hi guys
thinking of building a lightning or cold build with sunwuko
so what gear should i be looking for
got frostburn and rimeheart w/c is for cold
and thunderfury, odyn son, shard of hate, thundergod's vigor for lightning. also got the helm with +26% lightning damage.

currently running a firebuild with incense torch and tzo krin. maybe just got tired of just using bells so i want to try something new but don't know where to start

thanks in advance

if u got tired of bell, there are 2 other competitive builds you can try:

1. Cold TR build. TR TR TR, see Elite, stop, kaboom! 1 hit kill. You only need hexing pant.

2. Lightning palm build. This is a party build. You use Cyclone Strike, pull all mobs to you and trigger 500% more damage. Use Exploding Palm - Shocking Grasp to quickly apply palm to many mobs. Team mate kaboom 1 mob, chain reaction! Everything die! People loves shooting at mobs with Palm, they die in fantastic explosion!

To do this in solo, you need to change CS to Lighning Bell.

Have fun!

oooh nice...both builds look interesting
hexing pants haven't got one yet
gungdo gear also no drops yet

thanks bro! so you're still running firebuild?

gungdo is optional

still on my firebell build. very relaxing gameplay. just press Shift and blast everywhere in the screen...

my tiny monk is quite happy with firebell and it is easy to handle till GR40.
tried physical stun bell too, but i felt the burst damage is not as good as firebell.

well you're right about that
i even play with just one hand lying down on my bed.
the bad side is....i always fell asleep

any sign on ancient gear drop rate ?

Just got my second Ancient Torch tonight... pretty good for T6 farming / low grift farming. Increased my dps by 16%!

niiice ancient torch you got there.
I'm still stuck with my old one, still haven't got aany drop worth equipping.

question
since season1 has ended, we can now have a chance for season1 exclusive legendary drops, right?

yup, i just got a Krelm's belt...

Try Grift 44 today... fail...

Didn't die, not even once... but lack of DPS...

Will focus more on DPS next round...

After failing a few more tries with some variation of build, finally decided to put in my 4.6k Torch! RG surrender!

Nice!!

400m of damage makes all heroes jelly.

thanks for the party earlier; and also being the last straw for me to ditch lightning dual wield.

from 30-60mil dmg lousy pillars, to 200-300mil dmg explosive waves lol...
practically fully converted:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Quazaco...16/hero/5878974

skills pretty much copied from you, passives variation, and i got necklace free beacon.
now all i need is to slowly upgrade my existing pieces/gems lol

but seriously, from grift 27 to like 34 just because i go with stupid monkey armor...
i guess the 8666 dex is a sign... lol

Guys, I currently using fire bell build.
However, I found out that the damage range normally from 20M to 200M.
The damage seems to be not consistent.

Is it normal?

welcome to the club! i m DW in the heart! will switch back to DW most like after 2.2 with Raiment Set fixed. Look like that set will be a DW set!

Yes, that is normal. Your 20m damage probably crit without the Sunwuko buff, ie: first time your cast Bell after 3 seconds buff and without legendary gem proc such as Bane of Trap and/or Zei's Stone. Your 200m is probably after 500% more damage sunwuko buff and with proc from gems.

20m * 500% = 100mil
Proc from Zei's stone ~30% = 130m
Proc from Bane of Trap ~25% = 155m
Damage against Elite ~30% = 201mil

hmm when is 2.2 again? may regret spending that 150-170 FS and organs i saved up

not so soon. they are targeting it to be after season 2. and season 2 targeted to be at least a few months... so, for a few months, i'd say well worth spending!

Phew! Awesome then

so monks are the top class now?
checked ladder board just now, monk #1 GR52!
