Update 3/12/2015

- Davlok Mystic Ally Mechanic Explain (Credit goes to Davlok for his work)

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16527322731?page=17#338

his work explain alot about Enforecer gem about +% damage additive so go check it out if you guys want to understand more about pet mechanic.

-Task and Theo only increase pet melee swing doesn't increase pet ACTIVE damage. This is bad news. I have check all the legendary armor slot and this is the best by far that support our build so no other choice to keep using it.(unless you guys can come up with other combo of gear)

Update Hotfix 2/12/2015

-No AI fix yet they still stuck in combat

-Rename Build to include (Generator) because there are so many pet build out there, some didn't have generator at all, some use TR as main resource spender to reduce cooldown, some just use only cyclone strike .

This build is a focus pet build main damage from Mystic Ally melee attack and Mystic Ally Activate Skill use which each rune has a different damage.

There are cold, fire, and physical rune in Mystic Ally but when you activate the skill , cold ally does the most damage by become a wave of water (like morphing in dota 2) and hit for a 10bil-30bil depend on your gear and your debuff skill.

The Pet usally hit for 100m-400m depend on your gear and how high stat you have but with full buff it will hit for 1,000m - 1,500m each hit and we have 10 ally 10x1,000 = 10,000m (10bil) in a second but this is just an easy example I havn't include the attack speed of them and those elite bonus

With the End Game Legendary Gem , Ancient Gear , and Paragon 800+ and all item Augmented + selfbuff your pet can do 1,500m-2,500m per hit

and with good gear I mean pet should attack not less than 2.00 attack per second (depend on how many mob in the screen you can debuff then with Pain Enhancer and Full stack gogok)

*While the pet hit mob for 1,000m each hit in full buff , player most likely hit for 100-500m damage per hit on Way of the Hundred fists. Don't worry this is normal for this build the pet will hit harder than player in most attack.(the damage will result vary depend on Paragon and Augment in your gear the higher paragon and augment , the more damage you will deal)

*Mystic Ally no rune = 50% increase Mystic Ally damage*

**this is not confirm yet that no rune with boost your mystic ally or not because I haven't test it yet. if you choose other rune for ally its doesn't increase the effect anyway so I'll stick with non-rune for now. DON'T choose Enduring ally rune it will increase your skill cooldown to 50 second because this is the main skill damage burst you want to use it more often.

The Main Damage come from

1.Pet melee swing (1 fire 1 cold and 3 physical so go for Physical damage if you want Single Target Focus Build)

2.Activate Mystic Ally (Cold does most damage mostly for AoE part)

*Pet get more damage from multiply source such as attack speed and some debuff *

Skill Explain

1.Way of the Hundred fists - Blazing fist = increase attack speed(more attack speed more pet damage)

2.Cyclone Strike - Implosion = debuff your mob to get increase damage taken to Ally

3.Dashing Strike - Radiance = can escape danger and also increase your attack speed

4.Mystic Ally - ANY RUNE DO NOT USE ENDURING ALLY - ** No Rune Ally has no effect according to davlok test **

5.Inner Sanctuary - Forbidden Palace = Protect yourself and Increase Damage taken by the mob

6.Mantra of Retribution - Trangression = Increase Attack Speed 10%

*This is the best by far most skill combo I can come up with. every skill synergy and buffing our pet damage.

**You can tweak or change them if you want but I recommend you try this first to get the idea of the skill synergy

*If you dont want to use Unity. Convention of Element is fine too big damage boost if you know when to time your skill .(you can 1 shot mob in T10)

**Obsidian Ring of Zodiac for cooldown reduction when cyclone strike use. good for farming T10

*** stat priority of the ring is the same CHC CHD Socket Attack speed Dex

****Task and Theo only increase Pet melee attack speed doesn't increase pet damage explain here ( http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16527322731?page=17#338 )

if you use Harmony passive try to get single element resist as much as you can and free stat slot you can go for life regen instead.

Legendary Gem

1.Bane of the Trapped = main damage boost. can trigger from your pet because cold ally give all pet cold attack and also you

2.Pain Enhancer = Have to be this gem because of our pet build lack luster of AoE damage this gem is helping us boosting the damage in huge amount if you cyclone mob more than 10 in a time. Your pet will gain more damage and also attack speed in the same time with just 1 single gem.

if you pull alot of mob and stack them high enough you will get maximum attack speed of 5 per second which greatly increase the damage and pet attack speed also the Mystic Ally skill too. At maximum atk spd you can see big crit from Mystic ally for 10b-30b easily.

3.Gogok of the Swiftness = Attack Speed is king here also any CDR is welcome for more mystic ally use.

4.Enforcer Gem explain http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16527322731?page=17#338 (TLDR less dps than Bane of the trapped and Pain Enhancer and Gogok of the Swiftness) read the link for more information. If you think you dont need that much atk spd and CDR then go for this gem but I'm not recommended

Gameplay

1.Cyclone Strike Mob (you will notice the mob get cold effect if they got pull because passive from cold ally)

2.Punching mob that recently get Cyclone strike to gain attack speed buff and Mystic Ally will try to attack the same target as you do.

3.Cyclone Strike again every 3 second because Pain Enhancer gem only last 3 second

4.Repeat

- If you found Good Density of Mob or Elite

Pre-Battle 1.Dashing Strike to middle of them to gain buff attack speed

2.Cyclone Them

3.Punch some hit to get attack speed buff

4.land your Inner Sanctuary

5.use Mystic Ally

Follower can be Enchantress for attack speed buff or anyone you like.

*Tips

1.Dashing Strike got 2 stack so try to keep using it every 4-5 second to maintain attack speed buff (in some case you can spare for avoiding dead)
2.keep look at your pet if they got stuck by something try Dashing Strike away from where they are to make them teleport to you so they can deal damage.
3.Since we using cyclone strike often try to gather mob around the map before use Mystic Ally. You can use CS 6-7 times to gather the mob around the map to best position before CC Immune start kicking in.
