Use Dashing Strike to get in and out of the heat of combat, and don't be afraid to kite away from danger, because you can always suck enemies back towards you by using Cyclone Strike. Once you are almost out of Spirit, refresh Mantra of Healing and use Fists of Thunder to regain Spirit until you're about 60% full, then use Cyclone Strike again, while maintaining Mantra of Healing. Then spend the majority of your remaining Spirit on Cyclone Strike. Once your shield is up, pop Air Ally and immediately cast Sweeping Wind to get your stacks up quickly. Players should initiate fights by using Dashing Strike to get to the heart of the action, then activating Mantra of Healing to protect yourself. This build focuses on dealing Lightning and Physical damage, so finding items that enhance Physical or Lightning damage are encouraged.

Spirit is spent on Cyclone Strike to deal heavy AoE damage, or on Mantra of Healing.īy stacking runes such as Quickening, Inner Storm, Air Ally, and Circular Breathing, as well as passive abilities such as Exalted Soul and Chant of Resonance, players will have lots of Spirit to work with, so maintaining the Mantra of Healing buff should always be possible, and is essential at higher levels and difficulties. The primary goal of this build is to attain as much Spirit as possible via Fists of Thunder, Sweeping Wind, and Mystic Ally.
