Build Guide


Quin69 here!


>>>UPDATED FOR 2.1.2<<<


11/02/2015

In my opinion/experience this build is currently one of the strongest possible monk setup for competitive greater rift laddering.

Mandatory gems:
Bane of the trapped
Taeguk

Third gem:
Gogok of swiftness - Mainly for the CDR
Bane of the powerful - Straight Dmg

Other viable gems:

Moratorium (HC)
2.1.2 - Esoteric Alteration - Need to test (looks great on paper)
2.1.2 - Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard - Need to test (looks great on paper)


Basic game-play strategy:
- Spread exploding palm
- Wave of light for damage
- Maintain your spirit with mystic ally on use and Epiphany
- Dash for mobility


Skill variations:
Dashing strike - Quicksilver (T6 Farming)
Mantra of Conviction - Annihilation (T6 Farming ~ swap out EP)


Passive variations(+hellfire bonus):
Seize the initiative (T6 Farming ~ in place of sixth sense)
Near Death Experience (if you play HC)


Stat Priority:
Helm: Socket>Crit
Shoulders: CDR
Torso: x3 Sockets>11% Elite damage reduction (secondary: 7% Melee dmg reduction)
Legs: x2 Sockets
Gloves: ChC>CDR>ChD>IAS
Rings: Socket>ChD>ChC>IAS
Waist: ChD>IAS
Wrist: 20% Lightning damage>ChC (secondary: 7% Melee dmg reduction)
Amulet: Socket>ChD>ChC=20% Lightning
Weapon: 10% Damage > 6 Spirit Regen > LPSS > LPH > Vit

you want dex/secondary resist on all your pieces(where possible) & health globe bonus ownz for Mantra of healing/transcendence.


People WITHOUT flying torch:
Just use any weapon with the highest DPS/Healing. (note: you will have to get more spirit regen or RCR)

FAQ:

Q: Why am i getting instantly killed g33+?
A: You need Unity equipped, and Unity on your active follower(with a "follower cannot die" relic)
Also! 1000+ All resistance | 16,000+ Armour | 350,000+ Health - Is a good amount to be around.

Q: Does the sunwuko 2 set scale with elemental damage?
A: Yes, the 1000% weapon damage proc grabs your highest elemental damage % then modifies the proc accordingly (all item damage cannot proc area damage)

Q: What gem should i put in my helmet socket?
A: Diamond. CDR = Dmg + Survivability!

Q: What normal gems should i put in my chest/pants?
A: Diamonds until your all resistance is over 800, Then the rest emeralds(dex gems).

Q: What follower should i use?
A: Templar. Why? Inspire (x1.1 ALL spirit generation)
