This site lists the best Diablo 3 monk builds and has information on how to properly play your monk. There is a large number of diablo 3 builds that will be viable in the game and it will depend on what content you are doing, if you are grouped, what classes you are playing with, play styIe, etc. I will be listing Monk builds submitted to me by players, found online or created myself. I will also be posting helpfull information on how to play a Diablo 3 Monk and the skills available to them.

If you have any Diablo 3 Monk builds you would like to submit to this site please email them to admin@d3monkbuilds.com. When you submit a build also submit information on how to play the build and any other relivant information(how to gear, gem, etc). Please use the Battlenet Diablo 3 character builder as it is currently the most up to date engine for making D3 monk builds.
