Monk
Martial ArtistBest league starter I've ever played. Does disgusting damage, insanely tanky when setup well, and requires very little investment.

Quarterstaff is in set 2 because of Rigwald's Ferocity
Helmet anoint via rune is 
Well of Power for mana
I prefer Mageblood over Headhunter but it's preference. Mageblood movement speed is up permanently and the defense it provides is more consistent, headhunter has way more damage output potential. For Mageblood I would prio Quicksilver>Jade>Bismuth>Silver/2x of another previously mentioned roll.

Garukhan's Resolve doesn't work
Vorana's Siege is a good alternative for AoE
I don't use Rakiata's Flow because I prefer the consistent output of Uul-Netol's Embrace + Rigwald's Ferocity instead

How it Plays
Press 
Killing Palm against your 
Hollow Focus bells that spawn around you to proc Thrill of the Kill II and Blazing Critical along with generating power charges
Consume 1 power charge by pressing 
Rend to get an extra 50% damage as lightning
Then just run around and press 
Hollow Form - personally I tap and then roll, and on bosses/tankier elites I'll hold down the button
On bosses you want to use 
Pounce to apply Mark for Death II but this is optional.
