Note: updated D3planner link to reflect the fact that elite% and elemental% do not currently buff MH proc damage. Try for AS or INT on amulet.

See here for the test I did on that:

Putting a few points into CDR (even though I've ranked it lowest) is probably a good thing to have if you are < 600 paragon.

Build Guide

EDIT: update on this build. I typically now fill the role of the gen monk in 4p group, so I'm recommending the Stricken gem over Taeguk. Taeguk is still pretty good for speed runs though.


Video shows a 2p GR85 clear.
This is a Tal6 AT:SD MH build for group. Core damage comes from MH / Paralysis with high AS gear / skills. Stacks as many multpliers as possible to achieve huge damage. Core play involves keeping your Tal bonus up, popping slow time when support pulls in density, casting Spellsteal for big buff in time for CoE lightning phase.
Works well with heal + pull support builds, since AT:SD allows you to stand in place.
For added damage, defense, and group utility, we use the OID and Crown of Primus with Slow time.
I think the Primus + OID combo offers more defense and group utility overall than a Hergbrashes + Furnace + Force Armor setup would be able to.
Elite damage on the furnace setup would be slightly higher (~8.3% according to sim), but overall the ST + OID combo provides more damage and utility for clearing the rift.
May not be the highest Damage build for a group compared to Firebats WD, but it's mighty fun, and works well at these GR levels.

Options for skill swaps:

  • Swap Black hole for Teleport: Calamity
  • Swap UW or UA for Illusionist

If you are running with an Firebats witch doctor in your party and pushing higher clears, it can be good to swap out Taeguk for Stricken.
