Build Guide
Make sure you build up 4 stacks of Tal Rasha before you morph into archon.
I can see a lot of players are a bit lost with this build.
Please note that this is an advanced gameplay build, eventho in the end it looks fairly easy to use.
It is NOT optimal for solo play at any point, simply because Torments farming SOLO is completely not optimal.
When you lose stacks of Tal Rasha in archon, players in your group that are killing monsters are giving you a lot of archons stacks to help with the huge damage loss, that is one important factor with group play here.
You are supposed to kill between TWO to THREE elite packs within your 20 seconds of archon in order to maintain permanent archon form. Killing only 1 elite pack in archon is not optimal and will not allow you to farm efficiently.
Also, looting Death Breath is NOT recommended. Every half a second you lose in archon form might result in a very big dps loss (loss of 4 stacks of Tal Rasha) if you want to be efficient at looting Death Breath, go with 3p Sage set and some other spec where you will just leech and close rifts
My advice for farming :
Paragon 1-1000 : Torment XI
Paragon 1000-1500 : Torment XII
Paragon 1500+ with full enchants on gear : Torment XIII
Being efficient in Torment farming means sub 2 min runs. Adjust accordingly.

You are not supposed to be slow. If you are slow, you can't always re-morph into archon.
Overall, I would advise that you come check the gameplay out on my stream instead of crying that you don't understand the upvotes, because this build is insane, and stop trying to farm T13 at Paragon 400 please. You should be farming T11 at MAX. I am close to being Paragon 1200 and barely farming T12.

Blatty.
IMO You should be able to quick farm T13 around p600 :/
Otherwise, I advise you to write what you said in the Guild Build, it will help people to be less confused with this build.
Thanks.
Farming T13 is NOT optimal. Top players in the best clans are still farming T11 - T12 at Paragon 1000+
You have obviously a high opinion of yourself lol. And I don't really care.
I'm telling you that you CAN farm at t13 with a optimized build (like the LTK Monk) at p600 like "it's possible". Don't get mad.
I saw the update in the Guild Build, thanks for that.
The purpose of the BotH and avarice is for movement speed and the large pick up radius for globes from elites.
Comparing a MONK build to a WIZARD and expecting to farm (meaning 2-3 minute clears) TXIII at P600 is 100% idiotic. You are out of line. I farm TX and TXI because it can be done in 2-3 minutes with minimal effort (i.e. using mousewheel to move around and running over mobs to kill them)...and I am using an EB build to do so at P900+.
I will continue to do so until I can replicate the results in TXIII...which I'd estimate taking some time as a GR60 (TXIII) clear is not a 2-3 minute process at P600. Post a video of you doing TXIII in 2-3 minutes at P600 or exit the discussion. If you can beat this guy's clear at SIX minutes at P704 (close enough to P600), then you'll earn my respect:

Guide is poorly written and outdated.
