Some pretty good news for Monk in PTR 2.1.2. We are among the 1st and second in the leaderboard.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/152...9503?page=6#116

That got a lot to do with recent "fixed" on DH's sentry which 6-piece bonus erroneously applying to Sentry damage.

May be changes in Barb's Raekor? Previously barb got into really high Grift because they can do Furious Charge forever and look for Conduit pylon to end RG.

Ohh, Conduit pylon nerf on single target too.

All in all, I'd say, game is becoming more balance and that is a good news for monk.

don't say that... will get nerf

TR used to be the fastest mobility skill in the game... bring back memory on TR farming. Start quest "Kill Azmodan", TR all the way back to checkpoint in the beginning of the map. Repeat!

The new TR flurry seem to honour the old TR build by TianZi:

BAD NEWS! REALLY BAD NEWS!

"John: I’ve been working on Zunimassa’s and the Immortal King set. Don Vu has been working on Inna’s, which is going to become a Dashing Strike set."

...Don Vu has been working on Inna’s...

...Don Vu has been working on Inna’s...

...Don Vu has been working on Inna’s...


Raiment of Thousands Storms already a DS set... Inna 5 piece bonus also DS??? Don Vu.........

ps: incgamers made a mistake in the transcript. they didn't mentioned Inna in the livestream. so, Don Vu is actually working on the Raiment set. see video at 33:00 below.

VOD is up. Don Vu actually working on the Raiment set and not Inna as transcripted by INCGamer. They talked about it in 33:00.

Found a really great video recording software:

https://obsproject.com

It's better than Fraps, DXTory, Bandicam, etc. This is now my only video game recording software! After I configure it using Intel QuickSyn (how to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7iUY5UJsLI), I can record in full HD, 60 FPS and gaming has no drop in FPS! Work in OS X too! And it's free and open source!!!!

Moreover, the size of the video is so small! I no longer need to convert it into WMV using Windows Video Maker to reduce it's size.

This video was recorded at at 60FPS. 5 min 18 seconds only 119mb! Video is still in processing, once it's ready, you should click on the setting and view it at 720p60 to see 60FPS in action!

Thanks for watching!

Another 60 FPS goodies. Pub game, 3 caches in 19 minutes. There are so few pub game nowadays, sometimes, it's faster to farm alone...

Please watch n 720p60! Silky smooth 60 FPS!

Me and my buddy monk quick rift. We kill everything on sight! Close to 5b XP an hour.

hey, pretty good gears you have! i don't think you have any survivability problem in T6. Grift 35 and above is different story.

you really should not pair Inna set with Sunwuko. for Sunwuko build (particularly on Genwuko), you need to spam both Sweeping Wind and Mantra to spawn the clone which deal tremendous damage. The Inna set will make Sweeping Wind cost so low that this no longer possible.

consider Aughild's set for bracer and chest. for pant, can use Depth Digger.

Take out Wave of Light (bell) from your skill. To cast bell, your toon has animation which will stop you from generating spirit. Bell will be useful in 2.1.2, but not at the moment.

Replace it with Epiphany - Desert Shround, that will give you 50% damage reduction, making you almost invincible in T6.

Re-roll your shoulder to 8% cool down reduction. Use diamond in helm. Re-roll the IAS in your gloves to 8% CDR as well. use Paragon point for CDR too. you want to be able to spam Epiphany as soon as possible.

Try Mirinae legendary gem instead of Pain Enhancer. Also, important to bring those gem to at least level 25.

If you have SOJ, replace that Skull Grasp.

The game play is keep punching all mobs, activate Epiphany when dealing with Elite, spam both Sweeping Wind and Mantra to spawn clone and kill everything in explosion. Refreshing Mantra of Healing create protection bubble that hugely increase your defence as well.

My fastest rift yet! 3 min and 27 seconds. 6.7 bil XP / hour.

Watch in 720p60!

It's confirmed, Blizzard is targeting to release 2.1.2 next Tuesday:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/15699503837?page=3#57

Will be good to check if you are prepare for the changes. Some write up previously:

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry71424045

And some videos recorded in PTR:

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=71539641

You can finally pair your awesome Inna set with Sunwuko.

Basically, you are going to need "Incense Torch of the Grand Temple". That will be the BIS 2H for the new Sunwuko set. If you found a Cindercoat, keep it! The Fire-bell in 2.1.2 is going to be awesome in T6. Bane of Trap legendary will replace my Gogok. Bane of Power will replace my Mirinae as I am changing to fire bell

For higher Grift, you need Physical element for Perma-stun bell build. Keep those Physical SOJ.

There is also an awesome Cold TR build!

My fastest t6 rift yet! 2 min 45 seconds! No conduit but has a great monk and wizard and a good map.

Upgrades - You have not experience Monk's true powerful until you get Sunwuko set!

Deadly Reach - Strike from Beyond only turn your attack to Cold, unless it freeze them like Crippling Wave - Tsunami, you will not benefit from Relentless Assault.

Weapon - Once you get your Sunwuko set, get Incense Torch of the Grand Temple. That is the BIS weapon in 2.1.2 which should roll by next Tuesday. It grants you up to 50% spirit reduction when you spam Wave of Lightning (bell).

Yes, that's a non-gen Fire bell build. Fire build will be really good for T6.

For Grift, Physical Stun bell will be something like this:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/15538334886

In term of legendary per hour:

Grift > rift > bounty

Nice cindercoat you have. You already half way to fire bell build!

There comes a breaking point which, you should be able to kill most of the Elite in 3 seconds. Then, it should be easy and fast.

2 Rifts to say good bye to my superfun Genwuko build...

(Please watch in 720p60)

nah~ i just need a lot of rift key... while doing that, may be i ll just open the cache after patch... who knows... may be... glitch... i can find an Ancient RORG?! chance is close to 0% though...

look at what people do in preparation for 2.1.2?

http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/2s...s_are_complete/

OK! Here is the ezpz T6 farming. Played entirely with 1 hand, mouse. Still complete in just 3 min.

FireBell Monk!

Gears:
1. Tzo Krin's Gaze - Range bell and extra 25% Bell damage
2. Incense Torch of the Grand Temple - 50% spirit reduction on Bell
3. Cindercoat - 30% spirit reduction on fire skill
4. Sunwuko Gloves, Shoulders, Amulet
5. Crimson Boot, Pants - 10% CDR, 10 resource reduction
6. Reaper's Wrap - Replenish spirit

Skill:
1. Fire bell
2. Everything else is option!
3. But I use Exalted Soul Passive for 4 spirit regen and extra spirit.
4. Pop Epiphany Desert Shroud for tricky situation
5. Sweeping Wind - Inner Storm for addition spirit

Legendary gem:
1. Bane of the Trapped
2. Bane of the Powerful
3. Zei's Stone of Vengeance

I have no spirit regen gears but with Reaper's Wrap, there is really no need for any. I can keep spamming bell until everything is dead.

There is a Goblin pack towards the end. Was too excited. Watch in 720p60.
