Build Guide

I have been pretty successful with this build that relies very heavily on this seasons focused set which is Sunwuko for the monk class. This build also works really well in that it doesn't require a lot of paragon points either. This build can definitely clear GR45 (Torment X) and is good for farming T7 for cube materials as well.

The main idea for this build is to have a really good Wave of Light and enough spirit generation to hit with wave of light very often. With this build one can get 40-60% increased holy damage and it just makes Wave of Light crit pretty consistently around 1 billion damage even with modest weapons. Being able to burn stacks of sweeping wind for bonus damage is critical for this build to be effective.

So far in my usage it can kill most elites and champion packs with just a couple bells. Convention of Elements ring will also add a nice bigger punch when it cycles to holy and Wave of Light is executed.

The incense torch could be substituted for Furnace if spirit generation is not a problem. HOwever, the torch does make for nice spirit dumps on single target fights. The vengeful wind with 10 stacks and the holy rune should make it fairly easy to keep 3+ stacks for ~16 spirit per second and still have stacks to burn for the 6 piece bonus that the sunwuko set provides.

Mantle of Channelling is good for just more damage and survivability while channelling sweeping wind. Tzo Kirin's gaze is also a good choice if survivability is not an issue.

I would recommend diamonds once you start hitting the GR 40 and higher. The 2 piece sunwuko bonus should give you enough survivability to take most hits if you even manage to get hit.
