genwuko build

i'll still be going dual wield.
staff is just not my thing.

the irony of it all? i still haven't gotten my 6 piece raiment set bonus

IMO, a +16% lightning damage in your WKL is pretty weak and not good enough for the proc in Shard of Hate. So, in this case, I would recommend Thunderfury + SoH. But if you can find Odyn Son (quite common), I think it's even better than SoH.

WKL additional lightning damage can roll to 25%.

Odyn Son proc send a chain lightning that scale with your lightning damage, IAS, CDMG and CC. So, it's pretty strong, especially if you have high DPS.

Another thing that make it better than SOH is that if there is only 1 target, all 3 hits from chain lightning goes to that guy.

Best build atm is still genwuko (sunwuko + generator). This required The Flying Dragon.

You can build a DW Sunwuko setup too. It's not as good as using Daibo since you cannot benefit from the 20% damage in 2p Sunwuko, but the 3500% is still the best damage we have. Especially after the recent 2H patch, it is definitely better than DW. Slow attack speed is not really my thing too. With the proper skill (Siege the Initiative - 30%, Alacrity - 15%, Dashing Strike - Radiance 15%) you wont feel that slow. Things become very fun when FD proc as well.

If you still wanna go DW, you still can with Sunwuko, but limited to Holy element to further increase the damage of the proc.

If you must go with lightning build, you should go for Odyn Son + Thunderfury / WKL / SoH. Both weapon benefit from additional lightning damage. You should use Lightning rune Bell. It offers solid damage. Raiment of Thousand Storm should be the set you should aim for. It offers additional lightning damage and solid DS 3000% as lightning.

i was using LTK all the while, however if you look at raw dmg, http://us.battle.net/d3/en/class/monk/active/wave-of-light wave of light - pillar of the ancient lightning rune will be better
LTK is 15%/spirit while lightning pillar is 18%/spirit ASSUMING your target takes the full 3 second area of effect damage over time (AOE DOT)

in high grift, chances are you'll be running/kiting a bit cuz monks are made from toufu.
pillar helps a ton on that even without the stun.
IINM the proc coeff on the AOE DOT is pretty nice also, meaning it'll help proc some of your effects, like my gogok legendary gem or wreath of lightning

That, and pillar aoe is quite huge.
LTK aoe/arc is just pathetic :/

here however shows LTK still being more preferable:

my monk lauya only. toufu level. cannot even reach grift 30. 

i was on this morning after watching rurouni kenshin at 1Utama...

second thunderfury, 3k dps and 600 dex. instant FS lol

barely under 3k, with ias etc.
and i dont have rama leg to punch hole... dex also min roll... throw la lol

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.

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

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!

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