Hello Community!

My Name is Sila and i am currently Rank 5 Eu Solo Monk, i made a Huge Guide for the Generator Monk that covers everything you can ask for.

I saw alot of Guides on the Internet that were just wrong or uncomplete and i decided to make my own Guide.

You can trust in the Informations given since i tested it out quite long and figured out whats the BEST for Solo pushing and also for Group Play.

I was tired of getting wrong Informations by Guides that have been written by people who only have surface Knowledge about the Build.

I am a Main Monk Player since Vanilla Diablo and was always on a High Level of play, but i didnt know its so much fun sharing my Knowledge to the

Community, since i started making my Videos i experienced so much positive Feedback what leads me to continuing

If you Like this Guide give it a + so other people will also see it! It helps alot.

Paragon Priorities

Core

Maximum Resource
Movement Speed
Primary Stat
Vitality

Offense

Attack Speed
Cooldown Reduction
Critical Hit Chance
Critical Hit Damage

Defense

Armor
Life
Resist All
Life Regeneration

Utility

Area Damage
Life on Hit
Resource Cost Reduction
Gold Find

When you are trying to Push serious you should at least be Paragon 800 to fill all Paragon Points.

Unless you are Paragon 800 you should prefer:

Core: Maximum Resource, Movement Speed until you reach 25%, Primary Stat, Vitality

Offense: Attack Speed, Cooldown Reduction, Critical Hit Chance, Critical Hit Damage

Defense: Armor, Life, Resist All, Life Regeneration

Utility: Area, Life on Hit, Resource Cost Reduction, Gold Find

Build Guide

The Current Gear Setup shows ONLY the Solo Build. For a detailed Group Build overview check out the Video!

Since i´ve already done a Video Guide on the Generator Monk which you can find in this Guide i will keep my writing short here.

Its an 16 Minutes long Guide with alot of in depth knowledge about the Generator Monk for Solo and Group Play, it also covers your Follower.

The Generator Monk is an irreplaceable Class in the Current Meta, its espesially good to decimate Rift Guardians in Greater Rifts and very strong to focus Elites, as a Generator Monk your Job is not to kill small Trash Mobs that are needed by the Witch Doctor in Order to kill Elites really quick !

I made a Video Guide that coverseverything you need to know for Solo and Party Play, it also shows 2 of my Clears, 94 and 96 with different Builds.

People asked me alot how they can stay alive in Solo Greater Rifts, i will cover the most Important things below!

Keep your Cyclone Strike up every 4.5 Seconds! When the Buff from your Shoulders falls you are going to die very quickly

Extremely Important for your Gear in order to stay alive are Secondary Resistances on every of your Items despite the Rainment Shoulders because they always roll with allresistance. Your favourite Secondary resistance as a Monk is Physical Resistance.

You should try to get Spirit Guards with 40% Damage Reduction because it helps Alot!

For Maximum Damage you should try to keep up as much Assimillation Stacks as you can!

If you wanna see the full Guide on the 6 Piece Rainment Generator Monk check out my Video and leave a Comment what you think about it. Its my first Guide for Diablo that i´ve ever made so positive or negative feedback will tell alot.

Sincerly Sila
