like if you aren't a buff caster, you aren't an effective caster. Your dcs and attack rolls feel low.
Second comment: Would you guys accept a guess player (Me) 4 one or 2 sessions?
We play all of our games in person so that would be a challenge for us with our setup currently but I have been working diligently on a new streaming formula that would actually allow chat to play. It's been in the works for a long time but I haven't forgotten about it!
Some people (like me) loves seeing each character sheet on @roll20 or something
We usually include those in the description but we're using the new rules so they aren't available yet!! We'll make sure to add that for the next session once those rules are officially released!
I really wanted to get into this, but the DM spoke like they were holding mayonaise in their mouth, and the men were using deep loud booming voicing to over power the softer voices, causing me to constantly have to change the volume. I gave up early as it was not something I could just put on and listen to comfortably. Bramble was back-sest DMing, which was the most distracting part. The DM should have the loudest and clearest mic on a live campaign, if they don't the other players should speak more softly to respectfully compensate. At home is different because you're there, but this was a disappointment for a fan of dnd live casting & fey thematics. Even during the voice over the DM sounded like their mouth was full, and I couldn't understand the set up. Things to consider next time.
Imagine a gelatinous cube reskinned as a birthday cake.
@@brads2041 hahaha sounds like a sweet one shot idea!
Great job Mo. Ashley you are a natural. This is going to be a fun campaign.
@@brettguidry2237 absolutely!! Morgan killed it and Ashley could’ve passed for a DND veteran easily! I don’t think we’d have made it out alive without her!
@@ConstructedChaos 💯
@@brettguidry2237I honestly didn’t realize how bad off we were when we got back around to my turn. I probably should’ve saved my bonus action for lay on hands!
What date of the week will this aire?
wednesdays at 7pm central time
Haha thanks Grym! Thats our time and we’re sticking with it! Lol
i guess you guys fought that whole ass cake offstream 🤣 . Great job Morgan , great voice alex & again Happy Birthday brother .
@@Grymreefer hahaha oh I fought it and lost after the stream! I’m so happy you won the raffle tonight, man! So well deserved!
@@ConstructedChaos thank you , i will post my first character in the discord .
@@Grymreefercan’t wait to see what you get into haha
As a Paladin fan, the class was super busted in 2014 rules as a nova damage dealer and I’m glad to see it get reigned in and focused more on support and sustained damage… these changes are good for them, also the rogue was never meant to be a major damage dealer, they’re meant to be a utility class and this also lets them lean more into their identity, the Ranger might as well have just not been changed though rather than this change
They someone made Ranger worse. The overriamce on the incredibly shitty spell that is hunters mark has made my favkrite 5e class unplayable for me.
g
From the chat: '10:09 PMMoongoose McQueenAlex bring bramble into an ad' - Ye Gods, that would be funny!
@@Angel_of_Darkeport hahaha that’s a good idea! I’ll have to think of something he can talk about!
Are attacks no longer magical or did I miss it in the vid
@@Itachi45481 they replaced that feature with the one that has them do force damage. So kindof a nerf there honestly. Just a bit though.
@@ConstructedChaos yeah that sucks especially if you want to do that particular damage so you have to take the less effective damage type especially when some effects call for that type but overall good improvement but still
The hague has declared that wearing socks and sandals is a hate crime.
Elemental Burst probably should have scaled a bit higher on the damage rolls. Maybe there should have been something of an upcast feature where an additional die is used for every additional focus point spent. That feature might actually fare better at later levels. So at level 10, when your martial arts die is d8, and you just decide to use all 10 Focus points for an attack (if you can), it'd go from a 3d8 to an 11d8. Also, while the capstone ability of Elements Monk is cool, dealing 1d12 when you're basically at endgame feels a tad pointless. Then again, even if the 6 and 17 features aren't that amazing, I would say that the Elements Monk has basically become the ultimate grappler. They can grapple you at a range because their reach is at minimum 15 ft. And at level 11, they can fly, so around that part of the campaign, the Elements Monk can grapple an enemy, fly up into the sky and drop the enemy to suffer serious damage. Or fly them off a cliff.
Topple uses the ability modifier for the attack huh. Magic Initiate: Druid's Shillelagh on a Quarterstaff on a Monk with Weapon Master Feat.
That is correct and could afford us some interesting combos with monk weapons. However, unarmed strikes can just as easily be used for shoves now so long as we skip on a little damage to do it. Some monk subclasses even allow us to shove without losing out on damage.
I wish they actually buffed ranger
@@Belerin26 they technically did but not nearly enough in my opinion!
I watched this video multiple times and kept coming back because of how well you organized it.
Haha thanks man! I’m glad you’re finding it useful! To think I had this out and predicted the ability to weapon juggle before I even had a copy of the book 🤪
The new skits and cutaways are masterful. The warrior of mercy had me in stitches lol
Thanks so much!! I had fun filming them. Wrapping my face in bandages is always a blast 😂
Mmmmm I don't think deflect attacks would take away from damage sources that aren't Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing. Even if they reduce those to zero I don't think it would affect any riders with other typed damage.
I appreciate the input but I’m confident in my interpretation here! The text states that it reduces the damage of an attack that “includes” bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. In my eyes, it is specifically accounting for attacks that deal something like 1d8 slashing plus 2d6 necrotic or something like that.
@@ConstructedChaos Aha, I think I've been looking at an old version because the word includes doesn't appear. Yeah absolutely, if that's the final wording you're 100% correct. And monks rule even further!
@@20storiesunderno worries!! I appreciate you looking out because I am bound to make mistakes in videos as big as this one haha
@@ConstructedChaos Aye it wasn't meant in a negative way, love yer content and super excited to actually get to a table with these rules.
@@20storiesunder thank you! I’m excited too!! Happy adventuring!
Paladin is still uber powerful .
Altought i like many of the changes in general still some feel either like a dumb change, or a band aid. My personal beef on this are to begin with the KI points amount, seriously, just letpeople add their wisdom modifier as extra points on level 2 and thats all you need, the level 2 uncanny metabolism feels like a band aid. That way monks can do cool stuff without going insane about when to use them, specially since not every DM its going to let you have a short rest every time. The ki strike change for me its dumb, previously it allowed you to bypass damage resistances of everything but the trade was not having extra damage, still that made it far more versatile that hte new change, i dont like it one bit. Self restoration feels like an uncesesary nerf, specially when paladins at lower levels can simply be like "nop...no deseases of anykind because god", just make monks inmune to diseases and poison while in previous levels give them back their general proficiency with "most" saving throws. Dont like superior defense, specially when they took away empty body. In general i like a lot of the things they did, but other seriously feel meh or just jumbling things out of place that dont really make sense, at least for me.
You’ve definitely put a lot of thought in here and your opinions are very valid but I actually don’t share your outlook. I think the uncanny metabolism feature in particular combines well with the fact that many abilities don’t require focus points in their base form anymore. I think they did a really great job getting the monk where it needed to be.
{SMH} These are not socks with sandals, they are Hiyori Geta.
Those def get a pass then! Any time you see an anime character wearing those, you know they’re strong!
💪
💪🏼😎🤳
Been seeing you around for a long time, but your production value has skyrocketed with this one, and that thumbnail looks damn good!
Hey!! I’ve been seeing your stuff as well, friend! Thanks for the accolades and keep up the awesome content!
Ranger capstone seems very underwhelming. D6->D10 = +2 damage. And only when you have hunters mark up. Meanwhile barbarian gives you +4 strength and con. Which basically gives exactly the same +2 damage. Except that it’s not dependent on hunters mark. And you also get +2 to attack rolls, strength checks, strength saves, con saves, armour class and +40 hp. How are these comparable?
Great video , I'm unarmed 😁 , you dick kicked me 😂 , I love it .
I would always dump INT. Give people others to deal with it.
Fair enough! I kept INT since it’s more common for ability checks and saving throws than STR but I think that could match the flavor better.
Your visuals and humor has taken a significant step forward. @19:40 that Fleshmonster!!!
Thank you! Definitely making a big effort to have the videos be informative AND entertaining.
I see this class, then look back at the ranger… Absolutely not even close. I’m not sure if WoTC is using the ole’ army motto or not. “If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is.” I get it now, they took so much time fixing monks that they had zero time left for that other class. What was it’s name again?
Yeahhh I'm with you here. There's no denying that the new Ranger is more mechanically viable than it used to be but almost every class is so that's not a high bar to clear. I have some ideas for how to fix it and/or get the most out of it as is and I'll definitely be working that into my guide for it soon.
I am so excited for the new monk especially hopefully mixing it in to my monk Nyx. He and the rest of the unsinkables are preparing for a devil invasion from the hells
It's definitely a big jump but I'm sure you'll love it!
@@ConstructedChaos Hex yeah I will :3 I hope you are having a good day
@@8umber Thanks--I am! You have a great day too!
Been playing the new monk for a few weeks now and way better than the old one! And i played everyone of the old subclasses
Nice!! I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying it! I'm actually playing a Paladin on stream tomorrow but it was hard not to take monk out for a spin with all the new goodies haha
@@ConstructedChaos I get it, party roles🤣 in playing the elements monk and with all the fixes is like a crossbreed of DC 20 and the "four elements reborn" by Nerdarchy. I love monk because for some reason, armor annoys me🤣
@@karatekoala4270 Haha I definitely want to play an elements monk before anything else... maybe a shadow monk too. But, honestly, I'm just playing this Paladin because I'm on a mission to prove that it's still good and the idea I had for my character worked so well with it!
@@ConstructedChaos I can dig, like me you're determined to prove your point through actual play and not white room theory. I salute you sir! The ranger will be my test.
Why not Monke?
Asking the important questions. Why not Monke, indeed.

I love the new monks
Me too! I was pleasantly surprised that they did pretty much everything they needed to do for them coming from 5e!
First 🥇
Dang!! Lighting speed! I even published at an odd time!
The Rogue is still the worst class. Many people will argue that the Rogue is for utility and thus it's okay they're not as effective as other classes in combat but that didn't make much sense before and doesn't make much sense now. Any dex based character can just pick the right background and become the Party's lockpicking/trap disarmimg/stealth specialist. Charisma based characters have way more utility in dialogue than Rogues ever will. And even if you really want utility from Rogue: What's the point of going beyond first level? Starting as Rogue and the ncontinuing as a fighter was always the better option.
If Rogue is tglhr worst class now, nothing has changed. It was the worst before as well.
