Diablo 3 Support Monk Build

One of the advantages of a monk is a large selection of skills that are aimed at helping not only him but the whole group. This allows you to create a build focused on damage mitigation, healing and crowd control. This creates ideal conditions for damage dealing members in your group. It’s very important to have Health Globes and Potions Grant +X Life (Secondary Stat) on your gear to stay alive and provide healing for your team!
