Hey guys, today I'll be starting the solo greater rift progression series for the Monk. I'm kicking things off with a hybrid Tempest Rush build in G35 - a fairly reasonable tier to start out on. The build, gear, and legendary gems will change as necessary to clear each tier. Enjoy and be on the lookout for the next one!
Hey guys, today we move to G36 in the Monk solo greater rift progression series. Although I forgot to go over the build and gear in this video, there were a few changes made - namely swapping to Inner Storm and removing Chant of Resonance in favor of Determination, along with swapping to Taeguk, Bane of the Trapped, and Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard gems. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next one!
Hey guys, today we move to G37 in the Monk solo greater rift progression series. Got lucky again with a Conduit on Rift Guardian, but it simply reduced the fight from 3 minutes to 1.5, so I still would have cleared it with plenty of time left. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next one!
Hey guys, today we move to G38 in the Monk solo greater rift progression series. This is the last Tempest Rush progression video in Season 2 since I barely made the tier. If I choose to continue with TR, I'll have to switch builds and make use of Exploding Palm, otherwise I'll be going a different route and using Raiment set. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next one!
Hey guys, today I pick up the Monk progression series back up after taking a 6+ month break. Since I'm mainly playing Monk and Witch Doctor this season, there's no better time than to kick things off with some U6 action. I wanted to wait until I had all the necessary pieces to complete the setup, so these first few tiers should go by pretty quick. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G40 in just under 4 minutes. As I mentioned in the previous video, this being part of a tier-by-tier progression series means the first 10 or so should go by quick, and I estimate it will start slowing down a bit into the 50s, requiring an Ancient weapon as we near 60, and pretty solid gear beyond that. Having a lot of fun on the Monk this season! Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, another day, another sub-4 minute clear, this time G41. Gear and build remain unchanged. I suspect time will start increasing around 50 with mid-upper 50's being a 'soft cap' with non-Ancient weapons in terms of first attempts, i.e. some fishing will be necessary. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G42. Gear and build remain unchanged. Still in speed farm territory and although this one took a bit longer, I think it was due to density. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G43. Gear and build remain unchanged. I'm sticking to the tier-by-tier format due to this being a progression series, but this was a slightly faster rift due to better density and pylon availability. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G44. I actually forgot to completely switch out of my speed farm setup so I take a bit more damage, but still clear it in about 5 minutes. I did get a single upgrade piece over the last tier. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G45, the 'little 10'. I did it 30 seconds faster than the last tier, meaning we're still not limited by damage. No changes to the build or gear aside from switching out of my movement speed setup and into the GR setup. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G46, moving on past T10. About a minute slower than the last tier (roughly 6 minutes), but I think it's due to RNG (poor first level). Gear and skills remain unchanged. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G47. Gear and skills remain unchanged and due to favorable RNG I (once again) clear it faster than the previous tier. I'm hoping up to 50 or so we'll stay under 10 minutes. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G48. Gear and skills remain unchanged. The rift took about a minute longer despite being solid in mob type and density - though no conduit or power pylons. I should be able to get into low-50's without any major changes, but we'll see. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G49, about 30 seconds slower than 48. Gear and skills remain unchanged. Should be able to hit 50 no problem, given that we're still under 10 minutes and barely budging. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear the 'little 5-0', about 2 minutes slower over the last tier. I did make a couple changes: Harmony passive over spirit generation for additional toughness, and I sucked it up and used a gift on my Fist of Az to get more cooldown reduction, bumping me from just under 54% up to 58%. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G51, about a minute faster over the last tier due to better RNG (Conduit). Only change is a slightly better rolled Vigilante belt. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G52. Since the last tier I got a few paragon levels and dropped Bane of the Powerful for Stricken, since I'm skipping most elites now and the rift guardian is starting to take a while. Clear time is noticeably slower, but we should still be fine for a few more tiers without an ancient weapon. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G53. No changes over the last tier, but it was about 1.5 minutes faster due to an absolute dream rift. Makes me wish I equipped the SSS belt so I could take on those elites and make it even faster. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I clear G54. No changes over the last tier and a significantly slower clear time due to bad RNG. I'm starting to take quite a bit of damage, so I'll be switching to the SSS belt soon. To compensate for the lower CDR, I'll have to roll off a damage stat elsewhere, but it should be worth it as it'll allow me to face elites more frequently. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for the next tier!
Hey guys, today I'll be starting the solo greater rift progression series for the Monk. I'm kicking things off with a hybrid Tempest Rush build in G35 - a fairly reasonable tier to start out on. The build, gear, and legendary gems will change as necessary to clear each tier. Enjoy and be on the lookout for the next one!
