You may be looking into the Diablo Immortal Monk Best Builds. This well rounded melee-focused damage class has several builds you can go for to make the best Monk in the game. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make the Diablo Immortal Monk best build.

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build (Explained)

Our best Diablo Immortal Monk build revolves around on dealing AOE damage. While the Monk has some decent support capabilities, this build can be modified to function in any party composition but is purely focused on dealing damage. Monks need to be able to slip in and out of any fight and this build is perfect for that.

Read our Diablo Immortal Tier List – Classes Ranked for the Monk’s placement on our tier list.

Here are the best build choices for the Diablo Immortal Monk class:

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Skills

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Skills

  • Fists of Thunder: Teleport to the enemy and unleash a torrent of punches. Can teleport again after the third hit.
  • Exploding Palm: A directed attack that damages enemies and inflicts bleed damage. Enemies killed by bleeding explodes, dealing additional damage.
  • Seven Sided Strike: Dashes rapidly within an area, damaging enemies contained within it over 7 strikes.
  • Flying Dragon: A flying attack that pulls in enemies and damages them when you reach the end.

The Fists of Thunder is already unlocked from Level 1 and is an amazing skill from the get go, there’s no reason to change up your Primary Attack. Monks need to be fast and this Primary Attack is perfect for teleporting to enemies to deliver strikes.

The Seven Sided Strike and Flying Dragon are great skills for putting you close and personal with the enemy mob. Seven Sided Strike can be modified to burn enemies if you have the Dragon’s Indignation equipped.

No Monk build is ever complete without the Exploding Palm and it’s not worth switching this skill out for anything else. It’s good for crowd control and can thin out enemy mobs fast.

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Attributes

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Attributes

  • Weapons: Fortitude, Damage, Strength
  • Armor: Fortitude, Strength
  • Gems: Damage, Resistance, Armor Penetration

You need to look for equipment that boosts specific attributes. The Monk class only uses a few so it’s a waste to equip an item with certain attributes that don’t give the Monk anything.

For Weapons and Armor, you want to look for high Damage, Fortitude, & Strength. The Monk is a melee-focused class so it shouldn’t be surprising that these attributes will be prioritized for the Diablo Immortal Monk best build.

For Gems, you’ll want to focus on defensive properties such as Resistance and Armor Penetration. Though it wouldn’t hurt to have additional Damage attributes sprinkled between. Look for Topaz, Sapphire, and Tourmaline Gems for these attributes.

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Legendary Gems

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Legendary Gems

  • Berserker’s Eye: Increased damage dealt but also increases damage taken
  • Lightning Core: Will charge up by doing Primary Attacks and Movement, when full it will release a Chain Lightning effect that deals damage to the area.
  • Blood-Soaked Jade: Increases movement speed and damage dealt in conjunction to remaining health. The lower your health is, the lower the increased bonus.

Legendary Gems can take some work to get a hold of, but they do provide additional bonuses that you will want. It will take some time to acquire these Legendary Gems for your Diablo Immortal Monk Best Build, but they’ll be well worth it.

Despite being a One-star Legendary Gem, the Berserker’s Eye can be crafted from the Apprentice Jeweler and is good for beginners provided that you have some way to heal yourself. This will increase your damage but will also make you take more. Lightning Core is a Two-star gem that can also be crafted from the same NPC. Moving around and dealing damage with your Primary Attacks will charge your character and deal Chain Lightning effect that deals damage to the area.

Blood-Soaked Jade is challenging to get as this Five-star Legendary Gem can only be received as a random drop. It will increase your damage and movement speed in conjunction to how much health you have. You might want to swap Berserker’s Eye for something else if you get this because the lower your health is, the less bonus you receive.

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Equipment

  • Dragon’s Indignation: Modifies the Seven Sided Strike to burn enemies continuously.

Aside from looking for equipment with the attributes we listed above, we recommend getting your hands on the Dragon’s Indignation, a main hand Monk class exclusive that modifies the Seven Sided Strike to add burn damage to enemies.

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Paragon Traits

Best Diablo Immortal Monk Build Paragon Traits

  • Vanquisher: Bonuses to damage and penetration.

For Paragon traits, we recommend focusing on the Vanquisher skill tree. This skill tree offers boosts to damage and armor penetration.

The Zeal underneath Vanquisher is especially worth investing in since it increases attack speed for every foe defeated. This is perfect for the constantly attacking Monk class.

Monk is a lot more agile and can occasionally hit for a tremendous amount of damage, but they’re perhaps better at buffing their companions thanks to a range of powerful support spells. As such, the Monk is one of the more adaptable classes specifically in PVP and PVE.
