Monk Uliana Seven-Sided Strike Build With Exploding Palm
Introduction
Uliana's Stratagem set puts one of the coolest looking Monk skills —
Seven-Sided Strike — in the Greater Rifting spotlight, along with
the helpful push of the class trademark, 
Exploding Palm. This high burst,
AoE centric playstyle is available in both Greater Rift solo progression (the
present guide) and speed farming (see link just below) variations.
