Build Guide

Hi, after patch I died with my monk on the lag spikes (and they are still there) , when I killed monster pack dashing strike did not move me and that was the end.

As I did not had backup gear, I started to play with blackthorn set and I love it. I was also looking for a new torch to keep WOL spamming, but no luck till today so I just changed main skill to save spirit, and I have to say I don’t need Innas or torch, you can play easily without it. I hope I will find some Furnace that will boost me more.

Playing style is easy; just mark some weak monster in the group with palm, than kill it - done. For spirit just use ally, or epiphany

Sorry for my terrible English, I hope that this can help some HC players that have problems with lag spikes
