i really couldnt play without tempest rush anymore at all. doesnt matter if you are farming goblins act 2 or try to make progress, you can get out of anything with it. and even if you die you will get back up again with enough spirit to run away. the blind has a cooldown as far as i know.

yeah man works totally fine. tell me about yours.

act 2 gob farming post and pre clear

Inferno act 1

Deadly reach /w armor
Toss up between this and crippling with damage reduction.Currently I'm using deadly reach since I like the range and consistency of the buff


RMB:Inner sanc /w regen
This is my escape move for when I get cornered,it also lets me "outheal" any damage im taking which is great when I get walled or jailed inside alot of fire.


1:earth ally

Only use it since it tanks a guy for me ,usally I swap it with a random skill in group play


2:Sweeping wind /w increased radius
For 75 spirit I get 45% damage to all nearby enemies second for the whole fight which usually lasts 60+ seconds .


3:Serenity with +1 duration
If I need the heal from it chances are I'm already dead

4:Mantra of healing /w +20% resist
This is my only spirit dump and I spam it for a 3.4k heal+900 shield

This also brings me up to ~1.1k regen which is lovely

Currently i'm farming act 2 gobs and starting to clear act 1 on inferno

12k dmg
48k hp
1070 dex ---> 30% dodge
3043 armour --> 50%
344 res all ---> 53%

for progression in act 1 i'm using

for more defence
mantra of healing --> time of need
deadly reach --> keen eye
mystic ally ---> earth ally
serenity ---> ascension
NDE and OWE
cant decide on resolve or seize the initiative --> depends on mobs vs bosses

for attack
seven sided strike ---> sustained attack
breath of heaven ---> blazing wraith

A2 Gobos for clearing and killing

A1 Gobos, Also used for going through A1 normally

I usually switch out Blinding Flash for Inner Sanctuary when the situation calls for it, And obviously Deadly reach to go along with IS

I dont use Tempest rush ever because of the rubberbanding issues, when/if it gets fixed i would put it in place of Dashing Strike

My current stats with only STI on

Really just lacking a LoH weapon atm

Can anyone explain the importance of using transcendence vs seize the initiative? Other two passives of course being near death experience and one with everything.
