The damage output with Mystic Allies can be among the best in Diablo Immortal. However, is it wise to base an entire build around a temporary skill? With the right build around it, Mystic Allies hit even harder. And the move, itself, is hardly temporary.
Due to several factors, like gear, skills, reforging, and upgrades, it is impossible to list the exact quantities for many of the numbers detailed here. Any variable number has been replaced with an ‘X’ to signify its potential to change.
Skill Selection
These skills balance out single and mob damage. Clusters of demons are prone to exploding in chains while a single target will be taking every hit from both the Monk and its Mystic Allies. Mystic Strike does triple work as a mobility skill, enemy push/pull, and damage source.
Gear
The bulk of gamers will be hunting down their ideal pieces of legendary gear after taking the time to beat the game. But don’t forget to track down the set bonus pieces after choosing them from the list. A complete set gives three additional effects, on par with the legendary bonuses from the regular gear.
Primary Gear
Increasing the damage, cooldown, and duration of Mystic Allies is only the start. The Monk also gets a heavy dose of tankiness and a guaranteed way to inflict severe chills and explosions on entire groups of opponents.

Set Items
Necromancers aren’t the only ones that can make effective use of Shepherd’s Call to Wolves. Mystic Allies are colossal damage boosts ready. With this set, the easiest part of the Challenge Rift will be the final boss. Cast Mystic Allies once and attack; the last opponent won’t survive to see the next cast.
Reforge Bonuses
Even for paid players, reforge attribute bonuses can be guided, but are not guaranteed completely. With enough rerolls, any player can eventually get the exact attribute they want, but this will take time and luck, even for those who have the money. Therefore, several different attributes have been listed within the same family, in order of preference.
Family Bonus
The Vengeance family is often considered as having the best family attribute. The Mystic Allies Monk uses primary attacks more than most others, so few other builds or classes can leverage this benefit like the Mystic Allies Monk can.
Attributes
The Ravager tree offers a bonus to damage from summoned units, so why use Vengeance skills? Attack speed benefits the Monk and the summons alike. Plus, there are multiple effects that have a chance to occur with each primary attack when using this build. Stacking attack speed is just as good or better at boosting this kind of Monk’s damage.
Gems
There are two kinds of gems to consider for this build: the legendary gems and the regular gems. Players of all income levels will be using this guide, so there are three charts for legendary gems to choose from. Probability demands that even paying for an advantage will still make it tough to get the right gems, so feel free to mix and match from the charts based on the character’s most valuable stats.
Legendary Gems
There are a few gems usually reserved for tanking classes used for the Mystic Allies Monk. Because the class deals damage up close, there needs to be some elements of protection. Since the skills are all offensive in nature, it falls to the gems to do the defensive work.

The 2-Star gem effects are every bit as good as the 5-Star gem effects, some are even better. Although 5-Star gems will always be better due to the Resonance bonus, gems like Follower’s Burden and Lightning Core should not be replaced until every other slot can be filled with a 5-Star gem.
Between Ca’arsen’s Invigoration and Freedom and Devotion, it’s hard to say that 1-Star gems aren’t competitive. The Mystic Allies Monk has a great balance between primary and skill attacks, so even a player with bad luck will find that most gems are relevant at any rarity.
Regular Gem Preference
Given the choice between tanking and damage, elect for extra damage every time, allowing the best defense to be a good offense. The Mystic Allies Monk bases its survival on every kind of output.
