Build Guide

[Quin69] here!

Updated: 23/10/2015 (to furnace setup)

Hey boyz! Season One & Two - Rank 1 monk (world) here!

In my opinion/experience this build is currently one of the strongest possible monk setups for competitive group greater rift laddering & XP farming.

Please note: I always keep my diablo fans guides up to date and will be making adjustments to the guide whenever there is a shift in endgame meta! so be sure to check back, and vote on the guide!

[D3Planner link]

Basic game-play strategy:

Use Breath of heaven on CD
Use Dash on a monster every 4 seconds
Apply/Maintain static Discharge debuff on monsters with FoT
Attack with WoTF during static discharge debuff (only in AoE, otherwise just attack with FoT)
Use serenity when required

Skill variations:

Mystic Ally - Air Ally (it procs static charge quite a lot, best for max DPS - if playing with a SWK monk that already has transgression)
Mystic Ally - Earth Ally (if you are having trouble surviving - if playing with a SWK monk that already has transgression)
Serenity - Unwelcome Disturbance (it procs static charge quite alot, best for max DPS)
Epiphany - Desert Shroud (if you don't like serenity)

Legendary Gem variations:

Pain Enhancer - Swap out Bane of the stricken if you are skipping RG's or Playing with a Dart WD or playing Non-season.

Hellfire Passive/Passive variations in order of power:

Exalted Soul (Max DPS)
Near Death Experience (not recommended, good for HC)

Stat Priority:

Helm: Socket>30% Lightning>Crit
Shoulders: CDR
Torso: x3 Sockets>15% Life
Legs: x2 Sockets
Gloves: Crit>CHD>Vit
Rings: Socket>AtkSpd>Crit>Dmg Range>CHD
Waist: 15% Life>15% FoT Dmg
Wrist: 20% Lightning damage>Crit
Boots: 12% Movement speed
Amulet: Socket>20% Lightning damage>Crit>ChD
Weapon: Vit>10% Damage

you want dex/secondary resist on all your pieces(where possible)

People WITHOUT shenlongs fists:

Do not attempt the build without shenlongs set (you will do virtually no damage)
