This topic will list out some nice skill builds that monks can use for MP10. Won't go much into gears since it has been covered many times in various monk topics before.

Some of these were developed by other top monks. I just wanted this type of topic for monks on jsp to learn and be effective on high mp games in any party situations.

Stupid blizzard is not adding any content and just buffing up the full party games for the next patch. So just wanted you guys to have couple different builds to have fun and be effective.

Idiots always say monks are the most braindead character ever since we just have to hold the left click and be done with it. Tell them to eff off.

If you have any other builds that you like to use on mp10 with your monk, please share with us here!

Enjoy guys!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These builds will ONLY work with nicely balanced monks in terms of dps/ehp.

Don't come here and cry that it's not working.

It's probably your glass cannon Crit Dmg EF set up monk that's effing you up. 300k dmg / 200k ehp with single lifesteal can go eat some barb shit.

Monks are not supposed to run around with Single Lifesteal on high mp games.

EHP directly translates to Effective DPS in my opinion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Speed Palm Build
Ideal weapon set up : Fast weapon + LS WKL
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aUSYVk!gVX!aZccaa

No EF since you need the Palm-ed mob to stand still to maximize the aoe palm dmg. This is GREAT for high mp games since mobs have very high hp. Most of the elites all blow up with 1 palm-ed aoe dmg.
Do NOT palm the reflect pack. You WILL die to that palm explosive reflected back at you. You can use NDE passive to prevent this, but I just don't palm them and use STI which obviously extremely beneficial for us in terms of ehp.

2. Skorn/TR/Bell
Ideal weapon set up : Skorn or Doom Hammer
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aejSck!dcb!YbbYZa

This is a godly build for VOTA essence runs. This is what makes us one of the fastest essence runners. Infinite TR around the map. Locate the elites. Melt them with bells. Rinse and repeat.

From my regular gear set up, I just change out my
Mempo -> Spirit regen Inna's helm
DW -> Lifesteal Skorn
Litany -> Bell SOJ

3. BlowJob Monkey Build (Nirvana)
Ideal weapon set up : Slow weapon MH + Crit EF
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aUSXfk!gVX!abcYZa

This is my favorite support build. And this is where EF comes in handy.

Pop BOH Infused light
Use Fist of Fury on 2-3 mobs
Pop Overawe bonus
Infinite Cyclone Strike for 5 seconds

It's great to have EF on this build because you need to get as high aps as possible to spam cyclone strike as much as possible within 5 seconds window.

This works EXTREMELY WELL with

HOTA Barb
CM Wiz
Bear WD
Bell Monk
Trap DH

This is by far the best supporting monk build in my opinion.

You have to be careful with nasty elites though as your permanent buffed dmg isn't as high as the palm build or other regulars.

But the main focus is to suck up everything in the screen for other party members to kill everything around you.

4. Infused Bell Build (Nirvana)
Ideal weapon set up : Slow weapon MH + Crit EF
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aUSXek!gbX!abcYaa

This utilizes the same Nirvana mechanic but with Bell instead of Cyclone Strike.

You can literally drop as many as 12 WALL OF LIGHTS within 5 seconds. Insane burst dmg. Best to spam these when the elites are against the wall since Bell knockbacks the mobs.

5. Smoothing Guiding Light Support Build
Ideal weapon set up : Fast weapon + LS WKL
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aUSYfk!gfX!aZccca

Cyclone Strike Smoothing Breeze works with Guiding Light
So, if anyone wants to use guiding light but not boh, you can do this. Great for permanent party dmg boost as well as sucking it up.

6. Full Party / Solo Monk Support Build
Ideal weapon set up : Fast weapon + LS WKL
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aUSXfk!gfX!YZcbZa

Using quickening rune on FoT lets you spam Overawe bonus/Cyclone Strike all time.

You can swap out Blazing Fist for Palm for more support and effective party dps boost.

7. Full Party / Solo Monk Main DPS-er Build
Ideal weapon set up : Fast weapon + LS WKL
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aUSXVk!gfX!aZcbaa

This is great when you are the main DPS-er for the party.

Fun builds from one of the best monks!
