Build Guide
Hey boyz!
In my opinion/experience this build is currently one of the strongest possible monk setups for pushing solo GR leaderboards!
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 (I HIGHLY SUGGEST WATCHING VIDEO FOR THIS BUILD, AS ITS VERY COMPLICATED):
- Debuff Enemies with cyclone strike, and maintain the damage reduction from cyclone strike.
- Apply EP 5~9 seconds prior to COLD COE buff.
- Get your assimilation stacks 1~3 seconds before COLD COE buff.
- Try have your Endless walk buff more than 80%+ DMG before COLD COE buff is up.
- Use mystic ally - Only during cold COE.
- Dash for 40% dodge when needed.
- Use Epiphany for defensive boost when needed.
Skill variations:
- Swap Unity to Near Death Experience for a more defensive setup (HC)
Legendary Gem variations:
- Swap Esoteric alteration for Bane of the Powerful for a more aggressive setup (Not suggested for high GRs)
Kanai's cube variations:
- Swap out Fist of Az for In-Geom for an OK T10 speed farming build.
FAQ:
Q: Why do we use seize the initiative?
A: Because it increases single target DPS, & it also scales the damage of some of the mystic ally on use effects.

He did say the RG takes forever and that's why you have stricken. You want to attack as much as possible and pop the allies when off of cooldown. The RG's with minions will be faster if you can palm them and incorporate the same tatic as the rest of the rift. I just cleared 77 solo HC with this build last night on XB1. I procced right before RG too but I finished with less than a minute left. I think some rifts with the right density can get better times but you will need some time for that RG
Okay, i'm testing out this build as well. Getting a little used to it on 65's/70's, so far so good.
It's not as hard as I would have thought it to be, though I have one little struggle: Rift Guardians...
Any tips for quicker kills on those? Should I use the same rotation or not at all? Or what is the best tactic for this??
Thnx in advance.
bahahaahaha this build is incredible! I don't even have all the pieces yet and I'm over GR60. Something I've struggled with on builds I've worked so long to get gear for. I just had some of the pieces in my stash. OMG so awesome!
Im only starting to get the play style and im struggling at gr55 then again I'm paragon 720 I mean there are people on the leader boards that do 90 plus with this build but they are also paragon 3000+ anyway great guide hard to start with then it gets easier:)
