In this article I will try to speak about monk and what this character is able to do in this game. The monk is a very versatile fighter which can inflict tons of damage with the right combo and what makes the monk an awesome class to play is that you generate spirit when you kill/hit monsters, I mean this is nice because when you encounter a pack of monsters you will be able to sustain your combos. This high DPS build for the monk can be a real treat if you like a melee combo fighting style.
The question is what path will you choose, because monk can really play almost every role beside tanking and he can be a really good team character with his auras or, as I said before, he can inflict tons of damage. Now I will cover the DPS build for the monk that can really compete with other more damage oriented classes.
