Build Guide

Mind you - Most of this is theory crafting, I myself have not hit the para requirement to do the hell levels to get ALL the set pieces. However, I do have the mental capacity to put 2 and 2 together and figure out what will work together when it comes to legendaries and gems.

The playstyle will be quite akin to the normal SSS build, MINUS THE USE OF CYCLONE. You will be doing something called circling.

Circling - Quite monotonous, run through mobs - get a group together, run around in a circle so they're mostly packed together.

Rotation goes as followed - Explosive Palm > Mystic Allies > SSS > Explosive Palm > Flying Kick x 3 to finish off low health mobs > Circle > Repeat

This is a pack hunting build and you can replace Zwenson's with something else, it just works REALLY well with group killing builds like SSS, as it procs rather often. I'd recommend Echoing Shade, as it's really fun on an AOE based monk and really helps on boss fights when solo
