Signed up for an account because of how disgusted I am with these so called 'Pro' gamers.

Thanks for your comment and have a good day.

This person has to be a troll. How can you be even be "disgusted" with someone when you don't even know of a basic option? Instead of questioning WHY someone was able to perform certain functions and investigating via google, you make a pretty damning accusation for someone who was just trying to provide some variety to the community. Disgusting! /s

Most likely, yes. I'm not sure what they gain from their comment, but oh well.

Hello guys,

I have the full recommended item except the belt and the cubed helmet.

Is it normal I can't sustain spirit regen ? Are those two items unique passives gonna change everything ?

Thanks in advance !

Just re-read. Yes, cubed helmet is the entire spirit regen portion of the build.

This build does not work anymore after the recent rework for the Monk.

 

I cannot choose Sweeping Wind AND Dashing Strike.

That is not true.  There is an option called "Elective Mode" that allows you to equip any ability on any action slot (1, 2, 3, 4, LMB, and RMB) so long as it is not mutually exclusive with other skills (think: Monk Mantras, which are explicitly 1 active).  You can find this option by going to Options > Gameplay.  You most definitely can use both Sweeping Wind and Dashing Strike at the same time, and have been able to for a long time now.

OK, I tried that and it worked. I just started playing my first season and the last time I touched this game was over a year ago.

Thanks for the feedback. I just wish the game gave you a notification, once you reached a certain level, prompting you if you want to continue using the pre-designated slot feature. It was just confusing me a lot.

It's one of the loading screen messages actually.  When I first started, I was thinking the same thing "how do I get skills on other buttons?" and I posted in one of the threads here.  About 5 minutes later it showed up on a loading screen lol.

I'm trying the LoN setup. My gear is not full ancient yet. Is it better to use magefire gloves, or better another Ancient gloves to take advantage of set ring bonuses? 

[Guest GhostAutonomy]

Hi, just wondering what the perks are for using the ring setup for this build (Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac + Unity) vs the Focus + Restraint variant?

Aside from the obvious fact that Unity basically grants 50% Damage mitigation.

I ask this because I often play in groups, and won't be able to use Unity anyway.

[Guest SidSyndicate]

These are some slight variations to the sunwuko's build I found useful.

instead of blinding flash as a main source use way of a hundred fist-assimilation and cube flying dragon. It builds sweeping stack and spirit rapidly. It also allows you to use focus/restraint.

Kekegi's in the cube. When that pops you get 4seconds of free abilities.

For Passives I chose beacon of Ytar, alacrity, harmony and mythic rhythm

Ancient will be better.

It's basically just too useful to get constant resets through ORotZ. In groups, you can use another ring to replace Unity like SoJ or CoE.

You lose the defensive bonus of Blinding while also only benefitting from more damage when you are against 6+ enemies. You then lose a HUGE amount of defensive stats because of losing F/R.

Only procs once every 30 seconds, though.

[Guest Mac Daddy Slim]

Hey! I love the build. I use the Loan variation, and it's just a blast.

I am curious why you haven't addressed Rabid Strike in place of Crystal Fist (When the defense is not necessary) or Cubed (When In-Geom is overkill on CD).

I currently run RS with FD in cube and I think the DPS increase is worth mentioning. I would love to hear your opinion.

[albabe 33]

This is probably a dumbazz question but I'm curious here.  I guess you can't re-roll a Life Per Hit on the Scarbringer unless it's already there?  I looked through all the variables and there was no Stat that you could re-roll to Life Per Hit.

 

I usually play on my Computer at work but I'm playing this Build on the PS4 at home with my wife.  Is there a difference?

I have been wondering if it would be possible to attach to the build a short table telling you for how much stats you should aim.

I ask because I noticed that I had issues keeping up stacks of sweeping wind until I realized I had too little CDC compared to a random player on YouTube I saw.

Knowing from start I should aim for 50%+ when I had only 35% would have saved me quite some time.

I was hoping you could answer my above question about the Scarbringer.

[Guest Pete]

Is it better to use an Ancient Aquilas Cuirass or a regular Cindercoat for LON

I had a similar question about rings. Is there a toughness-oriented option to replace Unity in group play?

Hello,

signed up for icy-veins just to say where was my problem whit this build.

It's a little stupid... but maybe someone is the same as me. :D

I had old Vengeful wind with only 3 bonus stacks, and that was the main reason for

my sweeping wind to not last long. So maybe this will help someone. :)

And thank you for this build mister, it is quite fun!!! :)

ok, bye!

[Guest stryker]

I was wondering what the correct pants for this build are. Is it really Swamp Land Waders?

[timmpah 1]

how am I supposed to run this build in GR70+? All lightning/arcane/frost ÌNSTANTLY Kills me or procs Near Death Experience the second it spawns.

Please if someone could tell me what's I'm doing wrong that would be great!

I've never been playing monk, two days ago i made solo GR80 with this build in medium-well-rolled rift. Thanks for the guide!
