Third tier
Sura
Sura is the alternative advancement option for the Monk. While Champion sought to bring the Combo and Spirit sides of the Monk tree into harmony, the Sura doubles down on specialization, preferring to focus entirely on one side and drawing out its maximum potential.
Naturally, this means each side of the Monk tree is expanded. Furious Thrust, Furious Barrage, and Furious Execution add to the Combo side of the tree, providing a new rotation that can be added alongside the Monk skills or woven between them to create a new rotation altogether. The same can be said for the Spirit skills, Zealous Hammer, Zealous Echo, and Zealous Rage, which add a persistent Burning effect for the Sura to take advantage of in their combos.
These trees are each capped with a built-in combo skill. Flash Combo rapidly executes all three Monk Combo skills, ignoring their cooldowns, while Last Exorcism does the same for the Monk's Spirit Skills.
In order to squeeze out even more damage from these skills, Sura skills also have the Stigmata mechanic. Each skill inflicts a set number of Stigmata stacks on the target, to a maximum of 10. For each stack, all Sura skills deal additional damage to that target. Together with some self buffs and passives that add additional interactions with these stacks, Suras are perfectly positioned to deal maximum damage to whatever crosses their path.
