Build Guide

This is a fun build that scales to any skill level with Monk. If you are new and just starting out swap out Zei's gem for Esoteric Alteration. The important thing to know about this build is maintaining sweeping wind at all times. Letting this drop is a massive damage loss and damage reduction loss. When playing this build learn to keep a close eye on it. Keep up your manta and epiphany. Make sure you are moving to oculus circles created by your follower and attack hard on your fire cycle on convention of elements.
