Weapon:

For weapon aim for higher Physical damage + Elemental Damage with Attacks for Prefixes.

Getting + to level of Melee skills + Critical Chance / Critical Damage could be good as well, but base DPS is the main goal. UTILISE NEW RUNES tom improve it (Iron or Lightning).

Helmet and Armor:

Just focus on getting some Life + resistances there.

Gloves:

Gloves are playing huge role in our DPS, rolling Attack Speed / Lightning Damage and Level of Melee Skills there helps a lot. Some Phys dmg can be nice too

Boots:

At the boots we need at least 20% Movement speed to feel comfortable.

The rest is Rarity + Some Resistances.

is an AMAZING Option for early IF you can get it.

Amulet:

Amulet provides a lot of ES and Mana and can also help to improve the damage, since we can roll Critical Hit Chance, Critical Hit damage and Melee Skills levels there as well.

Rings:

Search for resistances and add some Lightning Damage to Attacks or %Lightning Damage if you can.

Main Skill:

is the main skill in that Monk Build - that can be used from level 22.

The skill itself provides great range, nice stun potential and should be pretty effective against both - packs AND bosses.

Use + as your first supports and progress to when you can. As your 4th Link you will need to run or depending on the rest of your gear.

Spirit Gems:

is the main way to NUKE things since overkill damage will help you kill packs and you have a lot of it.

is used to proc since we are shocking pretty often.

Getting and as additional bonuses is great to sustain better and rise DPS.

If you have mana issues - use as well.

can be used at the expense of other auras if you prefer it.

After 3rd Ascendency:

Use to improve your mobility.
