Build Guide

Hello there everyone my name is Dreamhax, and I recently pickup diablo 3 again after a 2 months break. I wanted to share this build with you (video will be comming soon).

Alot of credit goes to Quin since my guide is really close to his cdr build.

So my current ingame cdr is 67,6. And im still working on the build. (missing crown and strongarms and gems). Yesterday i got rank 17 in 2's (grift 31) with this build (eventho its aimed for 4 player setups).

My profile: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Dreamhax-2581/hero/48044156 - Note i dont have any of high level gems equipped atm.

Benifits:
There is 7 sec downtime on epiphany atm. But with a full build epiphany will be there 100% of the time (immune to freeze, jailer, stun, vortex)
Almost permanent 55% extra dmg reduce (from IS) - Depending on how fast the group moves (and ur cdr ofc)
Boosting your team with (30% IS, 10%CW, 10% gem, 30% bracer) 80% more dmg.
You can have 40% dodge permanently if you learn to manage your dash strikes properly. (Not needed to survive 35 grift, but more toughness is always great.

Gems
I recommend the following gems:



Gogok of Swiftness

  • Base Effect: 50% chance on hit to gain Swiftness, increasing your Attack Speed 1% for 4 seconds. This effect stacks up to 15 times.
  • Upgrade rank grants: +1% chance.
  • Rank 25 unlocks: Gain 1% Cooldown Reduction per stack of Swiftness.
Gem of Efficacious Toxin

  • Base Effect: Poison all enemies hit for 2000% weapon damage over 10 seconds.
  • Upgrade rank grants: +50% weapon damage over 10 seconds.
  • Rank 25 unlocks: All enemies you poison take 10% increased damage from all sources.
Bane of the Trapped

  • Base effect: Increase damage against enemies under control-impairing effects by 15%.
  • Upgrade rank grants: +0.3% damage.
  • Rank 25 unlocks: Gain an aura that reduces the movement speed of enemies within 15 yards by 30%.
Trapped is really strong if ur team mates are running trapped aswell. The other two are selfexplainatory

If you dont wanna use trapped other good options would be staggered for less dmg taken or Zei's stone for stun chance.

Keep in mind most of the gems only becomes worthwhile in rank 25.




Mantra:
Theres a few good mantras depending on the situation:

Mantra of healing - Time of Need Playing with demonhunters/mixed ranged dps; The shield spam from the mantra protects them more than any other mantra would.
Mantra of salvation - Agility/Perseverance Playing with wizzards; If your wizzard mate(s) are using Dominance (Shield passive) they will benifit more from salvation with increased resist or dodge.
Mantra of conviction - Overawe When running through a grift feeling safe without making the timelimit, overawe can help closing that gap.

Goal:

The goal for this build is to stay infront of your squishy dps'ers and protect them, while increasing their dmg by insane amounts.

Do NOT use this build if:
- You dont have a high dps mate (2's)
- You are playing below Grift 27


Really short guide hopefully it helps some monks out there, video will be comming shortly :) Stay safe broz!
