I have a couple of level 90s

Last patch I played spear blood mage like everyone else. It was alright but the attack speed is slow.

This patch I started a bow monk, and also tried the blood mage again just for grins, but with a chaos wand build.

I've played both of them to level 90 and honestly, there's no reason to not just delete the blood mage.

The monk's action speed is roughly 2x the blood mage, and the blood mage has more cast speed than the monk's attack speed, in terms of gear. The blood mage has cast speed on 4 pieces of gear, the monk only has attack speed on his bow.

The blood mage occasionally procs a couple of extra bolts, while the monk clears the entire screen with one button.

The balance / class design of this game is an absolute joke, to be honest.

Every time I log into it thinking I'll get a couple of levels to finish out the build, I'm quickly reminded why every time I log out of that char I think I should just delete it.
