Build:
You want to stack up as many mobs as you can, apply the Wothf: Fists of Fury stacks and then use FoT: Static Charge for 6 seconds and apply this on all the mobs. Repeat this process. I included some video footage to make this easier to understand. You want to switch this around and be sure to refresh the stacks of these skills on the mobs. More detailed information on the exact rotation will come soon. Also, you want to use your dash to get 15% more attack speed and to proc Focus and Restraint. You want a lot of Cooldown Reduction to keep up your Breath of Heaven and your Epiphany. Your spirit will drain because of the Shenlog's buff, but it will be easy to generate spirit with Breath of Heaven and the Flying Dragon procs.
Are you that natsumi dude that were streaming early today?
Nevertheless, thanks for the guide =) Looking forward to it o/
Great Guide Nats
Thanks for the sweet guide Natty-Z.
When I first hear static charge, i remember way before seasons like during the 60s and partial early first-time level 70 patch... my roomie played "ALWAYS plays with Static Charge" and EP tanking.
I'm glad to see the rune back to use and even more innovative from Original Poster. Love the guide.
It's always good to keep sets/pieces (if you have the room) then you can switch all over the place, or make alternate so you "never have to swap gear"
Best of luck on all these builds
Thank you so much! I had so much trouble trying to figure it out from the Asians early today, google translate really didn't work! (The anal fam was a bit too far lol)
Anyway thanks for the first impression and lest sit and see what people will come out with, as I'm already trying as much as possible. I loved Shenlongs since PTR. Please keep the good work!
Do you think that this build could out do HoTA Barb for single target dmg?
How do I proc F/R ? Sorry if it is obvious, i'm not a smart man.
You proc F/R using Dashing Strike, due to the fact that when you use 4 pieces of Raiment you spend 75 Spirit to cast it. And obviously both generators keep the 50% all the time.
The idea is to apply Static Charge on the enemy, after using the 3rd hit, then you're going to hit with WotHF to abuse from the stack it gives. You see, Static Charge makes the enemy release thunders with 180% dmg every time it is hit (Have in mind that not every damage you see on screen is counted as a hit, I'm not sure how it actually counts but it's a lot), and stacking WotHF:FoF gives of 60% damage in over 3 seconds, which you can apply unlimited times, something similar to what Firebird was back in 2.1.
So you basically apply Static Chage, and keep applying every 6 seconds, and spam WotHF to deal damage. In the video Natsuma even mention that he uses Fist of Thunder to kill the boss due to having lots of Lightning damage, but in the Asian servers they mention that WotHF is actually better for single target like bosses, and you are already using the lightining damage thanks to Static Charge.
Hope it helps you and please if I made any mistakes, don't hesitate to correct me.
Cheers.
couple this with SS Tal's Wiz build from 2.2 with dual 4 APS hydras, and the new 4HPS hota builds people are talking about and the servers will explode but so will the rift.
I was trying this last night for fun, and it's very solid
For weapons, I would recommend LOH to be the first priority reroll, if you don't have a natural CDR roll on the Shenlongs
So I'd say its very relative. Try to get a perfect one in the future, its hard I know but it will come. I'd say I'd prefer to use a "trifecta" (Dex, LOH and CDR) not ancient then both ancient mines without one or another
K so did a 66 solo with it with very unoptimized gear, didn't have CC in helm, gloves were VIT/CC/CD, missing CHD on amulet, no AS on rings, and only 1 fist with LoH but still got the 66 down in 11mins.
Now I'm wondering, for group what stats are we looking for on the fists? DEX, AS, CDR?
i guess [Thundergod's Vigor] belt is better ?

Im still not sure what rotation is the best for singletarget dps, Im getting mixed messages from my own experiences... some elites (while trying to figure it ou) die uber fast, others die really slow! Like the RG seems to die faster than most elites, but im not sure whether to spam WotF or FoF (Alternating each 6 secs to keep all debuffs up)
Also, main prio for group/solo, wouldnt you say ViT on gloves/Weps? Ok LoH is pretty neat, ofc, but the more HP you have, the more healing you get from Simplicitys Strenght. Just swapped my 10%cdr fist to a 10%dmg fist with 940Vit. Survivabilit went trough the roof, both solo and co-op.
Still searching for the perfect ancient Dex/CDR/LOH Shenlong set
I think CDR is mandatory for keep up epiphany, it's such a huge toughness boost. I did have huge issue trying to survive my entire 66 run with Alacrity so I swapped it out for Guardians Path which pretty much doubles my toughness.
Hey Natsuma, thanks for the guide and making the build clear. 1 thing though, should u stack holy or lighning dmg with this build? I heard both way.
