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) |
-1 |
|
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! |

|
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. |

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. |

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. |
-3 |
|
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. |

Control Monk by miwabo Uses debuff and control effects to reduce enemy effectiveness. For those that enjoy an alternative support role. |

|
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. |
-3 |
|
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 |
-3 |
|
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. |
-3 |
|
Infinite Heals by Kadabbler lots of spirit regen, heals, and protection as well |

|
