Build Guide

I have been trying to complete the Boss Mode conquest recently, tried several builds, each with several runs with no success—builds were to slow due to not good enough DPS, even though I have pretty decent gear, 800 paragon, 2/3 items in stash are ancient.

So I took icy-veins's Sunwuko WoL build (basic top Monk build), tweaked it for the speed and got bosses in 18 minutes even with picking death breath and legendaries from bosses (but not touching chests).
