Build Guide
This is a Tempest Rush build for patch 2.4 using the new Sunwuko set 6 piece bonus. Thanks to double Air Ally, Inner Storm and Hexing Pants you are always at max Spirit so Aquilla Curass is reducing your damage by 50% plus you have double Unity, SWK 2 piece and Desert Shroud for a total of four 50% damage reductions which equal 93.75% damage reduction overall! Zodiac Ring keeps your Blinding Flash and Epiphany always available when needed and Blinding Flash triggers the new bracers which boost TR damage by 300% - 400%. The change to the Balance daibo makes TR have a 100% crit chance when you hit 3 or less targets so it definitely helps against Elites and Rift Guardians.
Aquila in the cube can be swapped with Mantle of Channeling for a little more damage and a little less damage reduction. Epiphany Desert
Shroud rune can be swapped to Ascendance rune for even more uptime on Cesar's Memento.
Is this build still viable? Can you do GRs with it?
Do you think that SWK (3000% enhanced damage) is more efficient than Inna (with 10 Allies - 500% enhanced damage + mantras) or LoN (1300% enhanced damage) to use Tempest Rush???
My wife is running now with two One Punch Monks (Wave Of Light), one with SWK and other with Inna, and it seems that the Inna's is stronger (at least more balanced). This is why I'm asking. I'm new to monks and I'm still learning.
And why you choose Aquila Cuirass instead of Mantle of Channeling in the cube?
Thanks!
As far as Tempest Rush builds go, SWK again just does WAY more damage than Inna's. A 31x multiplier is way more than Inna's 6x multiplier. That is why I suggested Aquila but I also said you could go with Mantle of Channeling for more DPS but less DR. A LoN TR build is possible but pretty hard to gear for since you need near perfect rolled ancients to be effective.
Lightning TR might be even more effective than Holy TR since the combination of lightning TR and lightning Epiphany keeps your Cesar's proceed near 100% without needing Blinding Flash which you save for Elites.
Thanks! I learned a lot!
I already have some monks, I will try something with Tempest Rush. I will start with SWK and later try LoN. I'm having a lot of fun with my LoN barbarians and I think it will be cool with monks too.
Thanks man!
