Fan Made Necromancer
As a reminder, if you missed our post yesterday, we featured a Fan Made Necromancer class by Nightcrest87, with complete active and passive skillsets and even some potential Set items. A very high quality and well thought out work - check it out!

Quin's Ranking Clears
Quin is going bonkers this season. He started by getting rank #1 with his main Monk, then recently proceeded to rank #1 with his Crusader and Wizard. Should Alkaizer's Barbarian be concerned? If you're interested in seeing the highest solo level of those classes, watch the videos below. And to Quin: congratulations, sir!
Crusader Solo Rank #1
Wizard Solo Rank #1
Double Generator Monk Builds
evilrayman made a thread over at Reddit on how Dual Generator Monk builds have been picking up popularity over at the Chinese servers. It has some similarities, but also significant differences compared to the standard generator Monk Build.
Could that mean the end-game meta for the class is heading in a different direction? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Original idea provided by another person. (credit: cainaonao)
The person (Sayalol) who promoted this build on Chinese D3 forum has beaten GR 71 using this build. He was still experimenting it and the limit it could reach is definitely higher than that.

Wow, anyone else remember the old FoT:SC builds on PTR back when it procced from DoTs like submission, Sweeping Wind, and EP? (It bumped me from Torment 1 to 3, which was a huge back then!) But then they "fixed it" back then to only proc from direct hits; but it looks like FoF's DoT is able to work with it.
Here was my super-necro-pre-2.0 testing for static charge back in 3/2014 assuming FoT:SC only.... Gotta love the TF analysis! http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/11882328396?page=2#24
In anycase, it seems like SC is proccing off FoT DoT @ 5 times/sec which is scaling pretty well with R2 builds. Something to keep an eye on even though the hit box is somewhat annoying to use. So a combat rotation of WothF>WotHF>FoT 3-hit combo might be the annoying part of this build? (total speculation) (Davlok)
The trick to this build is that you apply static charge to mobs and then use fists of fury to proc it, since it procs static charge so much. You still get the damage amp on the static charge. Fists of fury is also really strong versus single targets with this build. (ImArchBoo)
Would be funny to see Alk vs. Quin for Barb. Alk has been #1 barb since seasons started AFAIK. Sader, well no one plays sader this patch. Wiz EU is like 72 I think.
rofl @ Quin's antics after rift, definitely NSFW
@loczek1 I think he was first at the time of the clear, which is sort of an achievement in itself (being able to get there at least once). But yeah, holding a ranking throughout the season is not going to be easy I'm not sure what are his current goals, but I think if he wanted to hold those spots he might have been able to.
He is no longer Rank 1 monk so there's that
According to the original idea is to apply Fist of Thunder (Static Charge) and use Ways of Hundred Fists (Fist of Fury) to stack up weapon damage and DOT. Tested and it does seem to have more AOE and burst however not easy to play. I replaced Cyclone Strike for the other generate skill and have tough time to get used to dash (hit and run) play style in HC. http://www.diablofans.com/builds/60710-static-generator
in Sayalol post mentioned best to have 1.9 buffed attack speed and how Guardian's path is important for higher greater rift.
Rofl that 1% Bane of the Stricken upgrade ahahaha
