Clarsen's Monk Guide

Diablofans member Clarsen90 posted a guide on our forums with a ton of useful information for players just starting a Monk character. Whether you just got the game, or decided to roll an alternate Monk recently, his tips  and overview of the more efficient end-game builds (with links to them) are both very useful. Check a preview below, or the full thread here.

Builds:

Quin69’s Holy Monk

Item dependence: 
Damage: 
Tankyness: 
Difficulty: 

A damage oriented build that works great in both solo and group play.
The most reliable, fast and easy end game build for monks right now. This build basically have you spamming mantra and sweeping wind in order to spawn decoys that deal millions of damage.

Dashing Lightning Monk

Item dependence: 
Damage: 
Tankyness: 
Difficulty: 

Movement and positioning is key with this build. Works in both solo and group.
A speed build that changes the way you play a monk. Deals a lot of damage but takes some getting used to. The build shines at lower torment where you can 1 shot monsters and thus keep up the insane speed.

Lightning Monk

Item dependence: 
Damage: 
Tankyness: 
Difficulty: 

Facetanking, High damage and a lot of procs. Works in both solo and group.
The build focuses on throwing a lot of punches to proc your cyclones and weapon affixes. There are so many variations to this build and it can be used with close to no gear as well as with very specific items to truly make it shine. Great beginner monk build.

DH BiS Guide

By now most of the DH players should be reaching a very high-end gear level, either on Season 1 and non-seasonal characters. philosophios made a video talking about what he considers to be the Best in Slot items for the popular Frost-Fire Ballistics DH build. Check it out!
