Build Guide

This is a new approach for classical Sunwuko Monk and in my opinion this is one of the strongest monk setups for solo runs.

The main idea is to keep Epiphany up almost all time ( 50% dmg taken decrease + high spirit regeneration )

and

keeping spirit pool always with enough spirit value to use WoL infinetely by the procs of The Laws of Seph via Blinding Flash ...

Thats why we need min. 50% cooldown reduction + Obsidian Ring of Zodiac ..

**** Power of build :

A constant reduction of dmg taken 75% ( Epiphany + Unity ring )
29% dmg increase very frequently (via rune of Blinding Flash)
15% increased AttackSpeed (rune of Dashing Strike) and 20% dmg increase ( Momentum Pass.) very frequently
constant 20% dmg increase (Mystic Ally Fire rune + The Crudest Boots)
easy usage of Oculus buff ( Oculus ring with Templar) due to high mobility

**** What to do :

Use numlocks for Epiphany and Blinding Flash ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaAI8s8rft4 by Quin69)
Get positions to maximize your Oculus buff usage
Try to get Momentum buff up always (if you have no DS charge u just run a bit to have mom. buff)
All the others are similar with Classical Sunwuko Monk Builds

Enjoy ....

EDIT: GR103+ is down at 21 July 2018 in 12 min...

I am 100% sure that if some Top Tier Player use this Infinite WoL Build they progress much further on GR+

(with their high Paragon and extremely good gear set + their high experience & pro playing of game)..

As far as I noticed there are mainly 2 types of classical WoL build:

with no spirit generator and keeping distance which they use UNITY and mainly CoE rings (some use Zodiac ins. of CoE)
with spirit generator (mainly Crippling Wave) and they use a ring set Focus + Restraint

Lets compare our Infinite Wol Build with the first type at the moment by using www.d3planner.com. We do similar one for other type after.

INFINITE WoL Build vs. Classical Top Tier WoL build (No:5 at EU Leaderboard with GR112+ / Monk DCDEAD - 24 July 2018 list)

What I will do:

I will use same items + his/her paragon + same legandary gems and same caldesans.
But with our build skills and passives. And we will touch only one enchant ( CDR on off hand wpn instead of Area Dmg) since I prefer to have a CDR value > 55% to have 100% Epiphany uptime during fighting thanks to Zodiac ring.

Here is the result of d3planner for Monk DCDEAD with the gear set and build when he/she got down GR112+ :

https://www.d3planner.com/837694728

and with our build :

https://www.d3planner.com/954217642

Weapon Damage 3,148,443 %69 more
Elemental DPS 9,509,533 %54 more
Elite DPS 7,743,477 %54 more

Effective DPS 60,930,822 %40 more
Effective DPH 28,445,762 %54 more

If we look at Defensive situations Our build is just a bit more solid with 100% uptime of epiphany ( ours has 3% more CDR value)..

While they have mantra / Agility we compensate it with passive Sixth Sense...

Conc'n : Our build shines with much higher damage values with a solid defansive...

Infinite WoL vs Other Classical WoLs will be ready soon..
