Build Guide

Quin69 here!

>>>Patch 2.3 Guide<<<

26/08/2015

Hey boyz! Season One & Two - Rank 1 monk (world) here!

In my opinion/experience this build is currently one of the strongest possible monk setups for solo competitive greater rift laddering.

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:

Hold down spirit generator
Use Cyclone strike to maintain focus+restraint buff
Use breath of heaven on cooldown (when in combat)
Use inner sanctuary on cooldown (when in combat)
Use Epiphany on cooldown
Use mantra active when you are taking alot damage
Use the Epiphany teleport for mobility

Skill variations:

Cyclone Strike - Implosion (Use with Strongarm Bracers)
Dashing Strike - Blinding Speed (Replace inner sanctuary)

Legendary Gem variations:

Bane of the stricken - Swap out Gogok of Swiftness for max DPS setup OR Simplicity's Strength if you want to keep survivability and gain single target.
Pain enhancer - Swap out Simplicity's Strength for a slightly higher damage setup if you can average 11+ Targets (god rifts).

Hellfire Passive:

Exalted Soul
Near Death experience(hardcore)

When playing in a group:

Swap Unity for Convention of elements

Stat Priority:

Helm: Socket>Crit
Shoulders: CDR>20% AE Dmg
Torso: x3 Sockets>20% Fire
Legs: x2 Sockets
Gloves: CDR>ChC>20% AE Dmg>CHD
Rings: Socket>CDR>Crit>20% AE Dmg>CHD
Waist: 15% Life
Wrist: 20% Fire damage>ChC
Amulet: Socket>ChD>ChC>20% Fire=Dex
Weapon: CDR > LPH > AE DMG > Vit

you want dex/secondary resist on all your pieces(where possible)

People WITHOUT shenlong's fists:

Do not attempt the build without the shenlong's set!
