Best Monk Build Guide

We shall start off with the pros and cons of the monk in best monk build diablo 3,maybe you just started off and you are not sure what are the advantages and disadvantages of being a monk or maybe you have already been a monk for some time and you are still not sure which are your strong points and where are your weak points so we shall break it down in two sections: Pros and Cons in best monk build diablo 3 inferno.

Pros:
Mobility – What else defines the monk better than his great mobility,being more adept at dodging enemies than any other class and with the ability to move between the enemies aswell in and out of combat at without difficulties and with all of these added to the incredible speed a monk can reach(fastest class on long distance runs with the proper build),mobility is clearly one of the monk strong points.

Good AoE and the Powerful Mantras – Yes,the monk has a very good AoE having a rune with such effect on almost all of his skills and they are not there only for the AoE,they still do their job if we look at them on the damage output side.He also has the mantras,strong auras owned only by the monks which can help you and your party members very much.

A Hybrid Class – Monk skills vary a lot which allow him to either deal damage and debuff the enemies,heal and support the party members or fight in the front row as a tank.The monk is a combination of Paladin /Warrior/Rogue so he is a multi purpose class and you can either play as a support or a tank for your friends or as a lonely wolf because he can fit both roles.

Complexity – A particular thing I love about the monk is that it takes some time to master him, starting out easy and increasing in difficulty as you level and go on your path to level 60.There, the combinations between the vast array of skills you used to overcome the challenges and the multitude of builds show up along with his great potential and numerous paths to go,while some see this as a downside I personaly love the way the monk is built.

Cons:
No ranged attacks – Monks only proper ranged attack is the “Hand of Ytar” rune on Lashing Tail Kick,of course they have some long range punches but they still don`t have enough range on them to be considered ranged attacks.I should mention that Way of Hundred Fists also has a ranged attack on the third hit with the “Windforce Flurry” rune but because it is slow it is pretty uneffective.

Limited Effective Builds – I mentioned before that the monk has a lot of variation in his skills,well that`s true and he has a lot of fun/good visuals and other kind of builds,in fact he has a crazy amount of builds which are not only random and each serve a purpose but the actual viable builds which maximize your potential and allow for a smooth farming are few.

Lacks Burst Damage – If we look at the Barbarian who can land 5 hammers per second each hitting for 400%+ damage or the Demon Hunter which can unload deadly Cluster Bombs on the enemies in a rapid maner we will realize a monk`s only heavy hitting ability is the Seven-Sided Strike which has a long cooldown and nothing else.But,do not fear as the monk`s real power comes from the huge amount of buffs he owns and from the ability of unleashing a constant stream of deadly punches against any target.

Not Heavy – When it comes to tanking there is no way a monk with a sword and a shield can do as well as a Barbarian with the same weapons in his hands and can stand and receive as much damage as the Barbarian(considering you don`t have 10k dps and everything else thrown on hp/ar/armor),however because of its mobility and specific skills he can survive as well as a Barbarian ,maybe even better in some scenarios.What i want to highlight is that he can`t take as much raw damage as a barbarian can.
