Thank you for the new build for the people not as geared. I have gotten some really good runs on mp10 now and also some God awful ones. I wish I found this many elites on my old mp0 runs of crater. It seems like on the runs that go really bad I get 3 elites right next to the big packs of scorpions. I am finding like 7 elite packs per fast run at times. But thanks for your help I appreciate it. I had 1 run that had 170 mil exp per hour... while my crappy run was like 18 mil LOL.
correct me if I'm wrong here, but the way i understand this, crit chance and crit damage don't do much for this build except help with some sustain from LS while TR through mobs to next pack, since you arent counting on it to proc with the WoL and EP isnt effective for it at all.
from this Id deduce that you can build a fairly cheaper set max ehp,dex,wep dmg and ignore char sheet dps
basically you max reliable damage of the WoL.
I'm gonna check it myself later today, except for the LS skorn it shouldn't be too expensive, ill report back later.
at any rate do tell me if I'm missing something here

As Ayeri mentioned CC is important, BUT, i was thinking that this build could be very viable with a LS/Socket/DEX Doom Hammer with decently high average dmg but no Crit Dmg.
This works almost as well as with my LS Skorn and I still kill skorpions in one or two WoL. I did notice I don't get quite the regen while TR'ing between packs of scorpions so it may be a good idea to take StI and have decent resist/HP.
So, in short a non Crit Dmg, LS/socket/Dex weapon may be a viable budget alternative to a LS skorn.
I'd guess it's longer than 2-3 weeks because they still have to run the PTR. How like Blizzard to find something people are doing effectively and nerf the crap out of it because it's not what they want us to do. This stuff really pisses me off.
Bit the bullet got some diff gear to get the build to work. It works amazingly well now. I use circular breathing instead of retriubtion mantra. I like actually gaining spirit while tempest rushing. I found that inna's 4 piece also helps a lot as I use press sw every 5 seconds so im always at 3 stacks and dont have to worry about it. A wave of light SOJ also helps.
Hey there, wanted to try this one out before it gets nerfed, bought some eq with the money I had left and ended up with well not enough.
See for yourself: http://eu.battle.net...58/hero/5087807
I got 2.5 mil left :<, is there anyway I can make this work, maybe I'm just not doing it right? or should I stick to low mp farming?
edit: first time playing my monk, trying on mp6 atm, and I'm getting the hang of it but I die -> and thats bad
Are you trying mp10 with 27k hp? that is the problem. you need more health because you will get one shotted.
I think Raoha posted a vid of... 270mil xp an hour I believe? It was a map in the Khule area.
Yea that was the shadow something area in the archives of zoltun kulle. But that's also because the little shadows have the same problem as the scorps - huge exp for little hp, so I'm sure they will get nerfed.

Are you kidding? It's a great change. They're nerfing the scorpions because it feels almost mandatory, same reason they are buffing acts 1,2 and 4, because act 3 felt mandatory.
It works great. I'm levling my 2nd monk to PL100 and I thought I'd give this a try. On runs where there are tons of spiders, I get 150mill xp/h. But those runs are not common. Most of the time there are very few spiders. I think I average on 80+mill xp/h on MP10.
When patch 1.0.8 hits there will be new places to go anyways. The best mob density will be in Realm of Shadows, so that's where I will test. Although Moldran got bad results from there. Can't really compare barb and monks xp/hour I guess.
0-19 in a couple of hours playing now and its working great. But i tried both MoC & MoR and couldnt get it to work good enough with em. MoH really makes me invulnerable and the runs is plenty of fast.
732 elite kills to para 19 feels abit underwhelming tho =)
I'm not sure about prices on EU, but here on America AH you would be able to get some pretty cheap/easy stat points by getting a high dex/vit chest and a AR belt instead of getting AR on the chest.

What did I miss here? Where do they say it is going to be nerfed?
EDIT: NVM I found the source.
