Spam Cyclone Strike on trash whilst attempting to keep Blazing Fists at full stacks.
On Elites cycle though invulnerability. 14s CD on Seven Sided Strike and 16s on Serenity means with ~6s of invincibility should mean ~40% uptime on invincibility. (It's actually ~37.5 but rounding up makes the stat look cooler). Seven Sided Strike does a lot of damage so use it!
Seven Sided Strike is stupid good with a strong 2-Hand. Can use Fulminating Onslaught or Pandemonium rune instead.
First skill is pretty open. Though I've had most success on Blazing Fists
Aha, I should have done some research before making that claim. My incorrectness aside I still firmly believe that Cyclone Strike is should be included in all builds. You could try implementing Seven Sided Strike - Fulminating Onslaught with Cyclone Strike. Maybe replace Dashing Strike with Cyclone Strike and use Mantra of Conviction - Annihilation for mobility instead.
I shall commence testing 2-hand with my Skorn! results may vary!
Combination Strike does not work like that, you need to use an extra spirit generator to get the bonus 10% damage. i.e. Use one spirit generator with another one. Which is why the Fists of Thunder - Thunderclap + Way of the Hundred Fists - Fists of Fury/Deadly Reach - Foresight build was a huge DPS increase pre 2.0.1
I am in firm belief that Cyclone Strike is a mandatory in ALL monk builds. It's damage per second per spirit spent + utility is way to good to pass. If you do take Cyclone Strike, you could change the Serenity rune to Ascension for the extra second of immunity.
I this is just my personal idea but I don't think having Staff of Kyro makes your build work. I think this can work with almost any other reasonable weapon combination. Heck Won Khim Lau + another Lightning based legendary will work.
p.s, You have Seven Sins w/ +Cyclone Strike damage! there is now NO reason for you to choose Seven Sided Strike over Cyclone Strike. (Unless you're in a group with a monk who already has Cyclone Strike)
p.s.s To further clarify the meaning of Combination Strike it clearly states that for each DIFFERENT spirit generator used you get the 10% bonus damage.
