    I can proudly say, last night I broke my orange hoarding addiction. Broke like three or four tabs worth of leggos that I was keeping because I have no goddamn idea why.

    Lots more room for gems and other mats that I'm never going to freaking use.

    it kind of isn't feasible without a board and a foote anymore. maybe with 6p akkhan you could get around not having a foote

    after tonight my crusader has 4 akkhan's pieces and 4 roland's pieces and a ring of royal grandeur all set

    so of course when I'm gambling away my last 190 shards at the end of the night kadala gives me a second akkhan's gloves instead of the roland's that would get me the 6-set

    at least it was 9.5% crit/8% cdr/rolled into 49% crit damage gloves though

    Tehehe.....aaaahaHAHAHAHA.

    Call me when you're looking for Roland's chest and get FOUR Akkan's chestpieces(Oh, and I already had one).

    IN ONE DAY.

    I think once I get my season monk to 70 I'm prooooobably just gonna stop playing season

    but my time with new-monk makes them seem potentially fun now, what are the good monk builds these days? The only one I'm not finding a chore to play during the trip to 70 is infinite tempest rush but that's because no 1H weapons can keep up with a 2H for damage before 70 and having to punch everything at 2H attack speed is unbearably slow

    I'm playing mine on HC, and fell into a slight variation of this Fire build (more defensive passives, Epiphany and Dash instead of Serenity and Crippling Wave

    I'm waiting on a good Magefist and Shenlong's Fist of Legend to drop so I can get past T5

    It's tons of fun though

    If you use the Gaze to cast bells wherever, do decoys come from your character or where the bell lands?

    This is my own monk build. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/olorin-1698/hero/22542323

    I'm sure it's horribly inefficient, but I have a blast with it and can run T2 no problem. Haven't tried T3 yet. It's a really fast and frenetic build. Dashing strike into a pack of mobs, cyclone strike a couple of times to pull them all in and then SSS with fulminating onslaught to blow everything up, then WotHF with dashing strike when available and repeated cyclone strikes to keep things grouped up until SSS is off cooldown. This might actually be a decent build if I focused on getting some CDR, like up to 50%. SSS every 15 seconds and serenity off cooldown every 4-5 would be pretty sweet, along with more dashing strikes more often. Unfortunately, I will probably never have a "good" monk due to my insistence on using only fist weapons and skills I like such as WotHF, SSS, and Dashing strike. I'd still be using Bells with empowering wave, but they changed that to fire for some reason and I'm focused on holy so I decided to try to cyclone strike and have found it to be a fun addition so that was good at least.

    Also, Harmony is my fourth passive, not sure why it's not showing up. Almost have my movement speed high enough to just drop fleet footed. May replace it with Resolve or Sixth Sense for more damage mitigation....or Determination for a nice damage boost since I'm always in the middle of stuff.

    Sixth Sense is way better than Harmony

    With my natural resists up around 1000, Sixth Sense makes me all but invincible to anything not Physical

    my favorite monk build right now is flying dragon w/ the sunwuko's set

    just stack attack speed gems/passives and punch everything at light speed, using two-hander damage, spamming mantra literally as fast as you can hit the button and 2/3 of your mantra activations causing a 3500% weapon damage explosion murdering everything in the area

    I made a crusader season character, but I'm not leveling fast enough. I'm only level 22 nearing the end of act

    Oh and on season character, will they be deleted at the end of the season? Because I don't want to lose my dude!

    at the end of each season your season characters just get moved over to your regular roster, any items they have in the stash will be sent to you by the message system

    if you've already beaten the game you can jump into adventure mode and just do bounties, which is definitely the fastest way to level up

    Nah there's other builds

    That's definitely without question the biggest one for grift progression, and just about the only one for solo progression

    But I absolutely love grouping with a monk in t6 rifts, regardless of build. They're so stupid useful.

    In terms of a balance discussion, sure, let's talk about grifts. But I for one don't give a fuck about playing them because it's horribly monotonous and boring, so if we're talking just general enjoyable to play builds? T6 is all that matters to me.

    the last few days my friends and I have just been running in circles spamming emotes at each other while we let pets kill things

    for real how good is 4.15 nats

    is it worth losing 20% elemental + 30% elite dmg and gaining like 30 disc, 250 dex and 7% crit

  • Options
    Big Red TieBig Red Tie beautiful clydesdale style feet too hot to trotRegistered User regular
    nats is the weakest 4.15 option because it eats that ring slot

    it might be worth it since the bp gives you like 50% more dmg, just try both

    calamity and helltrapper are both better usually

    Nats is still good because the disc is crazy in grifts , but it doesn't get as much dps

    I still want a 2.9k helltrapper for the meticulous bolts build

    getting two extra sentries out almost immediately is definitely more dps than the mfd

    Mfd = 20% dmg
    +2 sentries = 66% dmg increase or so

    It's only good in meticulous because slow ball lightning is better for proccing than frost arrow

    Does anyone have any kind of idea for the spawning rate of the goblin portals? I spent a few hours last night doing my Danetta vaulting through the Core of Arreat on Torment IV, killing a bunch of goblins, and the only luck I had was one rainbow goblin. I really want to get the greed gem so I can have enough gold to keep gemming up. Does anyone have some good tips for finding this?

    So, did a few ubers. First time I'd bothered with them and ended up with 4 sets of materials.

    Got this on my second attempt to craft a decent one:

    That's a very nice amulet. I like that they buffed the uber component drop rate to 100% at T6. It'll actually make Uber farming feel like a reward after the crapshoot that is key farming. How was your experience with farming keys? Did they up the key drop rate as well? I'm planning on going this route once I get my DH ready for T6.

    Keys are still 50% on T6 as far as I know.

    Didn't take too long to get 4 of each.

    Took a lot longer to get 20 of each, which I ended up not needing most of.
