The point of the monkeys in Act 2 is to make you facepalm rather hard if you tried a build that worked fine through Act 1 but, due to having no AoE whatsoever, gets totally bogged down by a swarm of primates.

I actually think that's a good thing. For ultra-short events you can go purely single-target through A1 if that's what you'd like to do, increasing the amount of early build diversity. For general play and longer races, the monkeys kind of force you to go AoE (or at least very high attack speed), which allows you to make single-targets more powerful in the late game and makes it so every build is likely to run at least two skills.

Right now I kind of worry that single-targets might not be powerful enough, and people might go purely for AoE/Chain type stuff. Probably can't be fixed for projectiles (just chain the single-target to make it AoE) but for melee it gives some skills a good chance to shine.
