Resolve is good since it procs off Sweeping Wind, but Guardian's Path is also very good. I find myself switching between those 2 as well as Fleet Footed for breaking the move speed cap.
And I do 80k unbuffed dps, and havent spent any money on the RMAH nor am I rich as shit. :[
I crit for 200k, tornados crit for 40k. Damage wise cyclone is still king. And thunder clap still has the highest proc coefficient + double crits per hit. I also found both of my weapons. Though they are worth over 100m combined for sure. But in the end if you don't have that gear you will need to use other stuff, and Keen Eye is certainly good.
U meant dodge ruksak? Makes more sense. Dodge is great. But again dps will make all of that pretty trivial. Depends on where you are at, and your budget of course.
I've tried spirit regen builds and its a lot of fun, just not enough damage for me compared to classic cyclone + SSS. SSS: Fulminating Onslaught is insane now with high crit chance and crit damage. I definitely no longer die using Thunder Clap, though it was an issue for me back when my dps was lower. When I first was starting out I used Keen Eye as well, so it may be a good choice for him if he can't get his dps up for now. There is nothing wrong with Keen Eye, it's actually a lot of fun. I still love it.
After 20 k elite kills and expirimenting with TR builds since day 1, I need to say that it's not inherently "good" like the barb's WW build, in fact, compared to other build options and the cookie cutter cyclone build, TR builds are plain bad. The barb's WW is good on a budget and has certain properties about it that make it work in a special synergistic way, almost to the point of it being an exploit. There is nothing intrinsically good or synergistic about TR builds.
Apart from this fact, it also has major faults.
primarily, wobble mess up crowds, you can be hit out of it, less damage ticks than WW, and no off screen kills like WW unless you are using the bleed on Skorn.
Tempest Rush can be viable, but viable for what exactly? for beating the game? Of course it is, for speed farming elites? Kind of.
TR can be good, but your dps has to be extremely high to clear elites using it, and even then you will have better options. TR alone can not compete with the dps of skills such as SSS or any spirit generator, even with 7% extra crit chance on TR from rings like SOJ. Nobody said "TR monks have low dps", they said TR itself is not an efficient way to dps.
I have watched your videos, and they are extremely unimpressive. Not only do you not use TR to kill elites, you only use it to move or dodge, with very low dps as well. To call this good or like WW is far from the truth if not laughable. If you think that I have spent a lot of gold on my gear or money I havent, and there are literally thousands of monks in the USA alone with dps over 100k. The important question for you and this thread is who are we competing with? and to what standards?
Don't call TR the monk's WW, don't try to say that it's better than WW.
Do not think for a second, that you have discovered a build comparable to WW, for its value in game, or for it's synergistic qualities. If you like the skill, thats great, but it's no more than a skill, and definitely is not a build in itself.
I really don't mean to be rude here, and I want to give you serious props for being dedicated to TR, it's a hard road and it's brave of you to stray from the cookie cutter builds, and I do not mean to derail your thread. If anything I would suggest a change of the thread title since it may be a bit missleading. But otherwise please do keep sharing your findings for those who are interested, and do try skorn for off screen kills. : )
