Build Guide

High Greater Rift - Solo

The Broken Palm monk will give you the most epic explosions while you still keep your pool stack intact. With the power from both Sunwuko, Shenlong and Rainments you have officially become a hard hitting face tanking palm monk. Note that this is a group build ment for speed farming exp in 4 player.

With decent to high single target damage plus the insane damage from your palms I rate this ~~one of~~ the best builds for speed farming GR's.
Maintain high spirit while popping some palm on the low hp monsters and also to get the Sunwuko Buff.

--- Stat priority ---

^{All gear must have secondary resist}

Cooldown:
Decreases the downtime on Epiphany which is required for the damage reduction in high greater rifts.

Critical Hit Chance:
You MUST remove all crit from gear and paragon points. With no Crit on gear or Paragon you have 5%. This is because we use Broken Promise in cube.

Stat Goals:
Crit Chance: 5%
Health: 800k+
Armor: 19k+
Resist: 14k+

--- Tips, Tricks & Others ---

Force move:
Get used to using this right away if you aren't already. It makes moving past or in between monsters a lot easier.

Kadala Priority:
Helm, Shoulder, Glove and then get 1 extra so that you can “Convert Set Item” and get Sunwuko’s Neck
Bracers - Gungdo Gear, Spirit Guards
Chest / Legs / Boots - Depth Diggers and Rainments Set
Belt - Witching Hour
Weapons - Shenlong’s Fists and also Rare fist weapons that you can upgrade with the cube

Hope you found the guide useful. Remember that the purpose of a guide should be to point you in a direction. You can almost never follow a guide 100% due to stuff like missing stats on gear or just simply low paragon level. Feel free to ask any questions below.
