The Explorer (MNK/DRU/BRD)
This isn’t a META build, but a highly capable jack-of-all trades.
Monk
Druid
BardOverview
This isn’t a META build, but it is incredibly fun and versatile. It truly is a jack of all trades and master of none. You have FD, teleports, fast run speed, good heals and HoTs, great buffs, DOTs, outstanding melee DPS, good DD and are amazing at going anywhere as a solo adventurer. This isn’t an endgame build, but is built for exploration, self-sufficiency and maximum fun with very little down-time.

Playstyle Notes
You get to be a human, agnostic monk that starts in Qeynos that can go to almost any city in the game. You get forage and tracking as well as the best FD in the game. DPS is exceptional without being squishy. The Bard class allows medium armors.
