Build Guide

***UPDATE - GR95 Clear with 1.2 mil Sheet**

A little bit about me. I'm currently around rank 600 on the Leaderboards. I cleared GR95 with this build and still climbing the ladder.

At 93 I hit a wall using the cookie cutter build and different minor variations of the build. I tried different Mantras, runes, legendary gems, passives, etc.

All of which didn't seem to have enough damage or damage reduction to complete GR93. I was always behind 30 seconds or 30 seconds late however you want to look at it. My damage wasn't quite there and I was dying quite a lot.

Then I finally thought of something, what if I change to Mantra of Conviction (8% passive damage/16% active damage) with Intimidation Rune (Enemies do 15% less damage) and changed the damage passive to Resolve (20% damage reduction). Another change I made was Dashing Strike rune to Radiance for 15% more attack speed. Because of MoC and Resolve, I did not need the extra damage reduction from Dashing Strike.

With this build I have better survivability and do more damage.

After making these changes I cleared 93 on the first try. I died once but that was because I had one of those floors where you step out and there's like 50 trash mobs and 2 elite packs right in front of the entrance. I got stuck in a corner with AoE all around me lol.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my variant. There is a lot of synergy with this build even though it's just a few small tweaks it makes all the difference. I'm sure you'll find it a lot easier to push with this build being less squishy and at the same time maintaining dps.

HOW TO PLAY:

1.) Activate Sweeping Wind and get full stacks - Keep it up at all times. Refresh when needed.

2.) Activate Epiphany - Keep Epiphany up as much as possible. Start killing enemies from max distance. Always position yourself away from your targets. I usually keep my targets at the edge of my screen for max damage from Zei's.

3.) Activate MoC to kill enemies faster - Do not over use this skill. It will drain your spirit. I use it based on the situation or right after I top of my spirit with Mystic Ally.

4.) Activate Mystic Ally when your spirit gets low - I generally try to use Mystic Ally right before I refresh Epiphany. It's situational.
