Invis' Need for Speed RoS Monk Build
Long time Monk strategist invis has a preview of a build he has been working on in the Reaper of Souls Beta. Currently the build looks pretty overpowered, but we'll let you decide. The highlight of the build are the gloves that let you keep shrine effects for a full hour.
Small update: The name of the build looks to might have been taken from the streamer zisss, though he uses it for his Wizard build. Invis is sorry for borrowing the name.
More Teasing: "Awesome" Weeks Ahead
After Grimiku's mention of the PTR coming"Soon" a lot of people requested a more detailed explanation. Today Vaeflare decided to put the fire out, but instead fed everyone's curiousity even more.

We're glad you're so excited to test out what's coming in Patch 2.0.1.
I don't have a date to offer you for either the Closed Beta for Reaper of Souls (if you haven't opted-in yet, you can do so here), or the upcoming PTR for Patch 2.0.1, so you';ll have to wait a little longer yet. But hang in there, because the weeks and months ahead are going to be awesome.

Curse Weekly Roundup
On this week's Curse Roundup: Lindsay Lohan sues Rockstar Games, Steam reaches new record numbers of users, Ghostcrawler leaves Blizzard, and more.
I've watched a different video of a monk with that helm (which IS needed I believe) and then just -CD% on legendaries. He was able to get to 0CD on BoH without the shrine effect. I believe the legendary should just increase the radius, and maybe a 10-15% CD reduction, MAYBE. I mean, a free to cast no CD huge nuke of a spell that also heals is OP.
Crushing blow is also disabled for the time being.
Oh was there another beta patch?
Hot fix.

By the way they builds acts like now. Its just the new ww/archon spec of RoS. Which blizzard said they would go away from. Get build diversity.
If this would hit live, everybody and their mother would use this build so it will be dead in the water most likely next beta patch. It wont ever go live.
Gloves and weapon will also get a major nerf. Possibly something like max 2 shrines and 50% longer shrines. Or 1 hour with reduced shrines
Shrines don't make this powerful, the synergy of monk skills for damage with movement, with the legendary that gives more damage during movement, coupled with skill reduction, and the legendary helm make this work. Not shrines. That's just a cheesey bonus.
Implies some big announcements/reveals sometime between now and 2.0.
Althogh nerfed, im gonna try a build with breath of heaven as core skill with that helmet and enough CD reduction.
If it is overpowered. It will get nerfed. This is a really early beta. 90% of the numbers you see in the game now will be reduced and fixed by the time it goes closed beta. And continued to be tuned til the release of the game. Not one build that is OP now will be on release.
Well, ya. Because they haven't announced it yet.
