book first page post!

Inspired by Fe3doe build, I tested full BlackThorn set in T6.

1. Royal Ring (Reduced requirement by 1)
2. 3 of the BlackThorn set (immune to many ground effect)
3. Countess Julia's Cameo (Immune to Arcane)

Bonus:
4. 2 of the Aughild's set (reduce 15% damage by Elite and increase 15% dmg to Elite)
5. 2 of Cain's set (50% magic find... well i really want the 2 set bonus 8% IAS)

DPS: 881k
Toughness: 15mil

Available in 720p:



Analysis: Farming mat still okay, but with my limited DPS, don't think it's very effective. Take more than 1 minute to kill an Elite. Firechain can still kill me if I am not careful.

used to have 2 inna + Ring, but i stop using SW... i dont really like using it anymore. in t3, even Elite died in seconds, white mobs, die from Thunderfury proc, so i dont really need it anymore. not sure in your case

Another T4 Rift video... obliterate everything in the path... 3 monks + 1 awesome Crusader

WOW! Both are really good sword. I am using TF and Skycutter at the moment. I tested >100% Lightning build, I don't like it. Mainly because I hate FoT now. Proc, damage and speed so low.

I am on Holy build now, but still using TF. The proc is so good that you can use it for any build. Additional lightning damage will not affect the proc in my testing. With holy, the WoTH - FoF pack quite a punch and bell do stronger damage (although still weak imo)

Actually the Elemental damage of a weapon (i.e. +(981–1199)–(1175–1490) Fire Damage) does not add up to your damage like the +20% to Fire skill damage like in Axe of Sangkis and Devastator.

i have 79% holy damage + Mystic Rhythm passive... bell damage still sucks... bliz seriously need to fix the bell damage... no wonder everyone is not using it... i m still using it for crowd control (blinding wave)...

every 3rd hit, make your spirit spender skill (such as Bell, LTK, Cyclone) 40% more powerful. then it reset.

Explosive Light deal all damage in 1 shot @731%. You see big number when you use it, especially pair with 14% Wave damage in boot + 24% (SunKeeper)+ 26% (SoJ) + 12% Unity = 64% against Elite. With that gears, you see 15M for 75 spirit (50% of base max spirit), I think it's still low compare to 40mil crit in heaven's fury (that is after nerd).

That is already a good helm, match single resist, 6cc. Reroll to WoL. I used to keep a lot of FS, but does not seem necessary anymore since it's getting harder to get better gear.

Depending on your stat, if 6cc gain you 10% more damage, I recommend to go for CC. Although 15% LTK will give you more powerful LTK, 6cc give you overall damage including normal attack, sweeping wind, cyclone, etc.

Getting a little bored recently with really bad loot... Madcow solo T6 rift!

DPS: 1mil
Toughness: 22mil
Time to complete: 18min
Yah! No death! DS like a boss. Not using Unity ring bug.

Watch in 720p!

The 30% Lightning damage on SKILL will improve your Fist of Thunder and Lashing Tail Kick (LTK) - Scorpion Sting but it will not improve the proc by TF and Fulminator.

Another example, if you have additional Holy %Damage, it will improve your bell damage and the Third part of Way of the Hundreds Fist - Fist of Fury. The first 2 part of WoTHF are still physical.

List of legendary that benefit and do not benefit of the elemental damage:

Yup, WoTHF. Skill build is just like HolyCow except for high torment, I sub 7ss with Palm (Fresh is weak):

I will not say it's efficient, rift probably best in party. I have 2 more videos, party of 4, T6 rift, we die a lot, take longer (20 min and 25min) a lot of "LOL" moments. Probably not gonna upload that.

Efficiency aside, solo T6 rift is very fun! Allow me to play monk to the max; high mobility, fast attack speed!
