cow of coz ..

i do agree with this guys saying:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/13348785286#16

the 1-2-3 hit combo is the uniqueness of our class. our primary attacks should have higher dmg than other classes's primary attacks; spirit pool & spirit regen shouldn't be too much until we heavily relying on spamming skills to deal damage but in the return, a single cast on the spirit spender should deal lot more of dmg.

again, blizz must set a very clear direction for monk before blindly adjusting here and there.

just read the ptr patch note (red items, updated on Jul 18), look like blizz is buffing spirit regen & bell dmg.
pls keep some +holy% dmg gears.

wauu.. this is hell lot of mitigation.
so now the gameplay will be stack holy dmg, spirit regen and then keep spamming SWK decoy?

SEE YOU ALL IN THE PARTY !!!


cowithgun TAKE THE LEAD

no need thunder brother..
you can do T6 easily with SWK + INNA + 2H.

yes, sunwuko set bonus

yeap ... 1st time in 2.1 made me feel so noob
still blurr on how to do grift, ursi ..

you can have aughild together with core items SWK + INNA + 2H
you may check these guys profiles from 1st page - cowithgun, gladfly, yuhhaur ..

i checked the top monk ladderboard last night, almost all are using the same gears:
1. 2H flying dragon
2. SWK set
3. depth digger
4. crudest boot
5. TWH
6. leg gem - mirinae, swiftness, simplicity strength, bane of trapped, etc..
7. holy %dmg

core skills
FoTF, inner storm, air ally, mantra, DS

gameplay is almost same with the old cookie cutter, punch mobs to dead and keep spamming mantra to generate swk's decoy.
swk's decoy 3500% holy dmg & mirinae's 3000%++ holy dmg are seriously insane ...

Saw cowithgun name at 3rd page.
GR34, Congrats!

my rojak passive - harmony, exalted soul, 6th sense, unity
max can solo GR24 only...

not a prob if you still have about 40%cc after rolled socket.

fuyoh ,,,, nice FD
damn regretted salvaged mine long time ago.
since then no sign of FD anymore

Every procs from Mirinae's smite & SWK's decoy can crit 80m - 100m++ holy dmg easily.
I doubt other builds can come close to this figure.

look like you are having vacation. gratz..

cowithgun
manyak powderful!

my monk barely finished GR28
