I made a thread about transitioning to lightning monk and y'all have been extremely helpful. Based on your suggestions, I changed my gear and build to the above.
Right now, T2 is no problem (takes a while to kill the rift boss though), T3 I can't do yet. What are the next upgrades I should make to take the next step into higher torments? Also, advice on how to kill rift bosses faster is also appreciated.
How did you get all the secondaries to match? I wanted to stack a particular resistance but it's hard enough to get the primary stats I want, much less have the secondary stats match!
remove your shoulders and craft ashera gloves + shoulders since there is no need for special legendery gloves or shoulders
and ashera is insanely easy to farm you can craft alot of them till you roll what you need
and as ballon said keep crafting items over and over till they roll nicely but i would recoomend first to get all your emelards to 220 and instead of 2x eme in pants put diamonds it will boost your toughness insanely which monk is lacking badly
if you trying to stack cooldown as i see reroll your helm spirit generation to socket and put diamond if you give us explanation about the build you are trying to do it will be easier to tell you what stats you need

gambale neckalces ASAP you dont need that damage thingy +500-600 dex will add more dmg than that and look for odyn son its actualy better than thunderfury since its adding lightning dmg and the proc it self not like thunderfury is more effective on single target since it hits more than thunderfury in single target
change your passive combination strike to unity even when you are solo and using an follower it gives you 10% dmg and your follower gains 5% dmg
and other than that just keep gambaling boots and gloves till you get your set parts
other than that awsome job on rolling so much lightning resistance pretty sick
Sorry I forgot to mention that I am transitioning from a fire tempest rush speed rush build, hence I still have some gear that's CDR based (to proc inner fire faster). That build is defn fun but not really helpful for T2 and above, hence this lightning build (until I get cindercoat and GNK, then I'll probably switch to a traditional fire build).
I fully plan on replacing my gloves and shoulders with ashera's. I also have boots and pants of raiments of a thousand storm but they have non synergistic secondary rolls, I'm waiting to see what blizz does to the set for 2.1.
So for now farm Ashera's gloves/shoulders, if bad rolls just salvage and roll again, and try to do the same for aughild's? (Farming for captain's was such a PAIN I dont want to go through that again).
The current build I am going for is to gather mobs with cycle strike, make them take AoE from my sweeping wind + MoR collateral damage, get off 3 hits with my spirit generator to proc mystic rhythm and then LTK. Works great for most things, except vs rift bosses they take foreeeeever to die...
