Here is the link to my defensive Monk Build:

http://us.battle.net...UhVg!eXU!ZbYcYc

The main idea behind this build is to be used in the Hardcore mode as it is built with ranged attacks with the added benefit of armor, resistances, and healing bonuses.

Primary: Deadly Reach (With Keen Eye Rune Skill)

Long reach attacks and at the end of the third attack, armor bonuses are gained

Secondary: Lashing Tail Kick (With Spinning Flame Kick Rune Skill)

Long range flame kick that shoots out a tornado in a single direction.

Defensive: Serenity (With Ascension Rune Skill)

Invulnerable to all attacks for so many seconds

Conviction: Mantra of Healing (With Time of Need Rune Skill)

Healing Over time with increased resistances

Techniques: Crippling Wave (With Tsunami Rune Skill)

Attacks a number of enemies in front of character, additionally slowing the attack and movement speed of enemies

Focus: Seven-guided Stike (with Fulminating Onslaught)

A hard hitting attack with increased damage from rune skill

Passives:

Pacificism: When stunned, charmed, or feared, all damage is reduced by 75%

Seize the initiative: Armor is increased by 100% of my dexterity.

One with everything: your resistances are equal to highest elemental resistance

The monk will most likely be my first character, followed by the barbarian.
