My account is cursed and all I ever get to drop are stupid Band of Hallowed Secrets. I have yet to get my second unity. My first Untiy rolled awesome 465 dex, 6 crit, 13 elite damage, socket can't remember the passives. I am wondering will it be better to roll for CHD and replace the Dex, or roll for 15% ED?
Also are Depth Diggers worth it? Should I be going for Blackthorns 3 set instead?
Looking for what to spend my bloodshards on after I get my Unity as well, I am thinking My WD could use an upgrade, try and get a good roll so I can roll the passive for Freeze chance. If anyone has any other suggestions on upgrades let me know.
Right now I am speced for T6 annihilation but I would be using all the same gear for Greater rifts.
Cool story about my awesome FD. My brother who's account is not cursed had it drop for him while we were rifting. He is only paragon level 150 or something like that, since I play more then him he totally just handed it to me, it was his second FD his other is a 3.6k dps one. While rolling for LPSS I got a 7% IAS and mine hit 4094 Dps.
I have heard that Ice climbers aren't that necessary. I do not have a pair though rolled for them forever but have yet to come up with any. Would it be better to replace my depth diggers with blackthorns?
Ice Climbers are not worth it. If you get hit the frozen blast on high tiers without Desert Shroud on, you are dead anyways. If you have Shroud up, you are immune to being frozen.
Now regarding, depth diggers, its difficult to answer without knowing how much of your damage is coming from fist of fury. My guess is very little as the majority of your damage is from SWK and Smite gem procs.
I switched to BT pants and boots and I feel its a more useful setup.
I did make the switch to BT pants and I do miss seeing the 10 mil crits from FoF and only seeing 6 Mil crits. My surviability did go up and my Elitle crits went up, now SWK criting for 125mil or so. Now if I could get that dang Unity to drop...

I am so glad someone finally wrote this. I really don't get why people wear Ice Climbers. If you don't want Crudest Boots or BT boots then go for Cain's set or Illusory Boots - way more useful than Ice Climbers (which I see in so many guides as #1 for monks although they are, as you perfectly described, totally useless in my opinion).
I'm either going for DD+Crudest or BT set myself, and the latter is amazing in 39+ rifts. @OP: FoF crits going down from 10m to 6m shouldn't make that much of a difference when you hit elites for much more, so overall it's probably even a damage buff. I'm thinking of giving up my DD altogether, and like I've said, even consider Cain's set. Not sure if Quin is reading here - but he recommended Captain Crimson's for third choice which I think is really bad due to the RCR, or am I missing something?
Either way, I find myself experimenting a lot and don't feel I've found the holy grail. Would love to get your amulet though, Harper

Deep down somewhere in Quin's original guide someone said that RCR doesn't effect SWK Procs. For example if you have 10% RCR and you only spend 68 spirit when using SW it still counts as having spent 75 and spawns a clone. I will have to experiment when I get home but I am pretty sure it is the case.

Just tested it: RCR is in fact bad. Really bad. Took Sweeping Wind, every cast obviously procs SWK. Then I just put a few paragon points in RCR (usually keep them unallocated) and for the first cast I got no SWK proc.
Yeah, I'm staying far away from any RCR. The awesome thing with SW (if you're running it) is that you can reliably proc SWK with every other click. Your goal with SWK is to generate and spend spirit as fast and quick and often as possible. RCR works exactly against that, thus it's bad.
I think I'd prefer Cain's over Captain Crimon's for a DPS oriented build (after other options like Crudest Boots+Depth Diggers, or BT set of course).
Got my second Unity last night so going to start pushing Grifts, also had a pair of Depth Diggers drop with 499 dex 500 vit Resist All and 99% damage increase. So now I am switching between those and BT depending on Grift or normal.
Finally found my second Unity, one shot 32-36 without issue. Made about 8 attempts on 37 and have yet to get a great rift spawn.
Most times I get behind in the beginning till I find the right rift level with good spawns, I catch up and pull ahead then get to the RG with a minute or left. I found a power pylon right before the RG once and got him down 3-4 seconds too late. Normally he is at 1/2 to 1/4 HP when the timer runs out.
Any further progressed Monks have any idea what I could do better with my gear to maximize dps? I noticed all the highest leaderboard monks use FoT. Is WoTF better for rift bosses, cause trash and most elites drop easily, only ones I run into trouble with is arcane enchanted and pulse. I guess I stand still too much to maximize dps time on target.
Tried Bane of the Powerful, Taeguk and Pain Enhancer and I feel Taeguk gives me the most bang for my buck on RG's.
