Movement speed to cap of 25% (try and get movement speed on boots to free up more points for primary stat).

Maximum resource if you want, but not really needed.

Cooldown reduction first, then Critical Hit Chance or Damage as needed to keep to the 1:10 ratio (ie 35% CHC to 350% CHD).

Defenses do AR first then Armor then Life.

Utility do RCR first then Area Damage.

Build Guide

This build can be used for Rift runs for gold/death's breath and also bounty runs. There are many abilities and items to help boost your speed and much room to swap things as needed either for more damage or more speed.

If you have no problems keeping spirit up (through use of Air Ally and Epiphany - Insight and Sweeping Wind - Inner Storm) feel free to swap Mantra of Healing - Circular Breathing to Mantra of Conviction - Annihilation.

For greater Death's Breath farming, remove Mantle of Channeling (or Hexing Pants) and put on Sunwuko's shoulders. Then remove Sunwuko's crown and put on Sage's helm and Sage's boots (removing Crudest boots).

If you have no problem keeping up Sweeping Wind stacks (since you will be constantly hitting with melee attacks) you can drop Kyoshiro's soul for Goldwrap for much better survivability.
