Core:
Max sheet movement speed is 25%, so between your boots and paragon you need to hit that cap.
Extra spirit is amazing for more cyclone strikes,
Vitality gives HP.
Offense:
You do not benefit from crit, so it's not worth taking until you have to.
Defense:
Resist all is amazing because you aren't an Int class.
Life is second best here.
Monk is a dex class so you get diminishing returns from armor because dex = armor.
Life regen comes in last because you are healing yourself anyways.
Utility:
Life on hit is amazing because of all the bonuses you get from Little Rogue and Slander + Flying Dragon in cube (this is why you get on your weapons).
Resource cost reduction makes your cyclone strike cheaper so you can heal your allies more.
Area damage does nothing for you.
You're playing this build in GR's so gold doesn't even drop until the RG so this is kinda useless.
What are alternative weapons? Azurewrath? Sledgefist?
there is no alternative weapons, you will have a very difficult time without 100% uptime on your inner sanc, just gamble swords i got both in 10 rare upgrades in cube
Best alternative ammy?
Why Temple of Protection instead of Safe Heaven?
you can use sledge fist and azurewrath until you get little rogue and slanderer
you can use any immunity amulet as long as you have cdr and globe health increase is a nice addition
Cyclone strike / Soothing breeze is a huge mistake. even in 2players it's a huge mistake. you have to take implosion 100% of the time ( pulling chargers, mob fleeing away, etc... can't stress this out too enough.
I am using Azurewrath and In-Geom as alternative weapons, until i get Rogue and Slanderer.
I have a problem keeping up Epiphany 100% of the time, and i don't know why. I think it is because i have been sacrificing CDR for Health Globe, but m not sure. Also which Passive do you swap for Chant? Any advice would be great. Thanks man
What’s the optimal order for the skills with this build? Some say to drop an inner sanctuary first then spam cyclone strike (and use epiphany to latch on to elites) - but I've seen a bunch of different views on the order for the rest.
The support monks at the top of 4 player lb this season are doing subtle differences. They change the rune on cyclone strike over to implosion and switch to mantra of retribution with the transgretion rune. They swap out Eso for Gogok, they also swap the band of rue chambers out for 1 of the immunity ammys in cube, looks like they find that if you put the right stats with reduced cost and attack speed on gear enough you dont need those others bc with istavan blades set you attack fast enough to never run out of spirit. This will allow you to get fire + arcane imunity or fire immunity + hellfire ammy and should probally be mentioned in the build guide.
The changes i mentioned above that were made by the top mp monks will help you. Gogok should be great at keeping you alive through anything that does not 1 shot you because of all the life on hit in the build and it helps you reduce your cooldowns as well.
What gems are being used in the Helm, Armor and Legs?
