So I've shared my version of the ZDPS monk with other forums before and people kinda shrugged it off because of the following:
1) I refused to believe Captain Crimson set was BiS
2) I thought having Vigilance cubed was a complete waste
3) I refused to use The Star of Azkaranth
4) It wasn't Quin69's build
People using crimson set for spirit upkeep? Please, I have no issue with spirit without it. (Pay attention as I'm spamming mantra)
The whole point of this post is to show ZDPS monks that there are other gear choices besides Quin69's build, and that an immunity necklace is a complete waste and not needed. I was using overwhelming desire, but I believe a hellfire ammy, ess of johan or flavor of time would be BiS. Despite overwhelming being rather... underwhelming, it is much better than an immunity to a element that wouldn't be able to kill me anyways.
My logic as to why I refuse to use Captain Crimson's set:
1) Pants slot can now be used for innas, which will free up your helm or gloves spot.
2) Belt slot freed up for Vigilante belt, that's an extra 8%
3) You won't need obsidian ring or goguk of swiftness gem to reach 75% CDR. (Assuming you equiped leorics crown)
4) If you equip leorics crown, thats an extra 12.5% CDR. 12.5% + 8% from Vigilante = 20.5. Captain Crimson offers 10% CDR. 20.5% - 10% = 10.5% more CDR without going Captain Crimsons. You can cube leorics crown and get an extra 2% CDR, but now you've lost your cube slot for that, and will have to figure out how to keep your spirit up (I have Law of Seph cubed)
