It seems your form is bugged unless you require more than 2000 paragon levels?

Hey lit4g0

Season 2 is not started yet. So non-season paragon defines member's activities in the past for now. After some time we'll calculate average paragon for season 2 and mention lowest paragon there. Minimum non-season paragon is 600 which is end of season 1's average paragon. Since if you are focusing only seasons you should have 600 paragon in the past season during era recruitments. There is no other way we can predict new member's activities before starting of season 2.

Thanks for mentioning it. Should be fixed.

The Hybrids

Our idea for creating this clan were making social-active and helpful team for seasonal gameplay. In the past as a clan leader (you consider me as a clanmate anyway) we created social (competitive, high competitive) clans for different type of games like Heroes of Newerth and Ultima online. Played the games as competitive as possible, at the same time we were hungry for fun, learning and teaching also and being team-friends together as one.

Project Epoch, which was one of the best clan at Heroes of Newerth. Since they had players who are highly competitive and also had with lots of knowledge. At the same time (which is really hard to make it) clan had casual players inside. Since elders were mentoring the players who wants to learn more about the game. And it was amazing experience for me as a part of it. So wanted to make different version of this idea at Diablo 3.

In conclusion, we have clanmates just for talking and hanging out with friends together. we have visioned-competitive players who they can gladly help your journey for being a better gamer. We are together as one with breaking the rules inside and outside for our gaming experience.

That's why we are The Hybrids.

General Updated Information

Clan Name: The Hybrids

Well, don't get me wrong but there are not active-competitive clans around. I think Void, ZE and WQW are just best choices for this kind of clans. But ZE is more like non-season and they need tons of requirements which i respect anyway. Also WQW is Weng's nice clan. Same for Void. I just wan't to be a member of clan which i can jump on to the party whenever we go online. Problem is community is so small and we have limited decisions about clan if we are focusing competition.

So if i can't join this kind of clan. I'm thinking to create one.

Hey all,

After 3 years of Diablo 3 adventure, wanted to create some fan trailer. This is just cutscenes-music sync without effect since Blizzard's Cinematics are already amazing. Maybe i can create different version of this with After Effects when i have time. It can be more exciting. And yeah just a fan GMV. Enjoy ^^

Hey All,

After my solo suffer i want to join competitive-active clan since solo plays got some bottleneck in the game like gem upgrades, lack of paragon for competitive gameplay. I got also enough teamplay experience but wanted to achieve something as solo player without taking help, also did it in my opinion. But yeah time to play as team.

Here are my Informations that you need;

Clans that i was in before:

- Season (Most fun-active clan for seasons which i really enjoyed a lot - But competiton level was not enough for me)
- Apex (It was really competitive clan but sadly when WoW came out they just focused WoW - And i was in Apex for like 1 week and left cause of this)

Achievements;

Season 1 - Patch 2.1.1 Rank 1 Monk on EU side; (Lasted 1.5 month before the patch)
Patch (2.1.1): http://i.imgur.com/tbqqUN3.png
Season 1 - Patch 2.1.2 Rank 16 Monk on Eu side (No need an excuse for this but tbh i didn't have enough time for grinding gear after the patch)
Patch (2.1.2): http://imgur.com/z7xRYVq

Season 1 - Patch 2.1.1 Rank 4 as two players (I don't have screenshot for it)

747 paragon at the end of the Season 1. Consider it mostly solo.

What i'm looking for;

I'm looking for very active-competitive seasonal clan. I can help my teammates anytime if they help me also. Can join group rankings but i know i need teamspeak for it (which is problem for me - since i can't talk english correctly but if i listen i can play play support classes for group rankings without problem) You need to push your limits. Less talk, more play i prefer. And i'm expecting smooth gameplay from team for sure. I think i can give it to you also.

Can play 3-8 hours in a day.

Can play all classes but monk is my main right now.

If you are interested you can use this post, since my friendlist is full. (Don't get me wrong, it's just full) But i'll open slot for clan-group interests. If you need more information you need to show your achievements as clan also.

Another option, if you are up for creating serious seasonal clan for competition i'm also up for it.

Roll socket to another stat then gift it, then roll to %10 damage

Quote from SoundwaveOiA»

LOL that looks like one hell of a fun build! I'm definitly going to try it out. What I've been wondering, would it be worth it to use 2 part of inna's (chest and belt). It would give you some extra spirit regen and turn down the cost of sweeping wind to almost nothing. This would allow you to mindlessly spam it to keep your taeguk at max the entire time. Ofcourse you would lose damage on the belt.

Well i thought inna replacements over and over again for the build.

But here are the reasons why we are not using Inna set for the main setup;

1 - We only need 1 mantra-rune for this build. (Inna gives 4 mantras, other 3 mantras are irrevelant)
2 - We'll lose %15 elite damage from getting rid of aughild set, and also will lose %15 lightning damage from getting rid of Thundergod's Vigor. (It got small proc efficiency aswell) Trash mob die fast already. So total damage lose is huge for elites in my opinion.
3 - We can replace Aughild Set with Bracers, but with this way we will lose movement speed buff from our bracers then. (Also still %15 damage lose from belt.)
4 - After trying out a lot of times, i just realized spirit is not even the issue if we can manage mystic ally - epiphany timing.
5 - Only problem can be Sweeping Wind refreshment. With movement speed and dashing strike this problem also fixes itself when we reach other mobs fast enough. Just in so bad density rifts we need to refresh sometimes..

So overall we'll lose stats that we needed for this build, but will gain spirit second and free sweeping wind stacks.

Not worth it in my opinion.

I wanted to add inna set to for sure. But we can test it again. I don't think it will do better as dpswise.

I am highly interested in this build, but seem to lose spirit instantly, what is the key item to maintain spirit?

Thanks,
Demonmonger

PS. Would love to see a equipment and stat breakdown if you would be so kind as to share

Hey Demonmonger,

Happy to see people are interested about this build!

So let me explain spirit management and other mechanics;

Once you open rift, You need to just walk around with right click mouse. After you saw mobs you can active your sweeping wind (Only once) Then you can start using Tempest Rush with shift - right mouse click. Once you go through the mobs. You will start getting your sweeping stacks automatically. Dash through the mobs that far away as much as you can. With this way you will keep your sweeping wind stacks.

So here is the key for Dashing - Tempest Rush Hybrid Move;

Shift + Left mouse click only when you are surrounded by mobs. And do closest circle around the mobs there. It will spawn cyclones effectively for that area. And will do highest damage with this way. If you need to jump another place use dashing strike and suddenly stop shift + left mouse click combo for avoiding from little delay. After you land your dash/ stopping tempest rush then you can start with going Shift + Left mouse button again. So this is like smoothest gameplay for Dash + Tempest Rush hybrid move.

There are 3 strong mechanics for maintaining spirit in this build;

1 - Mystic Ally Skill - Passive - 8 Spirit per second - Also Gives you instantly 200 spirit when you press it.
2 - Epiphany - Insight 45 Spirit per second when you activate. (15 seconds long)
3 - Health Globes - Reaper's Wraps (Bracer) effect.

Also Hexing Pants of Mr Yan effect.
Crudest boots doubles the spirit regeneration of mystic ally.
Templar as follower gives you spirit regen aswell.

Spirit Management:

- Try to keep your Sweeping Wind - Cyclone stacks. With this way you will avoid wasting your spirit. Cause it consumes spirit when you activate aswell.
- Try to get health globes as much as you can if you are using Reaper's Wraps.
- You need some timing between Mystic Ally and Epiphany. Don't use both at same. Once you run out of spirit use Mystic Ally First, (which gives you instant 200 spirits.) . Then you can use Epihany after some time. This is the circle.

[quote]After some improvements - changes i can create new gameplay video with explanation. If you are following the build, you can take a look Testing - Changes sections on this guide. (For Improvements) It will be updated with fellow monk's suggestions-testings when some changes happen. Perfection for the win!

Quote from jamesworkshop»

I'm not certain on some of the gem choices, you run past mobs too quickly in my mind for Bane of the trapped, to do much good, the poison gem gives almost the same damage boost (10/15%) and works at a distance, any long range damage like the wreath of lightning or the tornado's left by Sweeping wind will proc the gem beyond that tiny 15 yard radius, you should do much more damage across the entire screen, the gem also does decent DOT so mobs can die off screen.

At higher gem levels Bane really loses damage potential, toxin gem boosts all damage and has a very effective DOT (scaling with gem level), especially for a build where most things die off screen (very few mobs will be dying in a 15 yard radius) and it's a gem that is very good in low attack speed builds with high 2-handed weapon damage.

Hey jamesworkshop,

Actually makes sense. Build is damage over time build. So like you said Toxin gem should work nicely aswell. Tonight i'll try what you said. We just get used to classics for a while. so sometimes sticking the best possible gem for just buffing damage output can't be true overall. Specially for this kind of (Damage over time - AoE) build.

Currently trying to improve more. So thanks for the idea!

I tried this build but switched to fire cus i got a nice cindercoat with max fire and max resource cost red. this helps me a lot to keep tempest rush going. I switched Epiphany to Ascendence for packs and sweeping wind to fire. only missing Hexing Pants then it should devastate T6 totally for me. Greets

Hey Raka80,

Yes you can replace some items with anothers for Tempest Rush builds. But Hexing Pant of Mr. Yan is kinda mandatory for Tempest Rush. After using it, you will feel the difference.

And i wanna know how was Ascendence rune of Epiphany?

Like you said Fire Tempest Rush is also possible and it can be efficient for sure. Got some nice damage modifiers for it. I'll also try to work on it. Probably other fellow monks created some builds for this even. So you can checkout those to get some idea for your fire tempest rush build. Cheers.

Quote from Saruhan»

The build is so fun and has a nice future.

It's a lot of fun! Not cause i came with this idea. It just feels smooth. So that's why i wanted to share.

Actuallyi took a break from D3 for 1 month again. And i don't have decent sunwuko amulet right now. But sunwuko amulet is just best choice for this kind of build. Since it gives you another armor piece choice. So we can add some set bonusses or some sort of offense/defense item with this way. At the end i'm not using the best gear that i planned for now. Probably recommended pieces will perform much much better.

You can see best gear pieces in guide that i linked at first post. (Recommended/Required ones)

Added detailed description.
