currently on Act 3 heart of curse nightmare

dual wield fist weapons

seven strike or serenity, dashing strike, cyclone strike, any mantras +

way of thunder fists, crippling wave

passives:
transendence
Seize the initiative
Beacon of Ytar

basically i use cyclone strike pull enemies to me and aoe damage, pulling can interrupts enemy's big move or channeling skills, also help teammate easily aoe dps at me, and saving teammates from enemy

pulling enemies to me can be very risky, when in danger,I will use serenity become invincible buy sometime to generate spirit and re-heal myself, or drink potion incase not enough time to heal, and with gears support life per hit and life after kill

also a tanker lol,

dashing strike to chase cowards

dashing strike I usually use to stun an enemy or bosses,
because dashing strike and cyclone strike are instant skill no cooldown time, I can use them repeatly, healing and keep myself alive. cripping wave generates spirit very fast

thats how I play it at the moment, this is not recommend if you dont have good enough gear set

soon I will try passive improve dodge and evasion mantras, see if it helps,
if can dodge most of enemy attacks, it's better than high armor tanking



by the way, do you guys use dyes?

I make my helm, bracer and shoulder vanish dye, so my monk looks like a real Monk, without fancy bracers, bare hands with knucklers, wear only monk clothes

seems like 1 monk and 1 barb really make things better

but now I can solo Act 1 easily, butcher is dam easy to kill in inferno (was extremely difficult for me before)

but........ Act 2 still kena rape by normal mob huntress/ warsps in a sec, on the path after left the city entrance,

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu


btw I noticed Fist of thunder and deadly reach generate spirit fastest, cripping wave slower and hundred of fists slowest >.<

bro... LemonAid here.
Although with high resist, dont expect monks do really take on every hit from molten n arcane mob. Learn to kite around

agreed this,


768 all resist here

must kite elite to fight, you can't take every hit unless you are fully super geared
