Sunwuko Monk Build

A build that is great at solo pushing and speedfarming. There are three major variations of this build, depending on which Secondary Skill (Tempest Rush or Wave of Light) you want to focus on.

This build will focus around the use of either Tempest Rush or Wave of Light as your primary source of damage. The other major Skill this build focuses on is Sweeping Wind with the Inner Storm Rune, as it will now spawn explosive decoys, give you damage reduction, act as a Spirit generator, and enhance the damage of your chosen Secondary Skill.

Both variations of this build will use Epiphany as well, allowing you to teleport to monsters and giving extra Spirit regeneration. The rest of your Skills will depend on your primary damage dealer:

Tempest Rush

Wave of Light

Passives

Equipment

The primary armor will be the Monkey King’s Garb set. You will need five pieces of it for the full effect (if you Cube the Ring of Royal Grandeur). Vengeful Wind is another essential piece, as it will exponentially enhance both Sweeping Wind and your primary damage dealer. The Captain Crimson’s Trimmings set will increase both survivability and damage. The rest of your equipment will depend on your primary damage dealer.

Tempest Rush

Wave of Light

Both variations of the build will use Bane of the Trapped, Bane of the Stricken, and Enforcer as Legendary Gems, for extra damage.
