Build Guide

Quin69 here!

>>>Patch 2.3 Guide<<<

27/08/2015

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 group 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:

Spam Cyclone strike to position mobs & proc obsidian ring of the zodiac
Use blinding flash on cooldown (when in combat)
Use inner sanctuary on cooldown (when in combat)
Use Epiphany on cooldown
Spam mantra active when your group is taking alot damage
Use the Epiphany teleport for mobility

Skill variations:

Dashing Strike - Blinding Speed (Replace blinding flash, and change Laws of Seph to Leroics crown)

Legendary Gem variations:

Bane of the stricken - Swap out Gogok of Swiftness for max DPS setup.
Esoteric Alteration - Swap out Gem of efficacious toxin for more personal toughness.

Hellfire Passive:

Unity
Near Death experience

Stat Priority:

Helm: Socket>LPS
Shoulders: CDR>LPS
Torso: x3 Sockets>LPS
Legs: x2 Sockets>LPS
Gloves: CDR>LPS>RCR
Rings: Socket>CDR>LPS
Waist: 15% Life>LPS
Wrist: LPS>LOH
Amulet: Socket>CDR>LPS
Weapon: CDR>RCR>LPH

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