Hey guys. We now have some very interesting new information on PTR skill upgrades. Let's assume that 1.07 kills the snapshot monk and discuss some new possibilities for monk builds.
Personally, I'm most interested in the upgrades to lashing tail kick and bells. I've been buying high quality negative spirit cost in preparation for this change. In total, I have -19 to spirit cost for lashing tail kick. I think that with the new buff to it's damage. I may be able to turn this into an interesting build based off of low cost lashing tail kicks.
Either that or I'll experiment with the new Bells damage.
Anyone else have some interesting new ideas after looking at the PTR skill changes?
But I really like the kicks change. Had a ton of fun with it in early levels and was sorry to see it go when it got horrible in Inferno.
On the other hand, seems like they should have also lowered the spirit cost. Gearing toward it will just make a novelty build.
Even so. might just dust off my Monk and check shit out.
Looking at the current TR builds: Assuming the the TR change DOES free up a skill slot, I'm curious if adding cyclone strike maybe be worth adding in for clean-up purposes. It can only pull 8 enemies now, but does 313% damage, so there's a chance it could be enough for cleanup on groups.

Looking forward to the PTR to give it ago.
