Hey guys, I have a level 60 paragon wizard but got bored and rerolled a monk last week and I have absolutely fallen in love with it.
I recently spent like 30-40 mil for a TR set and have been powering up my paragon levels. However, I've read that TR won't be as good in 1.0.7 and also with the XP buffs farming a higher MP would probably be quicker anyways.
build is looking good for next patch? Or what builds are good now for higher MPs? I've done a lot of research and I can't find anything consistent. Any ideas or links would be nice. Thanks!!!
Grimy's guide still holds true, don't know what happened to the thread here but here it is on the battle.net forums: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6079781580
Snapshotting sweeping wind got fixed/nerfed so I imagine the 'standard' cookie cutter build will be now:
Fist of Thunder - Thunderclap
Breath of Heaven - Blazing Wrath
Mantra of Conviction - Overawe
Sweeping Wind - Cyclone
Serenity - Ascension
*spirit spender*
Without the snapshot mechanic of sweeping wind, Blinding Flash - Faith in the Light is going to go out of favour for another rune or more likely, for Seven Sided Strike/Quivering Palm.
Gearing is pretty much identical between all builds, have a look at the top monks on diablo progress and you'll get an idea what you should be aiming for, because, frankly, they all look the same.
Echoing Fury + WKL is the greatest damage combo for a two hander. Personally I'd go for a life steal rare + WKL or two x life steal rares.
Tempest Rush is still going to be effective, but killing mobs the old fashioned way, rather than 'whirlwinding' past them will now be slightly more effective than it used to be in 1.0.6. TR (like whirlwind barbs) at MP0 will still probably generate more exp/min than the standard build.

TR is actually getting a buff (from 85% Weapon Damage to 155%), so I'm not sure why someone would say that it wouldnt be as good, since its pretty efficient in its current state. Like the above poster stated, with snapshotting fixed, you could swap blind out for another skill / rune combo, My non TR spec will probably resemble something like this:
Builds are basically the same with blinding flash taken out for blazing wrath. For low MP u can do w/e u want as long as you have decent gear and for high MP u'll basically get the cookie cutter spec with a little twist in it depending on your play style.
I just hate that they buffed the dmg instead of fixing skills and other core issues that monks have.Cause lets face it in high MP Cyclones are gonna deal more dmg overall than a Bell that costs half your spirit.And bell already almost oneshotted everything in lower MP. I hope someone on the blizz dev team comes up with some fresh ideas for monk.

Wave of Light will probably get swapped around with Lashing Tail Kick or perhaps Dashing Strike.
Cheers!
