Hi guys - Gabe here. Rank 44 Monk NA s3

I'm just here to share with you my seasonal/non-seasonal t7-9 speed farming build utilizing the r6 bonuses. It's perfect for non-seasonal play as well as seasonal and relatively easy to gear.

Just like the last season, you'll be fastest on open maps, however, even in low density tunnel tile sets you will manage to create and dispatch density with ease.

Stat Priorities:

Helm: CHC > DEX > VIT (Secondary : Physical Res & Gold/Globe Radius)
Shoulders: DS%DMG > RCR > CDR > DEX (Secondary : Gold/Globe Radius & GoldFind)
Chest: DS% Dmg > DEX > VIT (Secondary Stat: Physical Res & Gold/Globe Radius)
Hands: CHD > CHC > RCR > DEX (Secondary : Physical Res & Gold/Globe Radius)
Legs: DEX > VIT > ARMOR+ (Secondary : Physical Res & Gold/Globe Radius)
Feet: MS+ > DEX > VIT (Secondary : Physical Res & Gold/Globe Radius)
Wrists: Fire%Dmg > CHC > Dex > Vit (Secondary : Gold/Globe Radius)
Waist: Dex > Vit > Life% > Armor+ (Secondary : Gold Find)
Neck: SOCKET > CHD > CHC > DEX (Secondary : Physical Res & Gold/Globe Radius)
Rings: CHD > CHC > CDR > DEX (Secondary : Physical Res & Gold/Globe Radius)
Weapons: SOCKET > Base DMG/%DMG > DEX (Secondary : Life Per Kill & Gold/Globe Radius)

Gameplay:

The basics are really simple. Find and elite / champ pack, dispatch it then cyclone in all trash around it then dash until you find another pack. Repeat this process until you spawn the rift guardian. Ideally you'll have your in-geom up the whole rift. With the Boon of the Hoarder and Goldwrap you have no need to worry about death except at the very start of the rift. Get a chest or kill some easy whites to get you started.

CUBE:

The Furnace - Great for slamming into those elite/champ packs and clearing them efficiently

Nemesis Bracers - More champ packs equals faster clears and more potential drops, including death's breaths.

Obsidian Ring - Cooldown reduction for more efficient dashes, spirit regen among other bonuses.

GEMS:

Bane of the Trapped - More damage.

Gogok of Swiftness - More attack speed and more CDR. Win win.

Boon of the Hoarder - More movement speed, gold (meh), and toughness with the Goldwrap combination.

Rotation:

Ideally you'll dash into the champ pack and 1 hit if, however, if you don't, cyclone it in and get your strongarm proc then hit it once more and it should die. Then repeat the process.

Dashing Strike into a pack allowing your Envious Blade to proc and deal your stacked Critical Hit Damage.
Cyclone Strike the remaining local density procing your strongarms,
Dashing Strike 'x' amount more times in quick succession until you have dispatched the elite/champ pack and the local whites and then,
Continuously Dashing Strike around the map until you find another Elite/Champ pack,
Repeat the above process.

You can also use your active before you dash into your next champ pack should you not have enough damage to clean one hit.

Variations:

Furnace => Flying Dragon
Boon of the Horder & Goldwrap & Determination => Bane of the Powerful & The Witching Hour & Harmony
