There are a thousand reasons to play co-op. If you’re not already, you need to start. This post is a guide on how two monks can absolutely dominate Inferno. Farm faster, die less, and most importantly have more fun.
Monk 1 – Tanky Tank Tank
Monk 1 should run this build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#WiYXgh!XfU!ZccbYa
The crippling wave with concussion will dramatically reduce the mob’s DPS and then he should spam Mantra of Evasion to give the whole party extra dodge chance. This build can be run with a sword/shield or dual wield. If you’re dual wield you’ll want to swap out one of your passives for the 15% increased dodge. But I recommend running with a shield for the extra armor and critical hit chance. Crippling wave is great with a high crit chance because every mob you hit with crippling wave “counts” as a hit, thus when you’re surrounded by 5-6 mobs with 50% crit you’ll be spawning 5-6 tornadoes every second for a massive DPS increase.
Monk 2 – DPS Monster
Monk 2 should run this build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aiYXgk!dZU!bccbYa
FoT is still the best DPS generator with high crit running sweeping wind cyclone IMO, and the teleport can actually be very useful in group situations letting you bounce around to different mobs and catching up very quickly to your tank(who should always be infront). If you find that this still teleports you into too much fire/lava/poison you can swap the rune out for the bounding light rune.
Monk 2 will want to constantly spam conviction so that the whole group is doing 48%(not 192% lol) more DPS to the effected mobs. Since Monk 2 is more built for DPS he should use the resolve passive and give the entire group even more damage mitigation.
If you’re on vent you can co-ordinate your blinding flashes to keep the mobs blinded for a longer period.
Equipment build I recommend for the 2nd monk, share via social media to reveal
