Can't be as clunky as storm-breaker. In fact, you need quick finger in this build, so, i will not use clunky to describe it.

About the attack speed, you may think it's slow because it's 2H, but with Alacrity (15% IAS), STI (30% IAS), Gogok (15% IAS) and proc from The Flying Dragon, I can get 3.8 attack speed. It's feel a lot faster than before 2.1 even when I was dual wield. Just compare the video when I DW back then.



I can't tell you if this build is your type of style, my point is, this 2H build does not feel slow. In fact, as someone who love fast attack speed, and has been a DW user for a long time, I find this build quite fun to play with.

Not sure about this but I do feel the pain with RD in grift. Its either the decoy and/or mirinae.

in term of damage and sustainability, genwuko is better.

bellwuko can be fun if you pair with Tzo Krin's Gaze.

slap in double Unity with follower, grift 27 should be no problem.

that could be key to beat grift 41!

i m still just doing KW and uber atm... 76 amulets and counting...

anyway, i am quite efficient now in KW hunting with this setup:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk...ZfXU!baYacb

With some minimal changes to my normal build, I gain up to 95% Movement speed.

1. BoH - Zephyr - gain 30% movement for 3 seconds, with Eye of Pestkov, this can happen every 4 seconds
2. Dashing speed - Way of the falling star - 20% for 4 seconds
3. MoS - Wind Thru Reeds - 10% movement
4. Passive - Fleet footed - 10%

KW searching is a lot faster

If your guys doing key hunting, add me! (whole purpose of this self promoting post)

sent request i m in game now.

it will be my 3rd choice since 20% additional damage will not scale. Mirinae scale 60% every level up and scale with Holy damage. Another point is that Mirinae work well against single target such as RG which take a long time to kill. BoP may lost its effectiveness after 1min with RG...

yeah~ 10 set of keys... still working (on the keys)

i m in! tonite is the nite i will get my GG amulet!

based on your gears, since you only have 20% holy damage, assuming your Herald of Righteousness give you another 20% holy, you will gain 16.6% increased in damage for your holy attack.

if your drop in DPS is less than 16.6%, you can consider it since almost all your damage (proc from sunwuko) is holy.

on another news... 2.1.1 coming tonight... sad no raiment improvement

http://www.diablofans.com/news/48209-new-patch-datamined

let's say your bracer has 20% holy. both weapons give you additional 30% so the calculation is like this:

150/120 = 1.25 ~ 25% increased in damage.

For higher grift, I recommend:

1. Get a better helm with socket
2. Either gamble for Sunwuko amulet or make hellfire
3. Reroll / craft aughild chest to dex, vit, 15% life / reduce damage from elite 11%
4. Change belt to The Witching Hour
5. Get / reroll a Unity / Holy SOJ with socket and 6cc
6. Get / reroll RORG with socket and 6cc
7. Depth digger can keep, or change to legacy Blacktorn pant with dex, vit, life% and 2 sockets
8. Can keep your Crudest boot or change to Blacktorn boot - with the pant, gain 250vit, 10% against elite, 10% reduce damage and some gold find

About skill, you need to change your right click to Dashing Strike and left click to WoTHF - FoF. This is painful. I was so used to right click FoF... well... toopid wiz cannot assign some skill in left click. This will replace your Palm.

Get a miranae gem as well. Pump it up.

Have fun farming for those

taeguk should be a good choice too. if you use taeguk, you should use FOT - Quicken instead of FOF.

You are over-gear for T6 But you may consider changing passive Exalted Soul / Guardian Path to Alacrity for more DPS. Additional 15% attack speed also help to proc your Flying Dragon and Mirinae.

To gear up for grift, you need some sort of huge reduce damage. At grift 33 onwards, your double Unity and stat toughness may not be enough. Most in the top leaderboard sort for 50% reduce reduction from Epiphany, on top of Aughild set and Blacktorn and some reduce damage from elite from chest. Damage reduction is more scalable compare to life%.

Yup, Fot - Quicken is really the fastest spirit generator. More spirit more spamming = more taeguk stack. Most people with Mirinae use WotHF - FoF because it proc Mirinae the best.

After 2 days of playing, managed to upgrade all my lower grift key to grift 35, upgrading it one by one. Should not take 2 days if you have DH friends to do trial with you.

With 19 x grfit 35 keys, I am hoping to get at least 10 x grift 36 keys. With 10 keys, may be this time, I can break thru grift 36.



After 9 rounds of 35, managed to get 5 x grift 36 keys... sleepy, will continue tomorrow...

Thanks! Today's mission is to complete the rest of the 11 x grift 35. Hopefully can get another 5 x grift 36 keys.

Congratz to GymKhana for being the first solo monk in the clan to complete grift 36!

Thanks for the confidence! I think you have motivated other monks (including myself) to push their limit too

I see lifex playing his monk again...
