The Monk is one of the six available classes in the early access build ofPath of Exile 2.

The Monk is a mobile class that relies on dodging enemy attacks up close and from a distance.

Currently, the best route for a Monk is utilizing most of the lightning skills the class can use.

Dexterity and Intelligence are your main attributes.

However, you also want to pair those lightning skills with one or two air skills.

Glacial Cascade is the best frost skill that can be a highly effective boss killer for the Monk.

This ranged skill creates a line of frost on the ground and explodes after reaching a certain point.

The skills for a Monk range in elemental damage and type of attack.

After a full combo, the skill ends with a thunderous, AoE lightning strike.

Falling Thunder relies on the power charge system however, which gives you stronger attacks when fully built up.

When enemies are at low health from your attacks, finish them off with Killing or Staggering Palm.

Support Gems can help your Monk’s skills perform better.

At the later levels, you unlock skills like Whirling Assault, Gathering Storm, and Flicker Strike.

This gives the Monk extra mobility to stay out of harm’s way.

If you just want to clear out hordes of enemies, though, Whirling Assault is your best bet.

Passive Abilities help your Monk in a variety of ways.

For our build, only The Invoker makes sense.
