Anyone have a link or anything to what's good for monks in 2.4? Asking for a friend who plays casually, I just have zero idea what's up with Monks now. Not looking for endgame grift pushing builds or anything, just for someone who is pretty casual. Actually not seeing a lot on reddit? I have no idea what items/builds are good at all for them anymore.
The Uliana 6 piece build that worked in 2.3 works well in 2.4. The Fist of Az does more multiplier on EP so for casual players it's a big buff but the snapshotting Pylon and Wohf have been removed so it's a nerf in that sense.
Another casual/easy build is the Inna's Pet build. This isn't the most optimized version of the build but it gives a good idea of how it plays out:

It has pushed GR82 on PTR and was rank 2.
Another popular build is the Inna's Generator build using Shenlongs, Raiment 2 with Mangle. It's just a punchy build, straightforward as hell. These should be easy to find online.
Other builds are LoN builds including a Tempest Rush build that was rank 1 at GR83 and an Explosive Light LoN build for TX speed farm. Uliana works fine for speed farm too and is easier to gear for where as getting a LoN build up and running is tough for casual play. The TR LoN build just uses the new TR items, Hexing Pants, Channeling shoulders and are bunch of Spirit regeneration through stuff like Crudest boots. There might not be a build posted online because it was discovered late in PTR but it's definitely good though like all LoN gear it's hard to finish.
SWK 6 pc is very clunky but still usable. That will be his first 6 pc with Monk. Probably just use a Lightning Bell build with SWK or Fire LTK build. Good enough for lower levels. At top end SWK does less damage than LoN and is way clunkier to build around.
Raiment 6 is outclassed by everything. Still good for TX speed farm but the damage just doesn't compete against others at top end.
