Build Overview

This is IN DEPTH Guide for my Unarmed Hollow Palm Monk Build for 0.5

If you have questions - hit me on Twitch (twitch.tv/ronarray), I will help!

If you wanna League Start Martial Artist - use this build guide and swap to SPEED later when you farm enough currency.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

In 0.5 the Hyper Speed Build is BACK! Now we can use Martial Artist Ascendancy for Monk to boost the build speed and get up to 18+ attacks per second with decent investment like in the good old times.

For the cheaper versions you can still get 9-12 Attacks as well.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

This guide will explain how you can build a Hyper Speed Monk and will cover everything you need to do to setup it from Hollow Palm to required gear.

In the Endgame we are going to utilize Tempest Flurry to FLY through maps at HYPER SPEED + Staggering Palm which provides great clear with projectiles. Check the video to see how it works.

We can also use Hollow Focus + Living Lightning II + Culmination II to generate Power Charges to fuel both - Charged Staff for even better clear and Falling Thunder to almost one shot bosses. Tech will be explained in the Skill section down Below.

Campaign Rewards

Venom: Stun Threshold

Tattoos: Resistances

Pillars: Global Defense

Shark Fin: 30% Evasion/ES/Armour (Kaoms)

❗IMPORTANT - To play Hyper Speed in 0.5 you will need a pretty good gear, if you are on a low budget use Whirling trinity Martial Artist Build to farm currency and swap to the Hyper speed later when you will get Gear or more Currency.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Hyper SPEED (Up to 18+ Attacks Per second)
  • Dont need Main Weapon
  • Great Clear
  • Pretty Tanky (6k+ES /60% Evasion / Deflect)
  • FUN to Play
  • Multiple Buttons
  • Buff Management
  • Less Budget Friendly

Build Variants

If you wanna League Start Monk - use this build guide and swap to SPEED ENDGAME later.

In 0.5 the early leveling for Monk is easier with Spear and Twisters.

To get the Spear + a skill gem early you can create a Huntress and drop Spear + Spear from her into your stash to use at your Monk Character.

At the Early Lvls just focus on improving your bow and use any pieces of gear you can find, perfectly preparing higher Evasion gear for lvl 22+ Swap.

Iron Ring with rolled damage can help you with DPS so try to get them at lower lvls.

We are going to start with Spear for smoother experience - to get Spear + gems at lvl 1 - just create a Huntress character and drop both gems + Spear to stash.

Spending Orbs to add sockets to the Whirling Slash or Twister is not recommended.

❗IMPORTANT:

Use following combo to deal proper damage.

x3 Whirling Slash -> Twister -> Repeat

Using Whirling Slash 3 times before twister will allow you to get more wind from a single Twister cast and will improve your dps significantly.

Early Game Supports:

First support you get should be Rage I that you will use for Whirling Slash.

After that get Retreat I for Twister.

Full priority: Rage I > Retreat I > Rapid Attacks I > Prolonged Duration I > Magnified Area I

Clear:

You can use Whirling Slash to move around and use Twister occasionally to clear monsters.

Single target for Bosses and Rares:

You can use a combo of Parry + Fangs of Frost at bosses to improve your damage, however pretty often it is not even needed.

Just use Frost Bomb and your usual combo of 3 Whirling's and Twister after.

The starting position for monk lacks damage nodes, so we will need to take Concussive Attack and go to the Blinding Strike to compensate for it.

After taking it you can move on into the direction of Tenfold Attacks to reach Hollow palm right after that around lvl 23-25.
