Build Guide

>>>UPDATED FOR 2.2<<<

Hey boyz! Season One & Two - Rank 1 monk (world) here!
In my opinion/experience this build is currently one of the fastest possible monk setups for T6 speed farming!
Please note: I always keep my diablo fans guides up to date and will be making adjustments to the guide whenever there is a shift in endgame meta! so be sure to check back, and vote on the guide!
Basic game-play strategy:
- Try and always kill an elite every 15 seconds
- Use Primary skill every 6 seconds to maintain the 12,500% dash damage
- Pop blinding flash on cooldown
- Pop Epiphany on cooldown
- Dash like a madman!
Skill variations:
- Breath of heaven - Zephyr (more movement speed, in-place of fire ally)
Passive variations(+hellfire bonus):
- Fleet footed (hellfire amulet dream)
Stat Priority:
- Helm: Socket>Crit
- Shoulders: 15% Dash Damage>CDR
- Torso: x3 Sockets>15% Dash Damage>11% Elite damage reduction (secondary: 7% Melee dmg reduction)
- Legs: x2 Sockets
- Gloves: ChC>CDR>ChD>IAS
- Rings: Socket>ChD>CDR>ChC
- Waist: 15% Life
- Wrist: 20% Holy Damage>ChC (secondary: 7% Melee dmg reduction)
- Amulet: Socket>ChD>20% Holy Damage>Dex>ChC
- Weapon: 10% Damage > 10% CDR
you want dex/secondary resist on all your pieces(where possible)
People WITHOUT in-geom:
Build does not work without In-geom. As for offhand, Any high damage offhand will do!
FAQ:
Q: Why not unity + soj?
A: Focus and restraint both multiply with each other (1.5*1.5=2.25 - Op op!)
Q: What gem should i put in my helmet socket?
A: Diamond. CDR = Dmg + Survivability!
Q: What normal gems should i put in my chest/pants?
A: Emeralds, moarrrrr dps!
Q: What follower should i use?
A: Templar. Why? Inspire (x1.1 ALL spirit generation).

Hell yes. I had a lot of fun watching you tear through the rifts using this build. Looking forward to trying it out in season three. Thanks for posting this on Diablo Fans man!
Used your artwork on the youtube thumbnail babe <3
Awesome Vid Quin regards from Mexico, really like the build, but any suggestion about farming that particular Set?
Haha just now noticed that. The alignment of the rat eyes was a nice touch. Thanks for featuring the image!
Farm in a group with other monks, either doing Speed T6 runs, or GR35 spamming!
Quin, this is an awesome build! It was a lot of fun to watch you refine it. One thing I was wondering, in the stat priority section for gloves you have ChC ahead of ChD. Is there a reason for that or would you want ChD more, given the 100% ChC from the dagger?
other options for speed farming with this set up: {I've been running similar for farming before i seen this guide up.}
replacing
Focus Restraint
for
RROG +SOJ
{yes i know you lose the multiplier and gain elite damage, but on t6 it never really mattered anyway you are 1 shooting stuff with DS with or with out it}
this opens up the helm for
Laws of Seph + Blinding flash shenanigans
{really hate the laws of seph undocumented roll back change to 75-100 spirit / blind flash cast from 125-165 )
still free 100 spirit every n seconds is sweet
Points to note:
Focus restraint have icons that show up when active, these only come up when you deal damage
(unlike what's suggested in videol
Flat cool down reduction is applied first then percentile second
(same applies for old school flat reduction from retired affixes)
is the build strong enough to work in 4 player T6 rifts? Since this build would replace the EP part of a standard T6 group monk, the hits would need to do significant damage even for t& 4 player groups. Maybe not one shot everything, but close to it. Is it that strong or is it more suited for solo rifts?
I didn't drop an ancient in-geom yet so I can't try it myself right now.
Awesome build for a monk as always quin keep up the good work
yes, its destroys T6 group rifts. If your gear is not that great ~ don't optimize around envious blade, optimize around a sunkeeper
good points
10% chc is just for mobs that are already damaged ~ i.e rift guardians, things that have been touched by your party or Templar etc!
thanks quinny quin quin ;P. Your monk guides are awesome. I love my monk because of you help.
Thanks ^.^
Im trying this build, good work.
Maybe the weapom Akanesh helps as offhand, it has 20% holy damage and a total of 5 primary stats.
Any tips to farm for In-Geom? Kinda new to the game. Thanks you.
Epic as always Quin! Keep it up man.
can i be able to use this build for T1 with out gear requirement
You cannot I'm afraid, for this build to work, you really need the required items listed in the guide.
And here i'm spending like 5-7 min per t6 rift on my fairly decent geared WD -.-
