Build Overview

This Build is an Endgame Setup for the Monk using Ice Strike and Storm Wave together with Hollow Palm Technique to make this especially suitable as a League Starter due to its smooth Campaign Leveling Experience and easy transition into a very well functioning Mapper.

Hollow Palm Technique eleviates the need for a Weapon, which makes this Build very easy and inexpensive to itemize, both in Campaign as well as the Endgame.

Our main Damage Source for clearing will be Storm Wave while Ice Strike serves as both our main Single Target Damage Source.

Included in this Build Guide are a Leveling Setup to use during the Campaign and the actual Endgame Setup that you will take all the way into Tier 15 Maps.

If you have any Questions or Suggestions about the Build, feel free to tune into my Stream at twitch.tv/DEADRABB1T where I stream every day!

I am always happy to answer any questions that may arise!

Build Variants

Level 1-22

This Setup will get you through Act 1 and the beginning of Act 2 up to Level 22, which is when we get Storm Wave. Before that we are using Glacial Cascade, Frozen Locus and Ice Strike.

For Gear we are prioritizing getting a good Quarterstaff until we can take Hollow Palm Technique and Maximum Life, Energy Shield and Evasion Rating as well as Resistances.
