Never was there a harder choice to make in Diablo 3! With which character will we descend into battle against the horrors of the Flaming Underworld? Our guides will certainly help you choose the best character from the Barbarian, the Shaman, the Wizard, the Demon Hunter and the Monk. Below you will find the Monk's characteristics, active and passive abilities, key features and resource.
"Monks are holy warriors who are able to channel divine power through mere willpower. Regenerative waves, protective mantras and attacks powered by the power of heaven fall within their sphere of specialization. The most skillful monks deliver rapid strikes with their bare hands or with a range of well-balanced weapons. In combat, they prefer maneuverability to power itself, and they will whizz across the battlefield and avoid getting caught up in the same fight for too long. Monks' attacks tend to be melee attacks. They can eliminate individual enemies with great efficiency and cause damage on short range areas with waves of elemental power, emanating from the palms of the hands or with spinning kicks".
KEY FEATURES
SPIRITUAL POWER
By taking a series of hits, monks build up a reservoir of spirit that they can then use to perform breathtaking blows, often saving their lives or annihilating their opponent, for example by jumping out of a melee, disorienting groups of enemies or throwing them into the air.
COMBO
Monks' melee attacks are much more effective when carried out in rapid succession. Combos generate more spiritual energy, inflict more damage, and produce unique effects with which monks can defeat almost any enemy.
MANTRA
Monks of greater discipline can make their spirit manifest by projecting it outside with a mantra, a mantle of persistent energy capable of healing or strengthening the monk or allies nearby.
MOBILITY AND SPEED
The monks boast unparalleled mobility on the battlefield. Any monk is able to move quickly between enemies, circumvent them or inflict mortal blows depending on the situation. Monks who are particularly focused on the defensive arts are better at dodging enemy blows than other heroes.
RESOURCE - SPIRIT
To defeat the forces of evil they have chosen as their adversaries, the monks resort to an inner reserve of spirit, a resource that reflects their mastery and training. The spirit regenerates slowly and in two ways: using attacks and specific skills and completing combos. Monks who manage to chain the attacks can create an almost endless series of spirit-infused strokes. The spirit is a precious resource that can be used sparingly, but it's essential for dodging and defensive moves that are particularly effective, and for taking down coups of grace that can annihilate enemies. Thanks to their physical prowess and martial skills, monks can perform as many spirit-infused blows as the reserve of this resource allows, without waiting for it to "regenerate".
