Build Guide
Hello, DatModz here! Introducing the Season 14 Torment XIII Speed Farming Build! This is by far the FASTEST Monk Build for acquiring materials and Greater Rift Keystones!
Basic Overview
- Avarice Band(Ring) + Goldwrap(Belt) + Boon of the Hoarder(Legendary Gem) is AMAZING. It gives up BILLIONS of toughness everytime you pick up gold so you never have to worry about dying(buff lasts 5 seconds) AND bunch of gold for Empowering Rifts!
- Maintain your Sweeping Winds buff at 10 stacks, if you are traveling between rifts or waiting for a Rift Guardian to spawn, give the keybind a little tap before it falls off so you don't have to Restack.
- Use Mystic Ally when you are almost out of spirit
- On your Vengeful Wind(Weapon) make sure you have one that grants 7 stacks of Sweeping Winds; most of the time a non ancient 7 stack weapon is better than a 6 stack ancient
- Use Dashing Strike to fly through riftts, make sure to kill every elite mob in yellow packs to sustain your In-Geom Buff.
- Epiphany on Cool-down to maintain your spirit
- Preferred Stacking Resist: Physical & Fire
- Caldesann's Despair AKA Augments: I recommend going as high as possible 100+ is very easy to achieve this season, each level grants +5 main stat. 6500+ Dexterity if you Augment every slot of gear, WOW!
- The most efficient way to get full Ancient Weapons/Rings/Amulets with ideal stats is using the Kanai Cube Recipe called "Law of Kulle" which allows you to reforge a legendary, it can even turn into a Primal Ancient! *Requires bounties*

Happy Pushing in Season 13! If you have any questions, leave a comment below or you can catch me live @ twitch.tv/datmodz.
Great guide, I noticed the Goldwrap, Avarice band and Boon of the hoarder were unnecessary if you swap Momentum for Harmony.
Run Kyoshire's Soul as in makes the Sweeping Wind Stacks stay up allowing you to focus entirely on distance and positioning.
Convention of Elements or Unity
Swap Boon of Hoarder for Zei's Stone of Vengeance
This will allow you to run 75ish GR in under 7 minutes and speed run 60 in under 2 minutes as well as party T13 bounties/Rifts
This is just my opinion/findings. This build was extremely helpful to start as a basis.
Thank you
