This is going to be a multi-topic thread! In the poll vote for which runestone you feel enables the best blinding flash skill. what are your general speculative thoughts on blinding flash?
Also if you're up for it keep reading because I want your opinion which rune stone would fit best into my build.
The build in my signature was the latest point in the evolution of my speculative PvE monk build. Like the rest of you the goal is to have fun while having a solid build. I overlooked an important characteristic of my build, that being my 3 spirit spenders are a little pricey. I can imagine that 'breadth of heaven' will go very underused considering 'cyclone strike' will be a much better solo/team healer. In addition, cyclone strike also has AOE damage for only 25 extra spirit. I think wanting to use the guiding light passive is what sucked me into having 2 heal skills.
To fix the spirit spenders I have come to the realization that blinding flash might be the perfect replacement for breadth of heaven. I first overlooked the skill with a snotty sense of prejudice and now I feel like a noob for doing so. That 5 second blind period is very versatile, I can use it while generating spirit and whilst using spirit spenders. In combination with mantra of evasion I can take advantage of 5 second periodic intervals where I have a good chance of not being hit at all (try to imagine the evil look on my face).
I think that the crimson rune and it's additional holy damage is a beastly buff. However, I can see the golden and alabaster runes being very valuable in inferno.
Which runestone do you guys think would be best with my build, some offense in the crimson or do I need the extra defense from alabaster/golden?
I feel that searing light is as important as faith in the light. Searing adds 50% chance enemies will miss you which combined with high dodge, not many things will be able to hit you, but faith in the light adds 35% dmg to all attacks so that combined with conviction, will produce a high amount of dps.
