Duno what to re-roll! I really like Vit and LoH may be suitable for grift. May be I will just re-roll base damage...

If you watch the video, you will see that I can cast Bell at mobs which is really far from the screen.

Yes, BoT secondary effect will trigger itself. But only for 15 yards. So I will MoC - Dishearten which has 30 yards (still not a lot) to trigger it as well. In the end, mobs crawl real slow if they are near me.

Fire bell monk beaten Grift 43! (In 1 try! )

pretty different from normal monk style

unless you use Physical Bell that stun (Wall of Light)

Since Grift density buff and the damage from mobs is hugely nerf, it's possible to farm it for XP.

Grift 40 - about 5.7b XP an hour



Another video with around 6.8b XP / hour

Yes, more specifically Fire Bell Sunwuko. Damage to Elite from 300mil to 600mil over per bell (after first bell's proc). With Incense Torch of Grand Temple and Cindercoat, you can do this all day! The fire bell has huge AOE, each little fire monk that cast out just 5% less than the actual bell.

Just simply cast it in all direction. Every thing dies...

Another useful tips for those who intend to farm over long period of time:

Use Razer Synapse to assign your Bell to Wheel Scroll Down. That way, you just simply scroll the mouse wheel down (like browsing) to cast bell. For extra, I even recorded a SHIFT (force stop) to cast the bell anywhere (even without mobs) I like.



Also, I assigned Space to Force Move. Then in Synapse, record the Space Down. Don't record the Space up so your toon can keep moving. The trick is to start recording, press Space and hold it, use mouse to stop the recording. That way, you will have a macro that as if you press and hold Space.



Finally, assign Sweeping Wind and Mystic Ally when you scroll up. Press the Middle mouse to pop Epiphany. There, play the whole game with only 1 hand.

For those without Razer mouse, AutoHotkey can do all this and even more... *ahem* using Macro or any external 3rd party tool are subject to terms and condition in Blizzard and may result in... you know... *ahem*

Other than RORG, others are not very useful.

Most people told that bell placement is not important since fire bell has very large AOE. Most people will replace Tzo with something else. In my own testing, I _really_ like Tzo, casting a bell in the middle of mobs that at the corner of the screen, etc kill much faster than moving your toon there and cast the bell.

I've seen 644mil 1 time with no additional shrine buff. Zei's stone (legendary gem) help a lot, it gives me more than 30% additional damage. Yup, still have single target problem... Mirinae used to help me a lot...

Maximize Cool Down Reduction so you cam have Serenity up almost entirely.

this is not going to work! not enough CDR. you only have around 58.64% (assuming you CDR max in your paragon point). Even with Serenity Ascension you still have 4.27 seconds vulnerable.

zDPS can have 0% down time in Serenity Ascension. Can be done if you upgrade your Gogok to level 25 to unlock CDR, max Leoric (100% effect), max shoulder, gloves, both ring, both weapons.

Use this tool to help you

It is equal. But good thing about fire bell, the AOE is so large, I generally try to get a few Elites and kill them at the same time. While there are some white mobs, the progress bar move even faster.

In Grift 40, Elite has something like 4 Billion HP, but RG has 40 billion HP. It takes at least 10 times longer to kill it. Usually it takes longer because there are no longer white mobs which helps to crit and keep my Sweeping Winds that generate 8 spirit per seconds.

Grift 40 is now my favorite XP farming place! 9 bil / hour XP in this video! I still die if I am not careful, but it's more kick then farming T6!

no good build without Sunwuko...

so much win!

That would be Tempest Rush (TR) cold build. Really strong burst damage.

http://www.diablofans.com/builds/5249-2-1-...the-t6-destoyer

It's been a long time coming! It's not all fun! There are times, I just gota keep going although I don't really enjoy it. From Alkaizer Run, Fields of Misery, Decaying Cave, Royal Run, T6 fast rift to Grift farming. Been a really long journey but I'd say overall it is still entertaining. I just like killing mobs.

I hit Paragon 800. and here is the boring video. I am happy that I gota celebrate it with my long time Monk friend Belzeebub. (Watch fireworks at the end of the video!)

ya, good things, sunwuko set can do with Lightning, Fire and even Physical stun and holy build is possible. I'd say all can get into grift 40 and above. Fire does seem weaker against RG but can clear to RG much faster.

PS: if you intent to use taeguk, its not a good idea to use crimson and Inna set together. Both set will make Sweeping wind cost lower than 1spirit. So you can no longer recast SW to keep taeguk.

there existing another Lightning Palm build in Pub game. work very well in party.

TR cold build is really fast, but actually non-TR build is now even faster, especially fire bell. Large AOE and Dashing Strike and MOC Annihilation is always faster than TR.

Not really monk related, but those like XP grinding...

Greater Rift and +xp gears are now officially best XP farming place...

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.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/15700615156

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!

http://www.diablofans.com/builds/25388-2-1...super-fast-rift

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

http://www.diablofans.com/builds/26327-2-1...ning-speed-palm

Have fun!

gungdo is optional

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

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