I'm glad I could inspire you to check out some more variations!
Circular breathing + inner storm is amazing. I've almost always got a full spirit well that I can use to spam cyclone strike and keep up the stacks on my sweeping wind. Then I can usually tempest rush to the next enemy and teleport straight in and repeat. (Love the thunderclap rune)
The only time I seem to get into serious trouble is around frozen+molten champions. Bosses are no problem, but these specific champions can deplete my health fairly quickly. This is when I use SSS most. Then I tempest rush out and hit from a safe side. Unless they freeze me of course.
As for gear I think I'm pretty well set. I dual wield and have since I first started. I've sacrificed a little bit of damage in exchange for a weapon with +0.17 APS and 47.5% chance to stun. That's pretty much a guaranteed stun!
EDIT: I thought I might mention that the trouble with the champions up there was when i was playing Nightmare Master I - which was no problem other than it taking longer.
I thought that Breath of Heaven would be a good idea. I'm reluctant to swap out SSS because of the invulnerability paired with the high damage it puts out when there is only a single enemy, but I'll give Wave of Light a try! Thanks a lot!
Hey guys, I'm a fairly new Diablo player and was looking for some help on whether my lvl 54 monk was a viable build for hell and what changes might I need to make. I made it through nightmare just fine but I figured I'd ask just in case. Anyways here we go:
