Part 89

Find the best Guild Wars 2 monk armor, including stats, costs, and crafting materials from vendors like Banoit, Corwen, Harlan, and Breyshaw.

Monks, like many casters in Guild Wars 2, tend to have relatively weak armor. The best monk gear is typically Armor Level 60, with some pieces offering a +5 bonus to magical or +10 to physical armor. These extra buffs often come at the cost of having less energy than some other sets.

If you are not yet wealthy, stick with the generic monk sets. The boosts on other monk armors are limited in relation to the boosts on better warrior armors. If you need energy, stick with the Ascetic's [tattoo] sets, which offer no additional defense but provide an extra 18 energy. The Judge's armor offers the best defense but with far less energy than any other monk sets. The Saintly and Wanderer sets offer the same stats, with Wanderer's being a skirt and Saintly being a dress. Karl's 15k Saintly armor dyed black is possibly the best-looking monk armor, if aesthetics are a priority.
