Hey guys, haven’t played since OBT. Decided to give this game a try and build Monk. I lurked for a bit but honestly I’d rather get a direct answer. Is this good? https://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/lgm5k31676/
All these changes are a bit overwhelming. Also what about stats? Does 1:2 str:dex sound good or?
Hmm I think Paladin suits better for Kriv3+Zealot3.
Most of the monks I see running around with that build (which I don’t see anymore, they’re all paladins now)
don’t use anything but energy blast and DP from monk.
Anyway, I recommend taking 15 Zaibas. It uses up all your blind faith against bosses very fast which is a good idea.
Oh if you insist on monk I think there’s a monk thread here with a lot of info, I suggest reading there
I would take 1 out Immolition and invest that to make Fanaticism at 10. Otherwise it is good.
for stats, it all depends on gear.
generally speaking, you have 3 options: full dex, full str, or mix… duh.
I am running 50 dex and rest in Str.
But i know a lot of guys that run full Dex, but that is more of a monk thing then Zealot.
Zealot benefits most from 2 stats, SPR or STR. SPR only impacts damage of Blind Faith, so for your build, practically useless. If I were you, I would do STR.
But I have not played for quite some time now, it might be better to ask @Oreichalcos on that
Monk in my opinion is a bit underwhelming… I would just take 1 circle for the 2-handed mace, palm strike’s bleeding, and some knockdown skills.
I like more healing tile and divine might, not to mention the emergency life saver fade. I also like to be able to regenerate SP because of blind faith. So my suggested build will be cleric2-krivis3-monk-kabbal-zealot2.

I would play your build with full SPR 
no joking. DP consumes 50~51 SP per hit + FI (56 SP per second)… You can manage with potions but you won’t like waiting potions cd for spamming attacks, what it’s common with zealot/monk 
@Kostik is right about the taking 1 point out of immolation for maxing fanaticism and the stat builds. Full DEX is too fun to do anything else. If you go full spr you will probably be able to punch forever but that’s mostly because you will punch super slow and for little damage, do not recommend. Unfortunately monk is 99% double punch, so it’s all about pumping up that one skill. If you wanna play zealot there are probably better builds out there. I took zealot to make my monk better, not the other way around.
if your ping is korean tier go with full dex, its the best way to have fun with monk lol other wise go with like 150-200 dex then just dump it all into str
zealot doesnt scale with attack speed so they favor str, but a phat weapon will carry you more than stats.
anyway heres some basic monk/zealot builds
monk3(better at supporting)
monk2(better for solo)
kabba1 or diev 2 are taken so you dont chew through sp and sp pots.
Lets make things clear.
A high invested High dex Zealot with monk c2/c3 will out dps all other variants on bosses.
You just barely need you Monk skills on normal monsters and you need to keep up beardy eyes.
