Build Guide
This is the standard support build. It provides more damage reduction for group than other versions. It's the build I recommend starting with if you are new to support monk.

Yes. You must use these three: Gem of Efficacious Toxin, Gogok of Swiftness, Iceblink.
I'm not seeing how the EP variant is 'better' than this variant. You have to give up Leoric's 12.5% CDR + Overwhelming Desire just to get a 15% damage bonus. I understand that the Overwhelming Desire doesn't work on the RG, but I just don't see the trade off.
Does the EP explosion damage do anything? It's not based on % health anymore so I don't see how that does anything.
What am I missing?
Hello. I4 build (Crown/Flash) provides more damage reduction for your group when I4U2 more damage (due to EP: The Flesh is Weak).
No. U2 used for bleed/damage ... every third hit of Crippling Wave causes enemies to bleed so Witch Doctor deals more damage (Pain Enhancer). My personal opinion "Overwhelming Desire" the best choice but stil ... not very useful.
The 5th passive?
Hello. I recommend passive: Near Death Experience (Hellfire Amulet).
Hello. Thank you! This is another "version":
Hands: Gloves of Worship
Kanai's Cube: Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander; Ring of Royal Grandeur
We lose a lot attack speed/healing (Epiphany: Soothing Mist) to get a chance to get random shrine effect for 10 minutes. I recommend use this build only when you are playing with experienced players.
By the way, I recorded a video about "most viable support monk build in season 11".

Well done! And thanks for the kind words.
Anyway that I can upgrade this, seems to do the trick but needs some more work. In 100 grift I either seem to not be able to keep up or me supporting my group I die about halfway through the rift. Idk if it's me screwing up or if I need to find a work around. Any help would be great!

I recommend starting with this (I4).
Good evening. No. Intelligence better than dexterity for support build since increases resistances (10 int gives 1 res to all elements). You can get int only on your Leoric's Crown, Hellfire Amulet, Strongarm Bracers, Oculus ring and Illusory Boots, others items always rolled with dexterity. That's why you want to craft Hellfire Amulet with intelligence (you get Monk's passive skill).
