Equipment
Secondary Stats
Physical/Elemental Resist - Physical Resistance is preferred but any element is powerful too as it will be increased by the Harmony passive
Melee/Ranged Reduction - some slots can roll melee/ranged damage reduction
Healing from Health Globes - this is a secondary because it increases the shielding amount from your mantra

Head
Laws of Seph - I strongly recommend with Blinding Flash Soothing Light
Inna's or Raiment's - if you have a nice ancient piece, you could use these to complete your set
Leoric's Crown - not real good for pushing when you have Laws of Seph, Very good for exp power leveing.

Shoulders
Mantle of the Upside-Down Sinners - almost required if you are planning on 2 piece Raiments
Borne's Privilege - if you plan on using Borne's set, you can use shoulders

Amulet
Hellfire Amulet - a generator healing monk has so many good options for passives that Hellfire can help fill with
The Flavor of Time - a nice 5 stat amulet would be a nice alternative (Socket, LPS, CDR, Vit, Life%)
Eye of Etlich - the range damage reduction from this amulet is like another passive

Torso
Inna's or Raiment's - pick your best ancient piece for this slot

Wrists
Spirit Guards - dropping stormshield will make you squishier and spirit guards will give you better defense than you had with stormshield
Strongarm Bracers - if you don't have a zDPS barb with strongarms, you can use strongarms. Only one person in the group needs strongarms.

Hands
Inna's or Raiment's - pick your best ancient piece for this slot

Waist
Inna's Favor - required if you are running the Raiments/Innas/Seph combo
String of Ears - a defensive alternative if you are dying to melee attacks (Mallet Lords, Horned Chargers, ect)
Vigilante Belt - this belt can roll cooldown reduction if you don't have enough to keep perma-Sanctuary

Legs
Inna's or Raiment's - pick your best ancient piece for this slot

Feet
The Crudest / Illusory - pick your best ancient piece and cube the other

Ring - equip 2 and cube a 3rd
[required] Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac - required for keeping perma-Sanctuary and spamming Blinding Flash
[required] Ring of Royal Grandeur - required to complete your Inna's set
[optional] Rogar's Huge Stone - huge LPS boost if you snapshot
[optional] Oculus Ring - damage buff if your dps stands in them; Static Charge monks are suppose to dash around and apply their debuff to everything so they rarely stand in them

Why I prefer Rogar's Huge Stone is the boost in healing numbers as seen below

Healing Numbers



Weapons
Little Rogue/Slander - incredible Attack Speed for proccing those Static Charges
Born's Furious Wrath/Solanium - this combo is very powerful if you have a Dagger of Darts Witch Doctor and roll some critical hit chance in your gear. The globes will feed his Gruesome Feast
Born's Furious Wrath/Stormshield - you can use this combo if you are dying a lot or aren't using spirit guards

Set Bonuses
[4 piece] Inna's - increase healing and defense for the whole party
[2 piece] Raiment of a Thousand Storms - attack speed for more Static Charges
[complete] Rogue and Slanderer - attack speed for more Static Charges
[complete] Borne's - the optional set will give you increased cool down reduction, life, and experience. Very good for exp farming.

Legendary Gems
[required] Wildebeast's Gizzard - life per sec heals your entire team, primary gem as a healing monk
[required] Esoteric Alteration - easily the best defense gem
[optional] Gogok of Swiftness - cooldown reduction and attack speed
[optional] Efficacious Toxin - if the support barb isn't running this gem, you should run it yourself
[optional] Moratorium - reduces all burst damage against you, all damage becomes a DOT that you can easily heal off
[optional] Mutilation Guard - defense gem for melee damage (mallet lords, punisher, chargers)

Cube
[requried] The Flying Dragon - double attack speed for more Static Charges
[optional] Illusionary Boots - incredible amount of mobility so you won't get stuck when cycloning
[optional] The Crudest Boots - if you are using illulsionary boots, you can cube these
[optional] Rogar's Huge Stone - increases your healing by a lot. I recommend the Rogar's Stone so that you can get the full 100% increased effect
[optional] Ring of Royal Grandeur - if you aren't wearing it, cube it

Passives
[requried] Harmony - reduces a lot of damage if you have secondary resist on your gear
[requried] Resolve- reduces damage taken for the whole party
[requried] Beacon of Ytar - redown reduction
[optional] Near Death Experience - defense passive for another live
[optional] Chant of Resonance - very good for spamming your healing mantra
[optional] Sixth Sense - defense passive for elite affixes. I don't recommend this one if you have a good a Esoteric Alteration.
[optional] Seize the Initiative - offensive passive for more Static Charges
[optional] Alacricty - offensive passive for more Static Charge

Build Guide

This build is the healing monk with a Lightning Generator Monk. The build takes the traditional healing build and combines it with attack speed. It amplify the Lightning Generator Monk's damage by causing more Static Fists - Static Charge to proc with Way of a Hundred Fists. The build will requires more attack speed than the normal healing monk so that you can proc more Static Charges.
