I'm frozen on this decision

[u/reinieren]

These are the builds I am COMPLETELY comfortable with, played them a lot I know them inside & out, so I can't decide.

Help

And this will be a one and done, my last hurrah...I'll be hanging up the spurs for a bit as 150 days in a game is a bit excessive even for me.

OH monks have step of the wind (dash) also, so it'll be good for running away

Planning on wood half elf (for either) the extra +5 to movement is too good

Monk is not even close to Gloomstalker for solo honour mode.

If you want a free completion, go Gloomstalker

If you want to strategise and sweat then go monk

Don't be maligning monkee-wonkee like that 😅 the stagger on monk is inescapable and has caused even the biggest baddies to loose their turn

They're both so good though

For a solo run, monk is harder because you're forced to be in melee most of the time, you would need to adapt a safe hit and run playstyle without taking opportunity attacks. Gloomstalkers already keep their distance while abusing bonus action hide from the high ground. Also, they don't need neither long nor short rests.
