Nice, although I am sorry that it is the weapon and not any of the other pieces. I haven't seen a single Inna's piece yet, and I am hoping it's anything but the weapon. I want the chest, spirit stone, and pants. I've seen a few green drops and but my excitement instantly turns to disappointment when I see "PLAN: xxxxxx" . Uggg.

I realized that Fists of Thunder - Thunderclap is so slow now and it seems to have a lower LoH coefficient than previously. So, I am looking for a new main attack.

I really like the feel of WotHF - Fists of Fury. It feels very fast, high damage, and it seems to proc LoH decently. I also really like the small teleport effect on Fists of Fury.

My main concern with WotHF FoF is the Holy damage aspect. Is the DoT the only holy damage portion, but the base attack is physical? If so, is it possible to synergize WotHF FoF with gear-based modifiers, such as +dmg to [element skills] (does that even exist anymore)? Also, would WotHF proc an effect on Shard of Hate?

I am also considering Crippling Wave-Mangle as my main attack. It seems to proc HIGH LoH and the AoE aspect is nice. Are there any gear-based modifiers on Crippling Wave-Mangle / Fire Damage that doesn't exist as anequivalentfor WotFH-FoF? Would there be a benefit of using the fire rune of Sweeping Winds with Cripple Wave-Mangle to have a common fire element of my attacks?

Well, I am leaning towards WotHF-FoF because the gameplay just feels a bit faster and smoother imo. But, I appreciate any comments and suggestions you may have.

Thanks!

Were you by chance using Mantra or Conviction? If so, that is a debuff on the mob, not an affect on players, so it doesn't work with Unity :-(

I agree about the socketed weapons. It is really frustrating to basically have the socket-or-worthless limitation on weapons.

I have a Pig Sticker with +20% Damage to Humanoids and Beasts. Does that bonus damage apply to all my damage output or is the bonus only applied to damage caused by the Pig Sticker directly?

Thanks!

I posted this on the official forums and a few others shared the same opinion. There was actually another ongoing post about the same issue but no real solutions other than the players pressing Blizz for a change.

I tried two workarounds:

1) Use Deadly Reach with Foresight on the left-click and leave FoT on the right-click. This gave me a way to boost my Sweeping Winds and the rest of my attacks for 30 seconds at a time. This was good because I was still able to use FoT on the right-click.

2) Put FoT on the left-click and Blind on the right-click. I did a couple of runs with this setup and the damage felt great but I'm still not completely comfortable with the mechanics of FoT on the left-click. FoT sometimes doesn't attack if I miss a click on a mob, so I end up holding shift a lot but I noticed that occassionally I forced-standing there attacking but only the 3rd strike of FoT is actually hitting the mob at first because I am not moving into range. This might work but I just need to get used to it.


I did a Siegebreaker MP10 fight using the above to setups to compare to a baseline of my FoT and Seven-sided-strike. With FoT and Seven-sided-strike, I got Siegebreaker down to 30% life before he engraged. With setup #1, I got him to 15%. With setup #2, he enraged at 2%.

I was a bit surprised that Blind every 15 seconds and the constantly-boosted Sweeping Winds was more of a DPS boost that the 18% buff from DR:Foresight that applies to all my FoT attacks as well as Sweeping Winds. Maybe I need to run setup #1 again and give Siegebreaker another try. Perhaps I just had a bad run when I first tried it.

Well, thanks for the comments.

I tried that earlier today and I couldn't set 5 as a skill key. I could only set 5 as a secondary key to the standard keys, so in this case 5 would be an additional key for the left-click but the skill would still have to be set to left-click...

:-(

Thanks for the comments. I'll post this in the official forums as soon as they are back online. I'll update this post if I get any useful information.

Yeah I used force-move as my primary moving-around method. The problem is that the game still will not allow me to map any of those skills (see OP) to the primary mouse button. The game actually prevents it. I think the reasoning is that if someone tries to move with the primary mouse button and Blind is the primary skill, then the game wouldnt know if you want to Blind or Move because Blind does not require a target. With that being said, I wish they would separate the Move&Interact&Primary actions from the left-click so we could do something like this:

Mouse Button 1 (left-click): Blind
Mouse Button 2 (right-click): FoT
Mouse Button 3: Force Move
SpaceBar: Interact

(using Elective mode...)

I like having my FoT on the right-click because if I hold the button down I start attacking on mouse-over instead of having to re-click different targets. It's great because I don't have to snipe-click every single mob running around and my time-between-targets is reduced. I've tried switching FoT to the left-click but I just can't get used to it after having the convenience of the mouse-over affect of the right-click.

My problem is that none of my other skills are eligible to be mapped to the left-click button. Mantra, Serenity, Breath of Heaven, Sweeping Wind, and Blind. I am pretty sure the reason is that these actions do not require a target and because move & interact are unfortunately merged with the primary attack. So, I have to take Seven-Sided-Strike instead of Blind and map that to the left-click.

Does anyone know anyway around this? I'd really like to have Blind on my left-click and I really do not want to move FoT off the right-click.

Thank you!

I like using my right-click (or "secondary") mouse button for my primary attack. I've noticed that my other skill selections cannot be mapped to the left-click (or "primary") mouse button, even with Elective Turned on.

Is there anyway around this besides making a different skill selection or remapping my primary to the left-click?

Thanks!

Hello,
I am looking to see how the Inna's chest and pants look on a male monk. Unfortunately, I cannot find a decent screenshot using the usual search methods. Would someone be so kind as to post a few screenshots of different angles, zoomed in, while standing in town? Thanks! BTW, if you have Vile shoulders, throw them on too!

Thanks!

That would be sick

Yeah! I'm hoping it does because it would be incredible. Maybe someone with the shoulders can confirm or deny.

Thanks!

The new 1.0.4 Death Watch Mantle procs an explosion of knifes. Does anyone know if those knife hits proc LoH?

Thank you!

Seven-sided Strike with Fulminating Onslaught rune. Do the explosions from the rune hit the main target or do they only hit the adjacent mobs? By main target, I mean the target being struck at that moment.

Thanks!
