  Ring of Royal Grandeur

Basics

You're going to be using the Inna six piece bonus in order to boost the Uliana 4 piece bonus damage. So basically you just need three pieces of Uliana somewhere (the shoulder is required since Inna does not have a shoulder), and 5 pieces of Inna's. Then RORG will fill in the other two for both.

This is one of the only builds where you will be using Holy as your main damage dealer on monk, so you want to stack that on your gear. Pretty self explanatory.

This is a burst build so you're only going to be attacking once every holy cycle and then spending the rest of the time gathering. You need just enough CDR to hit during every single Holy cycle.

CDR explanation

Technically this means that you don't really need any cdr on your gear. We have 5 elements, and 5*4=20 seconds.

1-(20/30)=33.333%.

With just Beacon and diamond in helm, you'll hit that.

But SSS also takes about 2.33 seconds to execute. So 20-2.33=17.67, and 1-(17.67/30)=0.411. 42% would be ideal. Try to get at least one 8% CDR roll somewhere, and you'll be gold. Gloves or shoulders are ideal, but this can be hard to do... at least while keeping AD/CHC/CHD on the gloves as well. The shoulders pretty much need SSS damage % and AD on them. So you might have to sacrifice AD on either the gloves or one of the rings for CDR until you get a perfect pair of gloves.

Note about AD (Area Damage)

I'm making a section for this since even though I pointed it out in the roll priorities above, it might kind of get pushed under the rug: you want as much AD as humanly possible if you want to push high with this build. Basically, if you've ever played any DH Fan of Knives build, you'll know that you need a lot of AD to make sure each of your bursts counts for as much as possible. This is exactly the same. The more AD you have, and the larger the mob size, the more damage you will do. Exponentially more. STACK THAT AREA DAMAGE WHEREVER YOU CAN.

Bracers

Bracers are a mixed bag. You can take Spirit Guards for more survivability. Binding of the Lesser Gods for more damage and some chance to proc Oculus for yourself. Strongarm bracers give you more damage, but... aren't really a strong choice. There's no real right option here. Play around with what you like. Spirit Guards are suggested because they're the defensive option. Note that if you do run Bindings of the Lesser Gods you will have to make run Ally activation in one of those blank slots up there. The reason I left them blank is that what you choose will depend on what you use.

Gems

The only gem you can swap around is Esoteric. If you're feeling ballsy, you can run Bane of Powerful. You will hit much harder, but you will be much easier to kill. Give it a shot when you are more experienced with the build. You'll notice that even DIABLO3 doesn't run Bane of Powerful. If you CAN run it and stay alive, you will hit 2-3 GR's higher than you would with Esoteric.

This is just one possible overall setup, loosely based on DIABLO3's 94 clear setup.

Paragon Priorities

Paragon priorities are fairly self explanatory. You NEED the CDR from the offense branch so go there first. CHD/CHC again self explanatory. AD is the only useful thing in utility branch. Primary stat is your priority for the core. Remember that gear move speed and paragon move speed combined cap out at 25% so just monitor how much MS your gear gives you immediately and then pad it out with paragon if you feel that you move too slow. Your primary mobility will come from dashing strike, but gear/para move speed does help. Don't bother with maximum resource as it's totally pointless.

Instead of talking further about paragon priorities, I'll use this space to talk about the skills chosen, and lack thereof.

You will notice that I left one skill and one passive at the top blank.

The thing is, this build has a lot of possible variations depending on what you want to strive for. The ones at the top are highly suggested, but even some of them are not necessary.

Current skill explanations

- SSS Fulminating strike is... well... your bread and butter

- Assimilation stacks both stricken and gives you a huge damage boost in density.

- Dashing strike is practically necessary to get out alive.

- Implosion for grouping <-- This is technically replaceable. If you want to bank on having highly aggressive mobs that group themselves, insert something else here.

- Serenity to give you just the right amount of time to stack Assimilation before unloading during holy <--- If you don't like using this one because of your playstyle, feel free to replace it

For the remaining slot (and some of the replaceable skills), there are some possibilities

- If running Bindings instead of Spirit Guards, you need Mystic Ally slotted. Its main use in this build will be proccing oculus for your SSS on holy

- Blinding flash is good both defensively and offensively. You'll notice below that DIABLO3 used it during his 90 clear.

- Agility on Mantra of Salvation is always a solid defensive passive

- Epiphany with Desert Shroud for an extra OSH-- button. You'll notice DIABLO3 runs this in his 95 clear, it's quite helpful for not dying. He only died once during that clear.

- Exploding Palm, cold rune provides some extra damage during your onslaught. Not much, but it's a half decent offensive option. If you use Mystic Ally with a full glass setup, consider slotting it so that you can blow up during cold and maybe have the oculus ring carry over into holy.

Passives

Only two passives are actually required: Mythic Rhythm and Beacon of Ytar. Technically Near Death Experience isn't necessary. Your other two passives can both be:

Defensive

Harmony (if you have a lot of secondary resistances)

Sixth Sense (otherwise)

Near Death Experience (always useful for new players)

Resolve (best in slot against the RG, but otherwise kind of questionable)

or

Offensive

Combination Strike, Determination, Unity, etc. Monk has many offensive passives just see which one fits your playstyle.

DIABLO3 chooses to run Unity and Harmony (Harmony in place of Near Death Experience, though; this is ballsy).
