Since there are so many people who ask for this i decided to make a thread to collect good builds.
I'll start with the one i posted in some other threads:

Weapon with Shield!

the 2nd ring is actually not the same but has 113 dex and 101 vita

Important Stats are Dex,Life on Hit, Vita, Resis.
Try to use a Weapon with high Attackspeed!

This build is really defensive and tanky but should provide you with enough killing power to kill everything. Vs Belial i switched out the ally for sweeping wind and replaced the fear rune on the heal with the dmg buff, same with the blind.
I recommend this build if your items are not really good and you have a hard time surviving.
You should try to stay behind your earth elemental (and your follower if you play solo) all the time and kite monsters with your superior range ;). Use Serenity if you are low to get back in, not to retreat because you will regenerate enough health and spirit to continue fighting.


The second Build im using:

Dual Wielding!

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#agXYih!dXU!aacaZc

It kills stuff really really fast but it's really weak vs molten,plagued,desecrator and shielding since you need to get really close to them and need to hit constantly for the life per hit effect.
You are trying to buy time with your Serenity, Heal with Fear and Blind while dodging. Dont activate them to early because you want enemies to hit you to activate your backlash for great aoe in combination with sweeping wind.
I get 60% dodge with this build.
I recommend this if you have good items and want to farm in an easier than your current act or if you are really overgeared. It is really fast and fun to play.

I'm a bit tired (5:36 am here) so please forgive me spelling errors.

If there are any questions, suggestions or whatever feel free to ask me per pm or here

excellent this is just what i was looking for, thanks my man

For the second spec, do you focus on the same stats?

I do, AS grows naturally while dual wielding. Dex is the most important Stat in both builds since it provides you with Damage, Armor and Dodge! You will need Vita and Resis to survive and Life on Hit is a must have on build 2.

Bump, Feel free to ask everything you want to know about monks or my build, post your own build and make suggestions on mine

question :

deadly reach is the best prim choice, why? (mass defense skill imo, but i wanna have some more explanation, maybe other opinion)
i would also like to know if way of the hundred fist is also efficient, or if i have to forget it (i love this skill, zealot style!, but less spirit recovery and everything ...)

Small but possible kite potential.

Deadly Reach has the greatest Reach and is thus the best vs most mobs, you dont have to jump directly on them, and can let your earth ally take some dmg for you, you dont have to worry about molten or plague and you can kite and then if they get to you, you have a sick 50%armor boost!
Crippling Wave with dmg red rune is also good but doesnt allow you to kite as much. I think its alot about playstyle tho.
Way of the Hundred Fists is imo not a good choice, Fists of Thunder with thunderclap rune is fast and provides you with a knockback, normal mobs cant even touch you with higher attackspeed, also the spirit regeneration and the life per hit are great with it.

pretty much my build except a few runes + ally.. ally gets 1hitted in inferno so I think he is kinda useless.

Is it STR there make my damage higher?
