Support monk by Menyk

Nobody never die

Survival + dmg by Zielzor

Its not my build, i found it on blizz forums, couldn’t find the thread so i decided to post this build.
I play this build 1h + Shield to maximize defense. Instead mantra of healing u can use mantra of evasion with 20% armor bonus. This build works fine with DW, 2h and 1h+ Shield.

Enjoy.

Keep Blazing Wrath, Foresight, and Combination Strike stacked for 75% passive increased damage. Resolve and One With Everything make you more durable. Main damage sources are Blade Storm, Air Ally, and Way of the Hundred Fists (don’t forget to mix with Deadly Reach to keep Combo Strike up!)

Crit/Attack Speed/Dodge/AoE Hybrid by Jamers

This build will rely on getting a decent amount of Crit chance and Attack Speed. Need to Crit to keep the Blazing Fists buff maxed, as well as Cyclones from Sweeping Wind.

All about stacking dodge and lowering damage done by the enemy and done to you. Still keep a decent amount of damage, but most importantly allows you to stay in the fight to keep that damage rolling.

Sweeping Wind and Crippling Strike reduce incoming damage (45% total). Mantra of Healing regenerates health and your spirit to keep up the Breath of Heaven spam. Serenity for big attacks. Air Ally helps chip away at enemy health. One With Everything makes you very resilient.

Eat my dust by Monkie

A twist of the popular extreme dodge build

Dual-Wield Self-Sufficient by arbweb

1. Mantra of Evasion always up (Backlash will burn them as you dodge)
2. Breath of Heaven before pull (Blazing Wrath for extra damage)
3. Summon your Mystic Ally (Eternal Ally will give you max HP and tank a few mobs)
4. Seven Sided Strike
5. Serenity then MoE, BoH if you need heals.

Invincible Monk by icarus1080

45% damage reduction, 2 ally and 5 self-healing mechanisms, and tons of spirit regen for spamming Mantra of Healing makes this monk practically invincible. Great tank and best heals.

Support Built – Best out there by Jackle001

This is a true support build. I chose all the healing skills with the addition of the Thunderclap rune attached to the Fists of Thunder – reason being I can teleport when attacking to stick close to the group and throwdown inner sanctum whem needed.

Tank / Healer (Semi-Support) by eXmachina

Use CS every 3-5 seconds to increase dodge. Drop IS for extra healing for melee or to protect the ranged. When spirit is low, BoH and use CW, spirit will regen quickly. Serenity if health is low, or stuck in a bad spot.

DW build.

Way of the Dancing Monkey by JWalker5

AOE Mainly, But makes you almost unbeatable in a Boss fight. Spirit regen is you main focus, Sweeping Wind is your constant damage, Crippling Strike to slow the enemy, and Dashing Strike to zip you into and out of Trouble. Wait for a boss to swing at you and dance behind him.

Support Monk(Healer) by Anthony

A nice build that can be used if you are playing with a good amount of friends. Turns the monk into a complete support role.

Sticky PVP Tank with solid damage by Exowneon

Utilize teleport from FoT, snare with Mantra, stack damage/speed from Blazing fists, Dash to followup or get out. Stick on enemy DPS and reduce their damage/mobility with Ally and net a kill. Replace Kick with defensive skills depend on team make up.

Momentum Monk by FitzChivalry

Nice balance of skills to dish out decent damage on a consistent basis. Reduced cooldowns and a few health recovery runes mixed with Mantra of Conviction with Intimidation rune reduce enemy threat whilst allowing for a mob-to-mob smashfest!

+75%,76% or 96% change to dodge

Tanky aoe build that reduces the enemy damage, has high sustain and strong mitigation.

Wave Monk by Seishin Kan

This build use Dashing Strike to close to mobs and Wave of Light / Seven Sided Strike to obliterate mobs w/ Serinity in case of emergency.

Monk = Tank/Heal/AoE DPS by Gimmix (Josh Reese)

This build is all about survivabilty mixed in with some damage and support. You want to stack gear that gives an even amount of Dexterity (for dodge and damage) and Vitality (for health). Keep your pet out, AoE active, and Mantra up at all times for the best results. Makes soloing extremely easy.

Be a TANK + HEALER at the same time. by Alorgarcis

Remember WoW’s OP holy pally in arenas? They are tanky as hell and throw great heals!
Heal on the run! Have friends that keep dying? This build will allow you to do the ressing easily as you are TANKY of high health and armor from dex+vit gears. NEVER RUN OUT of SPIRIT to SPAM your heals for all!

PVP dodge/stun build by threelilpigs

Focuses on stunning opponents while maintaining survivability through doge and healing spells…

Black Hole Mayhem by Ehnberg#2452

Great Crowdcontrol!
Drag your foes in with the Cyclone,
then make them stand in awe of you Flash,
sweep them of their feet with Wind
and ravage them with Crippling Wave.

Transcendence is GREAT for healing yourself amongst your foes while pumping out Spirit through your body of awesomeness.

4. Button 2 = Sweeping Wind + Blade Storm

Monk trash pack by Proliver

Use Primary to DPS and regen spirit
Use Blinding Flash if there are a lot of trash or if it’s boss during spell
Use Heal to Heal you and allies
Use Serenity to be insensible for 3 sec
Use Exploding Palm against boss or tank trash

It’s imposibru to die in this build even on hell.

Crippling wave + weapon damage rune
wavee of light + spirit cost rune
Breath of heaven + healing bonus rune
Serenity + group rune
cyclone + healing rune
healing mantra + resistance rune

High DPS + survivability. No CC. by Monko

This build will keep you alive and generate a good amount of spirit for DPS output. The drawback is the lack of CC. It’s comes down to how you like to play.

Unstoppable Tank/Healer by Xevanescence

Ridiculously tanky monk that has a ton of heals and never dies (low level friendly core build from lvl 22-31), nearly impossible to kill on any difficulty but extremely low damage. You should keep in mind that you are mainly a tank, so 1h-wep+shield, and a lot of vitality and dexterity on your gear

Stop Gate by Ra the Monk

Stop packs in their tracks and protect weaker high DPS players. Use two weapons, with a per hit HP bonus. Run into a group using sweeping wind, sanctuary, cyclone strike and then lashing tail. Keep attacking and using cyclone strike then lashing tail, wait for inner to cool down and repeat.

Support + Damage by Shakabrah

FoT: Fastest damage and spirit regen
LTK: hand of ytar to kite or chase
BoH: Party heal and CC
SW: Constant damage and spirit gen
Mystic Ally: Free damage and more health. Switch to air ally for more damage.
MoH: Your bread and butter. Spam for damage absorb and increase the heal. OP as Fuk

Avoidance and Reduction by Cam

This build is a dodge build with resistance. It’s just a build I came up with in Hell difficulty and it’s working for me right now. stacking one resistance and using the passive. If you have “All Resistance” gear, then use another dodge or armor passive.

All rounder, Moderate~high DPS and survival monk by YouG0tMaiL!

DPS in this case is dependent on your weapon choice and this builds basically helps you clear waves of enemies fast while having a heal+invul skill to save your @ss and still able to dish out dmg

Dodge & Aoe by Azrio

Good dodge-aoe-heal for Solo rare farm and tanking in groups. 2 onehanders and items with +heal pr spirit spent is required. Dodging will do good AoE and with sweeping winds it’s insane. If you need extra hp regen do BoH with infuse rune. Spam Mantra for healing – and only the other skils for backup

Mr.Never Die by djtt

just try it

Mojo’s Tanking Build by Mojo

Although I use different variations to this, this is a basic setup for when I’m tanking in a group.

Mojo’s AoE build by Mojo

AoE build that pulls everyone in and kills them. Fist of Thunder is used to close gaps and Crippling Wave after you pulled everyone to you.

I use some variations of this and depending on the difficulty or gear you may need to switch to some more defensive passive and runes.

Solo Tank/DPS Monk by Smurk

This is one of the most used build. 1H + shield is recommended but not necessary. Stack only 1 kind of resist for max. effiency through One With Everything. You can swap Mantra of Evasion for Mantra of Healing with +20% resist buff, but for me works Evasion better.

Max Survive / Medium DPS (Group Build) by eXmachina

Group DPS +10%
5 spirit/sec base + increased spirit BoH
2 group heals (1 is spam-able)
LTK used to knockback enemies if needed (also will heal moderately)
Try it before you buy it, but trust me you won’t want a refund.

Tank survival build by Angelzor1337

Dodge and resists. The pet keeps aggro off teammates by taunting as well as distracting mobs so you dont take as much damage as it gives you 10% more life. I chose the blinding flash over inner sanctuary because with large groups of mobs and elites, the blind works wonders.

Tank n Spank by ZeeKing

1hander + Shield
Dps+ Tanking Solo Build

PVP Monk by Jay Bissell

Great balanced PVP monk. Damage, Survival, Team Support

Crazy + DPS by TeronF

Just working on getting the highest + to your DPS you can get… if all goes well with this build you should be able to get get +140% DPS!

monk vs demon hunter by kavics

first i use serenity(ascension) and mantra of retribution(retalation) which reflect 60%damage.i teleport to DH with the fists of thunder and kick with the lashing tail kick(hand of ytar) which slows the movement speed by 80% and after i hit with the Fists of fury and i heal myself if it is necessary

Med-Range Kiting by rmkincaide

- Deadly Reach, Mantra, and Dashing Strike combine to provide constant kiting against melee attackers
- Blinding Flash -> Wave of Light combo is your main Spirit dump
- strategic placement of Inner Sanctuary allows for interesting area control / funneling options
- Use a 2H for better spirit gen

Health Monk by Desruction

This build uses Mantra of healing and Breath of heaven to stay at high health constantly, all while using fast fists of thunder attacks and chant of resonance to max spirit generation. also uses earth ally to increase vitality and buffs to resistance and uses 7 side strike and tail kick to deal dmg.

Relies on high crit rating for very fast spirit generation with fist of thunder. Wave of light and exploding palm for high aoe. 6th sense and transcedence for survivability. near death experience for accidents.

This monk is used to avoid attacks, (Passiv: GP – with two weapons, SS, Active: DS) with a lot of croud control (Active: CW, LTK, SSS). And strikes enemies with a lot of crits. to survive dash between mob groups and if ready use SSS. To support member use BoH and MoC. Incr. damage out with MoC, BoH.

All roundish build with solo target damage from 7 sided and fists. Aoe with crippling cyclone and backlash.

Build for Rushing from location to location.

Necessary High spirit regen for constant tempest rush (helm + 2xfist = at least 5sp/s together) and boots with +speed. Tactic: Run using TR, if obstructed teleport with FoT or jump with DS. On arrive, regroup with your party.

Serenity: 4 Self heal and immunity vs. Everything!
7-Sided Strike: Quick AoE kills
Blinding Flash: Protection4Group.
Wave of Light: Mostly for KB (can be changed with smt else
Combined hits and passive abilities are important in this one, keep hits mixed all the time and often use Serenity&Flash

Damage Reduc by Psychward

Spam crippling wave
Keep up mantra of conviction
Sweeping wind up on trash and bosses

*After that as much DPS as possible
Cast IS while standing still attack out of center
After Cooldown BoH and S as needed

**Variation of RedMercy build

Corpse Spiders by Agodaar

Much like the Splinter build you have 5 non-dmg skills and 1 dmg. Its a kite build using Corpse Spiders (Leaping) as your main attack.
I’ve used it through act 2 inferno and it works great.
You do need high attack speed and to kill elites before enrage you need at least 20-25k dmg.

Nature of Balance by bQuasar#1333

This is an overall rounded build. OWE, TGP, and SS provide the defense. While Sweeping Winds and MoE(backlash) provide the aoe dps output. BoH(Blazing Wrath) and Blinding Flash(Faith in the LIght) provide the dps boost. Stacking single stat resist yields 70% resist, and build provides 60+% dodge

monk inferno build by thefatcreature

monk inferno build

End Game by TheDuck

Get around 600-800 LoH and some respectable resists and you’re unstoppable. Can switch to conviction if your defenses are good enough.

Tornado Terror by Hello_Operator

Strong single target and AOE damage. Designed for A3-4 inferno.

Serenity – Tranquility and MoE can be swapped at your discretion. (not in group, etc)

Requires 20%+ crit and ~1.2k+ LoH.

Suggest 1k+ unbuffed resist for A3, 1.2k unbuffed for A4. Usable with 18k HP in A3 and 25k hp in A4

Primary atributs:

Catch me if you can by Athila

Dodge + IAS + LPS

25k hp / 30 dps / 2.70 aps. The reason I went for Way of the 100 fists is because it felt much more stable and flowing and every 3rd hit is a knockback. Comfy getting through Inferno with 800 average all res.

Ultimate Inferno Tank by Jordan "Tundrax"

Plenty of defense and heals along with dps for encounters.

Till’ Death Do Us Part by DcTSaNdMaN

This build will require you to have a considerable amount of Critical hit change 40% (Recommended)+ along with dodge change 50%+ (Recommended. The idea of this build is to use Sweeping Wind to own groups of monsters while dodging attacks like a ninja. Safeties are provided in case you need health.

Dodge Tank by Pendragon

Great build used for tanking in a party. Dash in, pull them around you with Cyclone Strike, activate Sweeping Wind, and beat away with Fists of Thunder. Passives can change, maybe Sixth Sense if high enough crit chance, or Transcendence for extra healing. Keep Mantra of Evasion up at all times.

Mustafa by musi

need help turkish language apply

easy win build by Reddeath

this is my main build ive been using seance i first hit 60, its been some time seance then and i have found no similar build

Cookie Cutter Monk by BennyS

The standard monk build. Just got to inferno? This build will allow you to stay alive from Act1-Act4 or from mp0-mp10. This build does not ‘crit. for 1 million’, more like ‘it crits 1 million times’. The build focuses on your ability to srvive while you do smaller but quicker damage to enemies.

Full Support Monk by Ricardo

Full support monk. Make your allies powerful and mitigate tons of damage with this build. (And heal a lot to)

Speedy Dodger by Channibal

Increase your crit hit chance, atk speed, and dodge chance to deal fast damage while avoiding attacks. Need a second? Use Serenity. Need more damage real quick? Use Breath of Heaven. Need to get somewhere in a hurry? Use Dashing Strike. Want someone to come closer? Use Cyclone strike. Be fast!

Transcendence Monk (a.k.a. Transcender) by miwabo

The build is simple: spend lots of Spirit to recover lots of health. This is done through Transcendence (Every point of Spirit spent heals your for 118.6 Life), quick generators, and some big spenders.

Evasion w/ GP and OwE by Mocexx

Slight differences from Sbrubles “Extreme Dodge” build. Instead of SS and ES use GP and OwE. The dodge increase is greater, and if you stack your armor for one resistance (I use Lighting, but it does matter) it provides more survivability.

Survival/tank by joshu4

been using it and seems to work great for tanking/survival

High DPS 2H Build by Shaka

Build up your bonus damage buffs with Deadly Reach and Blinding Flash before holy nuking your ennemies with Wave of Light.

AoE Monk + generator by Aaron

Reflect damage in AoE, deal holy AoE, slash around for AoE, explode weaker monsters for AoE… All well generating spirit and maintaining some defensive balance. Who needs a sorc when you can survive this long and AoE?

Added DPS by Scott

This build utilises a high number of Added Damage Bonuses to pack a punch into any unfortunate foe who happens to stand in your way

Totalling an added combined damage if you time your skills to perfection by 105%.

Note: This is not weapon damage, so if im not mistaken will be 2xdmg, enjoy!

Dodge Tank by DeerDawn

Similar to the dodge build proposed, more “tanky”. Use tempest rush to run into a mob, use cyclone strike, and mantra of evasion and fist of thunder for 51% extra dodge bonus. Use blind when effects expire. Dual wield passive, and healing from spirit. Use Mystic ally to as decoy and added DPS.

For Life by Chad Mienders

This will keep you alive and deal a good deal of damage. Keeping your sweeping wind up to lvl 3 is very devastating.

In-Motion Tank by Valdogg21

Been working great in A3 Hell. FoT/LTK for teleport/knockback. Heavy spirit regen and healing.

Monk In Fire by DwC

Focus on one enemy while killing every one else around you. Mobility is your way to heal your self. flesh of blind and round kick , is good way to crowd control. dodge while moving around and ironskinned while charmed or stunned

Balanced by Biagio

Quite balanced Build, mixture between AoE damage and healing versatility.

Dodgy Fists by BLAMO

I went for a lot of skills that increase my chance to dodge, and the faster melee attacks. Most defiantly would be equipped with duel knuckles of some form! Doubt it would work how I imagine but I will give it a try. And breath of heaven because mates look after each other!

Aura Monk by StarkQuark

The general idea is to deal as much ‘aura’ damage as possible, similar to a “holy shock” paladin from D2.

Dash into the crowd, and everything near you takes lots of area dps. Spam “Cyclone Strike” to keep pulling things in.

The Way of the Shockwave by CruxZ

This build is geared towards taking all the hits while dealing massive AoE damage. You won’t be able to heal off the damage you take, but your resistances should be so high that damage you take is trivial. Ideal for eliminating very dense groups of tough enemies. Recommend daibo weapon.

DPS + Heal best playable build by Gorkem

This build is specialised on dps and heal.
%57 additional weapon dmg than using 7 sided. Beacon of Yytar very helpful in this case.
10.000 instant heal with transcendence + shield and dmg reflection.

Crowd Control Monk by brandmand

An offensive monk with crowd-control and high damage abilities.

Crowd-Control Monk by Oliver

A build with great crowd-control and damage abilities.

Synergeez by CaptainAWeeAWoo

Uses synergistic skills to deal large amounts of AOE damage and generate spirit quickly by grouping enemies with cyclone strike and using exploding palm. Also gives buffs and heals to allies, and permanently reduces enemy damage by 25%.

monk by kavics

i made this build for inferno

(healer,helper) monk by Scream

it is a monk which give a lot of helpful things like resistance, damage, life regeneration and slow down the monster’s movement speed

Hammerdin, I mean Monk! by Norik

Tries to recapture Hammerdin greatness. Crippling Wave is the generator and keeps Blessed Hammer (aka Sweeping Wind) going.Cyclone Strike to bring in more enemies, Serenity when low, mystic ally just because. And Overawe Mantra of Conviction for more damage.

Martyr by Syl

Build focused on dealing damage around you and reducing incoming damage.

Hand to Face Combat by Slicedbacon

Best monk build, also obviously seven-sided strike is the best attack.

If you use a 2h weapon, use The Guardian’s Path instead of Combination Strike.

(This is by no means the best build, after all we have no idea about high level item stats)

Balanced Nuker PvP by koko775

Stay on target with FoT while cutting their damage by a quarter with Resolve. Set up a nuke with all the other glorious skills. Would preferably use Gear that increases stun time on Lashing Tail.

Transcendence PvP by koko775

Use the skills in the order I put them and you should be good to go. If you’re in trouble you can attempt a stunlock with Lashing Tail to heal up with Transcendence. I chose FoT for Spirit, because it has the fastest Attack Speed and gives the most of them for Critical Hits.

Survival Nuker by Acolyte

Lots of damage capability, mostly aoe.
Mantra and passive make harder to kill.

Fastest Monk Alive by miwabo

The same skills are used as the Speed Monk (accidentally) but this runes and passives are variations. This build is about getting into the fray and dealing tons of damage before the enemies have much time to retaliate.

Control Monk by miwabo

Uses debuff and control effects to reduce enemy effectiveness. For those that enjoy an alternative support role.

Blinding Speed PvP by Sinner

The goal of the build is simple. Strike quick and paralyze/stun the opponent. Keep your enemy slower than you. Dashing Strike used to quickly close distance and stun, then unleash a blinding flash followed by WotHF. Seven-Strike when spirit is high enough. Serenity is used to handle ranged enemies.

Monk of Sarrow by Tato

Quick, Unstoppable, best for bosses

the survivor by cody

this monk utilizes the combination of wave of lighting , and transcendence. This combination will heal you 18k health and inflict high damage on your opponent. After 2 uses of way of the hundred fists w/hands of lightning the monk will generate enough spirit to cast wave of lightning.

Palmexman by Iceman

cleaner spins

Specializes in hitting from a fair distance, with supporting skills to increase damage, knockback, and making you impervious to damage for some time.

Support Monk by zeroskillz

Designed to support the team. Dodge % to be able to sustain in fights, numerous healing spells, Increased spirit pool/regeneration to stay effective.

AoE Dodge Tank by Maxorama

Stack sweeping wind + palm + cyclone + BoH +seven sided to finish someone off. Can cyclone repeatedly+palm more monsters. Sweeping wind shouldn’t be too hard to keep stacked.

Use a shield, can replace seven-sided with lashing tail stun for panic button. I just wanted some single target DPS.

high dodge and armor, meant for dual wielding,
Durable with auto self-rezz and still has party
heals and buffs and blinding power to de-buff enemies
