do you guys run with sweeping wind?
i dont have slot for EP. hmm...

decisions decisions. On higher torment, EP seems to be a better choice. As mentioned, you gonna dash in/dash out for EP. So... SW are practically useless.

hmm...i have about +68% to lightning, would it be a waste not to use SW? haha...since it just chip away enemy life +3 stacks. have to do some experiment later on.

SW used to be my 1 of my favorite. stop using after (awhile) RoS when combat become too fast. most E die in 10 seconds.

With SW, basically, u move into a fight, cast SW (take your precious spirit), hit a bit to recover spirit and gain 3 stacks, then wait for little cyclones to do damage. by the time you generate a few cyclones (with luck), everything dead and party moved on already.

With full Inna a bit better since you can recast SW all the time to keep the 3 stacks. But I still dont like it since I like to pick up rares and stuff.

Ever since I stop using SW, i move into combat and immediately deal full damage, no more "gearing" up.

ps: due to that reason, Inna set bonus that gain you SW become less useful.

the lightning from Cyclone helps in proc rite?

Nope. It has 0% proc in ROS.

Point is, even if it does, combat too fast for it to be useful.

wow tried the EP...quite good for party kills. i just EP every enemy around me. LOL...
i dropped the SW. but EP often miss...maybe a bug? hard to target, had to press few times sometimes.

btw, my monk cant seem to find inna set.

Looted SOH last night.... woot woot

Congrats!
Your monk is very solid now.

Thanks Bro, will continue the spirit of Ytar.

Dashing Strike > Barrage
LTK > Spinning Flame/Vulture

Lightning Monk: (full blackthorne)

Deadly Reach > Scattered Blow
SW > Cyclone / EP > Essence Burn
Dashing Strike > Barrage
WoL > Pillar of Ancients
Cyclone Strike > Eye of the storm
Mantra of Healing > Sustenance

for lightning i'm stacking lightning skill %damage

Found a Hexing Pant... try TR + Epi build. Using only stuff found in stash, managed to get 64.5% CDR. Just move, everything got destroyed.

Even with DW, you don't need ANY spirit regeneration gear at all. You also no longer need any spirit generation skill.

The only problem with the pant is that it is currently bugged. You need to force move first before activating TR.

i only have one crappy inna chest so far. dang...also my DH found me a hexing pant. LOL

Got hexing pants in stash, so you are saying the bonus only apply when u start moving not the start of TR (from standstill)?

support monks anyone? http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-ii...pport-build-for

so quiet..all gone back to Ytar?

i'm still searching my usable inna, or SoH, or fist of awesomeness...

some seek akarat and some seek bulkhatos , the Might of Ytar has vanishes in some way
