Kanai's Cube
Hey Everyone! Here is my life regen zDPS Support/ Bonus Experience monk build for the 2.3PTR/ Season 4(coming August 28th on live)
In my opinion/experience this build is currently the strongest support build for the upcoming season 4. With this build, it allows your DPS classes to worry about doing their DPS and not so much about their survivability. Our life regeneration is 700k+ per second, and your party members life per second is around 450K.
Kanai's Cube Slots:
Weapon: Vigilance(more Inner Sanctuary!)
Armor: Leoric's Crown(to help with the 100% uptime of Inner Sanctuary and Epiphany)
Jewelry: Ring of Royal Grandeur(to get the set bonuses for Innas, Captain Crimson, and Borns!)
If you aren't doing speed runs, and are doing GR pushing, replace the cains set with Captain Crimson. And Use Blinding Flash, with laws of Seph in the armor slot of the cube!
Basic game-play strategy:
- Dash in to the bigger areas of the map
- Hold down your inner sanctuary button, as you should have 100% uptime, this allow a safe place for your DPS(usually a barb or another monk) to fight
- Cyclone strike to keep mobs in your sanctuary and to proc your strongarm bracers
- Activate your mantra when possible, to give shield to your party members, but watch your spirit, we aren't using a spirit generator attack(you most likely won't have spirit issues, with your great uptime on Epiphany)
Skill variations:
- Inner Sanctuary- Safe Haven : Even more life per second, but you lose a good damage buff for your party
- Epiphany- Desert Shroud: I have found this is not needed for speed 65-68s, if you're group also has a zDPS barb. I prefer to have the dash for mobility.
IF you are going to push, Use captain crimson set, and drop your spirit generator to use Desert shroud. You will have enough CDR and RCR that you don't need a generator.
Passive variations(+hellfire bonus):
- Resolve
Stat Priority:
- Helm: Socket>Life Per Second>Vit>Dex
- Shoulders: CDR>Vit>Dex>All Resist
- Torso: x3 Sockets>Dex>Vit>Life Per Second
- Legs: x2 Sockets>Life per Second>Dex>Vit
- Gloves: CDR>Life Per Second>Dex>Vit
- Rings: Socket>CDR>Life Per Second>Vit
- Waist: Life Per Second>Dex>Vit> %Life
- Wrist: Life Per Second>Dex>Vit>Armor
- Amulet: Socket>CDR>Vit>Life Per Second
- Weapon: CDR>Vit>RCR>Socket
You want Life Per Second on all pieces(where possible). With our skills, plus stacking LPS, we have amazing survivability for us and the group.
Also, max out on Cool Down Reduction where you can. And try to get secondary resist on all of your gear, instead of all resist. It works much better with our harmony passive as a monk!
FAQ:
Q: What gem should i put in my helmet socket?
A: For Speed XP Runs, use a Ruby for the extra experience
A: For pushing: Diamond. CDR = 100% uptime on Inner Sanctuary and Epiphany
Q: What normal gems should i put in my chest/pants?
A: Diamonds, For All Resist, since we are tanking
Q: What follower should i use?
A: None, this build is for group play only!
If you liked the guide, then come follow my stream! I am brand new at streaming, but I plan to be pushing hard for season4 and I would love your support!! >>> www.twitch.tv/therealscrotie <<< for more monk action! I'm also hoping to do a youtube video of the build before the PTR goes down and Season 4 goes live, if not, then I will make a video after season 4 is live!
Hope you enjoyed the build!
