Does Gyana's damage increase with LTK damage?.

Quote from Skyewalker»

What's your expirience running with this build? Greater Rift lvl, clearspeed, purpose in grouprifts? I assume you tested this alot yourself.

Cheers, looks very nice (a welcome change of pace compared to WoL-builds)

I have most of the gears here (except for the dual sword set - I used 2 random ancient fist weapons instead) and I gotta say it is quite fun to play with though it is not as powerful as WoL build. You will be able to finish TX easily but will find yourself quite squishy in higher GR (50+ has been a bit of a struggle for me with this) but then again I do not have the extra toughness from +30% armor from the sword set.
A word of warning though is to not be too trigger happy and spam LTK until you used up the Sweeping Wind stacks. You will die almost immediately since you would lose the 50% dmg reduction bonus.

Just curious as to how you plan to hit 75% cdr. I've done gr 60+ using physical rune on ltk because it hits so much harder. Spamming ltk is quite hard as well as you almost always lose sweeping wind. Physical fists of thunder and wothf fists of fury both help in keeping up stacks, the former has better gen and the latter gives unlimited stack after a dot application. The belt is pure shit, string of ears would help the squishiness of the build, although it is still ridiculously fragile.

My 2 cents

With out the belt you risk loosing your SW stacks which will make you 1 shotable after 65+ GR , for a more damage mitigation I swap out the rings and use unity + that elemental ring ( the one that increases a random elemental for 200% for a couple of seconds ) regarding physical rune on LTK I have to try it, to see if the damage is better, and the generators I will try them both also didn't think of that. What I did end up doing was using vengeful wind as my main weapon and crystal fist as a off hand ( since it reduces damage by 50% after using dashing strike for 6 seconds) than putting Flying dragon on my cube. Also trying to see how else to maximize my damage since after GR 66 damage doesn't seem ideal anymore, still haven't seen how far I can take it, I'll post later and let people know.

@Wukaos This is probably the ideal setup in 2.4.1. The new crystal fist alone adds more DR than the istvan's @ 5 stacks, and with a FD in the cube you will actually attack faster than istvans in exchange for losing 30% damage on your LTKs. Depending on how close you are to the APS cap before this change you may end up with more or less overall dps. Also I'd strongly reccomend losing Focus and Restraint and moving to CoE+Unity for solo play. I honestly forget about Unity because I so rarely push solo high enough for it to matter, as I'm usually gated by my DPS.

While actively spamming LTK its actually not worth having Kyoshiro's Soul, as long as your crit chance is over 50% and you arent single target, you should be able to keep stacks up easily. String of Ears brings some nice defense here. Keep in mind if you make this change you will need to ensure you dont lose SW stacks as you move between packs.

Also if you are going to swap to a different rune, if any, I'd run with Hand of Ytar. You lose out on damage per LTK, however you gain the ability to swap to Ice Blink over Gogok, allowing you to dps from range and more easily maintain SW stacks due to the increased crit chance. If you do this I'd strongly suggest keeping Kyoshiro's Soul on for convenience. The downside to this setup is obviously the lower dmg per LTK, as well as the loss of Gogok for CDR and attack speed, though the latter is largely countered by the ability to then run Leorics Crown in the cube in place of Cindercoat, for a net loss of only 2.5% CDR. Also Hand of Ytar's hitbox is a little small and won't be able to hit as many targets as the other runes, but allows kite playstyle.
