- This chart lists the most popular Legendary and Set items for level 70 hardcore Monks in Diablo III during patch 2.0.
- Since they must be more cautious when farming for gear, hardcore Monks do not gain the same number of Legendary or Set items on average as a softcore Monk. Because of this, there were fewer items widely used across level 70 hardcore Monks, compared to the Legendary and Set items popular with the softcore Monks.
