Most fun class

[Scepter]

Like the title says, which classes are people having the most fun playing? I've been playing a Monk and I'm in act 3. It was fun at the start but I'm not really enjoying it anymore.. I'm going to finish the play through before creating a new character but I definitely want to find something more enjoyable the next time. I'd read the Monk does good damage but I've only been hitting for 6-30 typically in the low numbers and all my characters miss 50% of the time. I'm sure I'm not playing it to it's full potential though. Anyway, so give me some ideas for the next playthrough!

- Druid is nice with the wild shape options, gives quite a bit of variety.

- Sorcerer offers metamagic, wild magic sorcerer and the luck-bending / surges make the combat a little less dull.

- Wizard has a ridiculous level of customization in terms of the toolkit.

- Bard is extremely versatile.

Really, it's any spellcaster except for the warlock who's as dull as it gets, in part owing to being implemented like ass (only the Blade warlock works as it's supposed to in the rules, and it's the most boring subclass out of the three on offer...).

From a gameplay perspective: Paladin is fun as hell. Hard to kill, and its been fun trying to balance being the one to run out in front while also trying to heal the squishies. Add on the fact I had no idea what counted as breaking an oath, the setbacks have given me good insight.

From a purely 'This is fun' Point of View: Bard. Having a +9 to Persuasion rolls at Minimum. Being able to get items from shops at a 43% discount and having great unique dialogue Options Like killing the mood of a Bugbear Plowing an Orc has earned many a giggle from me during my playtime.

At the moment, I would have to say bard, just because of how versatile it can be. It makes a great party face. However I am toying with this barbarian monk because I just got tired of just having Karlach throw things and I wanted to see a raging Karlach with flaming fists..

Barb'Lock. Punish them from afar, Rage and decimate them when they get close.

Pala'Bard. Heavy Armor, Sheild, Buffs, Debuffs. Unstoppable?

[Red Phantom]

Multiclasses are the most fun, imo. Lockadin and bardadin are both really good. Paladin and fighter are both great choices to mix with other classes.

Funny you say that because I'm presently also playing a monk 9 / bard 3 and this character is my second most powerful character in my party after Lae'zel (and the only reason why Lae'zel is stronger it is because of Action Surge + 23 STR). I really have not a lot of miss with 2 attacks at 9~16 dmg each + Flurry of Blows 16-48 dmg. My monk is pretty much Karlach strength with more bells and whistles. Because most of my battles don't last more than 3 turns, generally my monk end it with a 1-2 punch!

Share your character sheets if you like people to tell you what you did wrong about it.

Best class: multiclass

Open hand monk with the extra bonus action from Thief.

A dual crossbow character in a ranger 5, fighter 3, bard 4 kind of way.

Great weapon master paladin.

[DDkiki]

pure dex shadow monk with shadow blade
any CC oriented bladebard
frost eldritch knight variations(maybe later switched for bard for banishing smite, or having one in the party)

[Extra Big Swimjim with Cheese]

I've only played through-ish twice, as a Warrior and Sorcerer. But I played them all a bit, in the opening and a little more with NPCs. I'd say Monk feels the best, but having a rogue feels the most useful. I'd keep coming back to play as Astarian every time, even when I had him specced as a trickster. His absence from the party was always felt when I'd change him out.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Druid/Wizard. All the options.

[Louis Cypher]

Necromancer warlock - Dread Overlord mod
Fair, balanced, interesting mechanics and lots of extra stuff that fits into the story

[asawasa5]

6/6 rogue bard go thief and college of lore. you'll be a ♥♥♥♥ talking, damage dealing battle field dancing, stealthy mofo that does all of the things. pick halfling and roleplay as tyrion lannister for bonus enjoyment.

[jonnin]

the high damage monk trick is to use tavern brawler feat with high strength. If you do a gith race or something for some armor, you can drop dex to 12 or 14. Str 17 +1 for TB feat is 18 at 4th. You also want a 14 wis, but its hard to get enough of str/wis/dex/con to not compromise your durability a bit.
at the end of all that, open hand..
you are doing your unarmed damage die (think it changes with level), twice your str bonus (+8 at level 4 generally), d4+wis bonus (level ? 5?), and a d6 'element' damage (radiant, necrotic, and maybe force(?) ) before adding in anything like the ring of acid or gloves of fire (creche area). And the TB feat is also adding +8 to hit die rolls at level 4! You almost never miss while punching out 20+ damage over 3-4 hits every round (and this goes up at higher levels and full gear and buffs etc). 3 levels of rogue for a second offhand rounds it out.
-----------------------------------------
fun for me is anything with at least some magic. Wizards have the most variety there, as they can learn more spells. The part-wizard fighter and rogue or wild magic barb are not caster enough for my tastes (only level 2 spells) so not recommended on those. Stuff like a monk, with no spells, do the same thing every fight... throw javelins and such until they can zerk in and punch stuff every round.

I have always stood by Druids. Specifically of the moon.

How could transforming into whatever you want/need, not be the best way to handle a problem?

Oh you're a Barbarian with an axe? Cool, check out my Owlbear claws.

Oh you're a Wizard with spells? Cool, check out my nature magic.

Oh you're a Warlock or Paladin with melee magic? Cool, check out my Myrmidon form.

Oh you're a Cleric with healing? Cool, I get free healthbars every transformation.

Oh you're a sneaky Rogue? Check out my kitty cat and raven forms.

Oh you're a fighter with many attacks? Check out my multiple magical melee attacks while in wildshape.

Oh you're a bard? ...😴💤

Druids are the best.
