Build Guide

Hello everyone, this is my bounty hunter Monk, because my Denetta DH got boring, so I needed a change. It works amazing on lower torment, and that's where I play it to full potential.




Main skill is Tempest Rush, Northern Breeze, or just use Tailwind if you don’t have Warstaff of general Quang.

Breath of heaven-Zephyr will be a huge speed buff, so use it whenever it’s on cooldown.

Blinding flash-Faith in the light is simple dmg boost. If you don’t want it, just swap it with something different, more to your liking.

Sweeping wind-Inner storm is used for amazing spirit generation, at 3 stacks it gives 8 spirit per second.

Mystic ally-Air ally is used for same reasons, and coupled with The Crudest Boots, you will have permanent +8 spirit per second, and a nice active when you get low on spirit.

Mantra of conviction-Annihilation is used for speed, as it gives 30% increased movement speed for 3 seconds when you hit an enemy.

Passives are Beacon of Yitar for cooldown reduction, Exalted Soul for more spirit and spirit generation, Fleet Footed for movespeed and The Guardian's Path for better spirit regen. Momentum is amazing too, so use it for more dmg if you need it, you will have it active 100% of the time.

You will need 2 sets for this to work nice, the first one I Sunwuko, this will be your main dmg dealer. Decoys deal 3500% weapon dmg, which is huge. The second set is not mendatory, but is really handy. It’s Inna’s set, and will allow you to have sweeping wind activated almost all the time.

Helm is Eye of Peshkov, for reduced cooldown on breath of heaven, as it will give you huge movespeed boost.

I use Vigilante belt for cooldown reduction, but inna belt would work too, if you want base effect of all auras. For breacers, use Reapers Wraps, I didn’t have holy reapers, so I have used strongarms here. Or even better Warzechian Armguards or whatever the correct name is, for even more movespeed when destroying breakable objects.

Ring of Royal Grandeur is mandatory, and The Crudest Boots are amazing for just about any monk build.

Second ring is optional, and the best weapon is Warstaff of General Quang, because it will allow you to move at normal speed while using tempest rush, and you can also use some other rune for more dmg.

Gameplay is simple, just use tempest rush all the time, except when you need to click on something. Use breath of heaven zephyr whenever it is on cooldown, and blinding flash also, for a huge dmg boost. You will be able to use those skills a lot, because we are geared to have a ot of cooldown reduction pieces of gear. Pay attention to your sweeping wind, with inna set bonus, you just need to click it every few seconds, if there are no enemies around you. When you encounter elite pack, you can spam your mantra, for more sunwuko decoys, and when finished, just activate mystic ally to fill your spirit to almost full.
