Build Guide
Hey boyz!
In my opinion/experience this build is currently the strongest possible monk setup for speed farming T7-T10 Content on a monk!
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 meta! so be sure to check back, and vote on the guide!
Basic game-play strategy:
- Kill every elite pack you see (to proc in-geom)
- Use blinding flash on cooldown (when in combat)
- Use Breath of Heaven on cooldown (for movement speed)
- Use Air Ally when your spirit is below 200
- Use dashing strike for all movement when in-geom buff is up!
- Wave of Light EVERYTHINGGG
Skill variations:
- Dashing Strike - Radiance (for reduced animation time on dash/WoL)
- Sweeping Wind - Inner Storm (replace BoH - This only becomes helpful when you cannot "One Punch" everything)
- Mantra of Salvation - Agility (replace MoC - This is only useful if you are playing HC, or do not have boon of the hoarder setup)
Legendary Gem variations:
- Bane of the Powerful - Swap out Boon of the hoarder for max DPS setup (only recommended for super tryhards)
Kanai's cube variations:
- Envious Blade - Swap out Incense torch of the grand temple for true "One Shot Monk" gameplay (only recommended for advanced players)
- Nemesis bracers - Swap out Warzechian Armguards for easier gameplay (only if you can't be bothered swapping Nems to click shrines/pylons)
- Gloves of worship - Swap out Warzechian Armguards if you're in a 4 man speed group, this will probably be better than Warzechian's
Hellfire Passive/Alternative setups:
- Sieze the initiative (reduced animation time of Dashing strike/WoL
- Harmony (if you are having trouble surviving & HC players)
- Near death experience (for HC players)
- Momentum (if you lack damage output)
FAQ:
Q: Why don't we use Epiphany?
A: Currently there is a bug with WoL+Epiphany that causes it to do 0 Damage to the center of the attack =_="

NIce cant wait to try this in season 5 lol nice build
How would this build work with sub 800 para, lvl50-60 gems and no augmentation? Would it still be viable for T10, if not which torment?
Though being able to re-roll items with the help of the cube will hopefully speed this up
For some weird reason i cant seem to craft Corruption. Bug maybe?
Cheers for the answer! Also, nice guide, forgot to mention that simple fact before...
Works perfect with "one-shot" variation and only 6 ancients on T10(well - bosses are kinda tricky). About 15-19 minutes per act5 bounies.(T7 act5 - ~9-12 mins)
Have a bit strange question - kyoshiro blade is buggy? spent 400 reagents to make one ancient and had 0 rolls of 80 with ancient type. AFAIK Blizz told it's approx 1 to 5 chance to reroll as ancient.
Maybe because I am a lower level.. but on my 'skill tree'? Blinding Flash and Breath of Heaven are on the same 'tree'.
wow, thank you!
Thank you for the extremely quick guide build. I was thinking of going down this path and you have saved me hours of research and trials. Cheers.
i have smth like a bug with this build. it works fine, one-shot everything most of the time, but sometimes it deals zero dmg to white mobs(not shielded ofc), i use wol again and again without dealing any dmg, wtf?
upd: lol i've saw the FAQ section, bug with epiphany and wol, gj blizzard
Hi! Why doesn't the Sunwoku set work for this wave of light build? Isn't the 1500% dmg boost more than all your other boosts from your other equipment?
Thanks!
I would like to get the 3Dplanner of this build updated please, does anyone can help me out?
Thank you
Quin how do you effectively use these pants without getting arthritis? Is there any specific key bindings you use to make it easier on your fingers? do you use the move command on key binding?
Can I run GRs with it? I'm a poor version of this build, still missing some pieces like a Magefist, etc. I could run some fast G35 to upgrade gems, but i feel it's too dangerous, proc'ing a lot (im on Hardcore), I just thought, Taeguk would help the missing Armor + giving more damage maybe to miss the non-gold drop part?
Well it's not like those items drop specifically somewhere, just like any other legendary/set items, you should run your strongest/fastest buildof what you have, and keep on doing Rifts till you find them... get a good group, or public, and keep going! that's how i could make this build in 2 days of farming
Pintos Pride causes WOL to Slow, triggering Bane.
No it doesn't, I've reforged 5 times without any hope =(.
