EF+sickle yoyo-fear-stun-drag time FTW!

exploding palm is not that wise.. it consumes 40spirit. cant spam MoC with that

crippling wave is like a permanent debuff.. as long as you are hitting the mob, the mob takes additional 10% dmg.

plus it generates spirit per attack too.

and the calculation for the debuff isn't exactly total up all %. it's lesser than that.

your dps level doesnt have anything got to do with that.
if you're calculating spirit regeneration versus consumption, it's how u manage your skills and rotation. your dps has no relevance. unless you want to place in the subject of killing whites/elites in low MP, where you kill everything in short time frame, then we're talking based on different point of view. im referring to an efficient rotation. which gives constant dps boost with sufficient spirit regeneration.
our spirit pool (150) does not allow us to spam all buffs at one go. it's given that monks spam spirits for dps, sometimes for buffs/serenity.
i not only spam MoC, but also BoH/blinding flash. maybe that's why i feel exploding palm doesnt fit into the picture.

-MoC takes away 50spirit, spam at every 3seconds.
-BoH takes 25spirit - 15% for 45seconds + 16% for 15seconds (spam at every 15seconds)
-blinding flash takes 10spirit - 30% for 3seconds (spam at every 15seconds)

with the 3 above, (take into consideration if monks pop serenity/ sweeping wind once in a while) that takes 10+75spirit away.

spirit management is screwed if were to include exploding palm which consumes 40spirit, in 9seconds.
by allocation exploding palm, meaning you have to take one of these away.

FoT
MoC
Serenity
Sweeping Wind
>BoH
>Blinding Flash

and by calculating that. the dps increase is lesser than what you can get from BoH/Blinding Flash, which consumes lesser spirit, and gives high dps boost.

4 innas are too taxing to other stats. head+chest+belt+pants making you almost limited in investing gears elsewhere (lacuni, vile ward) which only left you with boot, rings, ammy & weapons to stack the rest.

how much you invested on your skorn, that was so impressive.

yup, nat soul + nat mark is quite common.

actually i dont think monks go for 3p inna. the spirit regen rate is so puny. it's either 2p or 4p in most cases. or in the case of all monks ive met.

i use fleet footed in solo. but in coop it's kinda useless. at our level of play, most ppl dont die anymore. or at very low frequency.
since u too use BoH. i always use guiding light. it gives dps boost to all your party members, instead of only healing them and gives only you the short dps boost.

it's good to use that for your SW too. im refering to the bug for SW.

yes, BoH heals, you dont need MoH for guiding light. BoH can do that. as long as you stand near your allies, in most cases, they are just in range.

about the bug for SW. when you cast SW, the % of the damage on your sweeping wind will be take from your dps at that very moment. it stays as long as your SW is on. unless you lost 3seconds and you have to recast it again.

so actually my biggest part of concern regarding spirit management above is also due to why im sticking to this build.

you cast MoC + BoH first. monitor your dps number. u have to do the next step before BoH cooldown.
wait till you get full pool of spirit. you will cast blinding flash and immediately SW before 3seconds goes off.

in most cases your dps would go beyond 200k at that short moment.
use SW at that moment.

test it.. u melt the white mobs right away.

if you have enough spirit. u can recast SW so it stays. if you lose SW, u need to repeat from start that again.

Yup..also if you use a skorn.....and switch back to 2 1 h after casting.

I think if the skorn has LS..the LS will continue as as long as SW is up..imagine BoH+Blind and SW up from a skorn...everything just melts..

Its a bug/exploit that Blizzard is monitoring..

you need buffs, not debuffs.
it takes a percentage of YOUR damage. additional damage on mobs doesnt apply.
actually i've also realized something..
exploding palm is applied on only 1 target. 40spirit is too expensive to spend lol.

*yes BoH + Guiding Light stacks.. which is why im hooked. as long as you heal an ally, it works.

i have actually tried exploring almost every skill.
exploding palm almost everytime, kills everything around them when they die.

my habit is to spam MoC at every 3seconds, the moment the icon goes off on my screen i jam that button again.
same goes for BoH. the icon cooldown tells you exactly when to spam that again.
when i used exploding palm. it depends on the speed of the party. i have to time my skills so it doesnt take longer than 9seconds for them to kill a specific target i mark. else 40spirit goes to waste. and most of the time when the elite has 9seconds to live, coop players smash their ulti. lol
like 7ss, BBV.. etc.   usually when any champ/elite is dying, i spend less effort in calculating my skill timing. too lazy for that lol.
and the main reason is probably i wont have 40spirit at that very moment.

say.. in an encounter elite, i would probably use 10x BoH in the entire fight. that's constant dps for all party member.
exploding palm only once when they die. the bleeding part is not worth replacing BoH imo.

Hey, found an inna belt, work better than my WH with no dex... Damn I still cannot sell that WH

Pant + radiance > mempo

for my monk, i dont use BoH unless i use guiding light passive. i dont see the point oh BoH without that passive.

comparing exploding palm with blinding flash, for my monk i would go for blinding flash.
the blind is awesome, the dps is bonus. plus i get to spam that without worrying. only costs 10spirit.
blinding flash is a better skill to aid coop play the way i see it, compared to exploding palm.
my logic is that the skill rocks, but only once in any elite fight. blinding flash is constant.

for me, it's not worth it.

(or 7m 25sec on the video)
is how i feel once blind wears off

try skype in HC.
it's sooo much more fun and thrilling

Worth the upgrade? going to cost 150M buyout though..
