Hey boyz! Season One & Two - Rank 1 monk (world) here!
In my opinion/experience this build is currently one of the fastest possible monk setups for T6 speed farming!
Please note: I always keep my diablo fans guides up to date and will be making adjustments to the guide whenever there is a shift in endgame meta! so be sure to check back, and vote on the guide!
Basic game-play strategy:
- Try and always kill an elite every 15 seconds
- Use Primary skill every 6 seconds to maintain the 12,500% dash damage
- Pop blinding flash on cooldown
- Pop Epiphany on cooldown
- Dash like a madman!
Skill variations:
- Breath of heaven - Zephyr (more movement speed, in-place of fire ally)
Passive variations(+hellfire bonus):
- Fleet footed (hellfire amulet dream)
Stat Priority:
- Helm: Socket>Crit
- Shoulders: 15% Dash Damage>CDR
- Torso: x3 Sockets>15% Dash Damage>11% Elite damage reduction (secondary: 7% Melee dmg reduction)
- Legs: x2 Sockets
- Gloves: ChC>CDR>ChD>IAS
- Rings: Socket>ChD>CDR>ChC
- Waist: 15% Life
- Wrist: 20% Holy Damage>ChC (secondary: 7% Melee dmg reduction)
- Amulet: Socket>ChD>20% Holy Damage>Dex>ChC
- Weapon: 10% Damage > 10% CDR
you want dex/secondary resist on all your pieces(where possible)
People WITHOUT in-geom:
Build does not work without In-geom. As for offhand, Any high damage offhand will do!
FAQ:
Q: Why not unity + soj?
A: Focus and restraint both multiply with each other (1.5*1.5=2.25 - Op op!)
Q: What gem should i put in my helmet socket?
A: Diamond. CDR = Dmg + Survivability!
Q: What normal gems should i put in my chest/pants?
A: Emeralds, moarrrrr dps!
Q: What follower should i use?
A: Templar. Why? Inspire (x1.1 ALL spirit generation).

omg i hope i get to play this build before blizzard nerfs the hell out of it.
Tried in-geom and nemesis with trash gear in T1. Too risky for HC. Starter monk build works slower but way safier.
@Esereda It's really not going to work without all 6 raiment pieces and the two weapons. Nemesis is also a near must-have to keep the buff up.
Quin have you tried jawbreaker as offhand?
Edit: I am actually running this build with only a jawbreaker while farming for in geom, and it's pretty smooth without it to be fair
You need to kill the yellow and also its helpers. Took me some time to figure it out lol.
The effect says when u kill a group of elite...
@quin69 (Boyz) - Nice Build, quick question. NON seasonal game any other rings I can use beside restraint and Focus? Thanks Mate!
Yeah nothing to do if season or non season game, but any other rings that I can use?
Eagerly awaiting the nerf.
I just can't get in-geom to drop. Im now at that point where my all my shards are going towards 1 handed weapons, But nada. nothing.
So, if I get a good hellfire with one of the passives on it what would I change a passive to?
I can only confirm this build is ridiculously broken
tearing through T6 4player rifts with nobody able to keep up. and that's with pretty much 'entry level' gear, hardly any ancients with pretty crap roll.
What works for me is cyclone strike instead of mantra or Blinding Flash. in case of minions running away, pull them back and they die.
I am oneshotting all mobs. But i find it really hard to find enough elites to kill. I lose the in-geom proc too often.
Seem to always be a lack of elites or shrine/pylons for me to keep it going smooth and fluid
The in geom is imposible to farm, I have a jawbreaker and will give it a try, any special place where to farm in geom?
Is it still worth using Nemesis Blade even though BoTT isn't proc'd on first hit + it's low ave dam?
It's only for max health , sometimes they take dmg from around (follower , people if u are in a group) so u need CHC too
just used Gold wraps on this build

its just like wtf
Great job, Quin. Enjoying the spec and working to learn to farm with it.
You shouldn't spend your shards on One Handed Weapon, it's not worth it. Just keep farming and it will drops randomly along the way. It took me 1 month to get the full set. Good luck!
Did you you forget to mention that you have 1053 Paragon points? With that many points you should be somewhat in GOD MODE....
In the guide you say that you can punch the air (do you hit Shift?) and the 6-piece raiment set bonus, which makes Dash much stronger, is activated. But that does not activate Focus; you have to hit a monster with your resource-generating attack to get the damage bonus from the rings. (Both set bonuses are activated by dealing damage to an enemy.)
