Pretty early on for questions I guess, and Im sure you will be updating this guide (or this might already have been taking into account) --> How might the new seasonal items impact this build? Any thoughts on the matter?

The new seasonal item for the monk is Lions claw, which gives your sss 7 additional hits. In other words, the item won't affect the build whatsoever, as it has no place in it.

Thanks for the information!
As you might have guessed; I hvnt read through all the new items yet. Might there not be some non-class-specific items that may interact with this build?
Anyways, appriciate the headsup

The only relevant non class specific thing is the new legendary gem "bane of the stricken". It is mentioned in the above guide as a maximum damage variant where you swap out gogok for it to get more damage for the group. The thing is, right now the stricken gem, which enhances the damage delt to enemies by a small percentage per hit (1,5% in case of a level 70 gem f. e.) stacks for everyone using it. So if the zdps monk wears it and hits an enemy, everyone in the group wearing a stricken gets the added damage (+plus their own stricken stacks of course)

So, the longer a fight, the more significant the added damage. But the stacking for the group might get fixed, then stricken would no longer be an alternative for a zdps char.

Great work as always Quin! Even though I have hardly played monk up until this point I always enjoy the stream as the volume of useful info is hands down second to none. This season I am all in with the monk mostly because your kick ass videos and guides make it look so fun to play!

The fist weapon Sledge fist works for the build?

Thanks for the great writeup, Quin!

I figure on using this build and my friend will be using a dps monk (probably U6) in seasons. Would this work well for seasons 2s in your opinion? I also noted you implied in your video that monks won't be top dps in seasons, if that's the case who do you think will be? And would you say monks are a close second at least? Thanks for any clarification you can give!

How do you auto attack on ps4 with this build? None of the spells lets you auto attack when on cooldown.

Deaths Bargain even with a perfect 1000% roll and 2mil LPS would only be a 20mil damage aura; 1000% is only x10, not x1000. It's better than nothing, but nothing special all the same.

Awesome build.

Some queries :

* I swapped around the Oculus & RoG, equipping the Oculus gives you a 16% elite dmg reduction, much better than the stats on RoG

* Vigilence proc seems very poor, swapped to Thunderfury as some other guides suggest this is a good dmg debuff, any other weapons you would suggest? as its so easy to have 2-3 runes up anyway.

* Gogok over Esoteric? CD's aren't really an issue when you are holding down Cyclone

I agree with the notion of Vigilance Proccs and Gogok/other gems. When running Laws of Seph in the Cube, there shouldn't be any need for the added CDR from Gogok, and Ill experiment some more with other gems as substitutes. Im guessing Quin will/have ofcourse done the same, and in the end it will be about minor tweaks and differences in playstyle.

Vigilance proccs do seem low, and in the end there will always be spamming of Runes! Been looking into TF/Burning Axe/Shield replacement
Great Queries!

great build.

It says to get gems on chest/legs, what type of gems do you want to socket in them? Diamonds for the resist all?

Hey dude how do i get the crafted set to lvl 70? i only get it on lvl 23 req

There are two Borns, and two Captain Crimson craftable sets. Mine show the lower level Crimsons Finery at 31, and the lower level Borns Defiance at 21. Some times it takes awhile for the higher level 70 sets to fall. (The Crimsons Trimmings and Borns Command sets)

why isn't gogok always apply stacks? even though it's level 50

I believe Gogok stacks are applied based on your proc coeefecient

I'm a little confused. The build doesn't have a single attack so why do you recommend using life on hit and zodiac ring? I can't even auto-attack!

Why would you use Gem of Ease? It only provides xp and that's pointless for this type of build
