FAQ:
Q: Why am i getting instantly killed g33+?
A: You need Unity equipped, and Unity on your active follower(with a "follower cannot die" relic)
Also! 1000+ All resistance | 16,000+ Armour | 350,000+ Health - Is a good amount to be around.
Q: Does the sunwuko 2 set scale with elemental damage?
A: Yes, the 1000% weapon damage proc grabs your highest elemental damage % then modifies the proc accordingly (all item damage cannot proc area damage)
Q: What gem should i put in my helmet socket?
A: Diamond. CDR = Dmg + Survivability!
Q: What normal gems should i put in my chest/pants?
A: Diamonds until your all resistance is over 800, Then the rest emeralds(dex gems).
Q: What follower should i use?
A: Templar. Why? Inspire (x1.1 ALL spirit generation)

Shard of Hate is awful for this build because the damage is bad compared to buffing lightning damage. Same with Thunderfury. Pure proc weapons in general have been rendered totally useless ever since 2.1 patch, you should stash all your proc weapons. Odyn Son, Won Khim Lao, Sun Keeper, and Fist of Az are good because they buff your EP damage.
Unity passive can't be used without switching out the Mantra of Conviction, which you use for speed boost. You don't really need much defense if you're geared decently for T6.
I Think this should say 20% Lightning>ChC....
Hurric4n
As always.....my Monk thanks you.
I definitely enjoy this more than the fire annihilation build.
Or maybe having two 1H swords for transmog is more fun....not sure which.
