Thunderclap main attack, Blazing Fists every once in a while for buff.

Adds 16% dps from combo, attack + movementspeed from blazing.

Sure!  Do you have a budget?

I'd recommend a change in:

-Helm
-Pants
-Belt
-Weapons


Do you have any specifics? Im not really sure what to look for.

Thinking of dropping Blinding flash for Either DR: Foresight or WotHF: Blazing fist. Pros of the DR is obviously; 18% dmg is nice overall bonus, but doesnt help cyclones like 15% AS. The real question here though; Uptime. I like DR for the extra reach for molten/plague packs (only 500AR). And being able to keep DR up is easy due to 30s duration, but what about WotHF?

I need to get with the times. going DR: Foresight and dropping guardian's path or OWE (since I dont have much stacked res) so I can get combination strike. Any other recommendations? I have had crap luck with crafting, hundreds and hundreds of attempts at gloves and bracers have failed.

Link to current build; pay no attention to my crappy HF, those roll poorly for me too haha. I have a Unity.

Drop both serenity/boh for blazing fists/exploding palm

Drop the guardian path for combo strike

And -1.4aps weapons like mace/axe synergizes well with EF. If you aren't running EF, you should pretty much always get a weapon with at least 1.4aps.

I would recommend dropping your mace for LS WKL.

Reading through all your posts in the thread, i had really hoped to hear from you. Excellent. I shall do all the above. I also intend to replace the Mace, for some strange late-night reason I was thinking that a 1.2MH is smart because of weapon damage range on the slow MH. Its actually a great item if that were true, but it seems EF is really the way to go. So I will keep the sword and try to snag an EF...

What sort of EF should I expect in the 200-400m range? I see some folks prioritizing Dex/Vit on it, obviously i want a low fear %. What am I looking for in the best kinds of EF?

I also find it a little odd that I should keep BF vs BOH. CC is nice, and this build would work in a group also. But it seems to me that consistently, BOH ought to be better dps.

Since its probably true that BF is better dps/utility than BOH (since you recommended it), the next decision is BF vs. serenity. Well now, I use blind more of an "oh crap" button for CC versus a damage buff mid-fight, so i can see living ok without serenity. I am working on crafting some better gloves for more EHP (since their dps is so bad) so I should do fine without serenity. I basically use this build to farm middle-range MP's for keys, and do MP8ish ubers.

Oh, I meant this.

Ideal weapon set up:

Slow rare + EF
Fast rare + WKL
Fast rare + Fast rare

Obviously, this all depends on your gear set up, but it's generally like that.

If you are fine with Fear procs on EF, it's an awesome weapon for sure. But the good ones are very expensive, especially with with either lifesteal or base cd on it.

As for the blind vs boh, it really depends on your playstyle. For solo, I always go blind. I don't use owe, so i can go beacon/combo/sti, with beacon, blind has larger edps than boh.

But for group runs, which is the only thing that I do these days, I prefer boh or cyclone strike with soothing rune with guiding light for group dmg boost which is huge.

I have been trying out alot of different combinations lately ... there are just not enough skills slots.

FoT & WotHF + combo strike
Bell for burst damge
Palm for hugh damage when they blow up
SW cyclone
Overawe

I still wanna fit in blind, BoH
Have been mixing & matching them all.

FoF - BoH faith in the light seems to give some nice spirit regen to spam bells.

Too many choices ... not enough slots.
Back to the drawing board.

Interesting. so If I was to stay rare+rare, then I ought to get a fast MH, or replace my mace with my sword and offhand WKL. Otherwise, I could keep my mace and offhand an EF (best option)? I'd have to look for one with LS but i wouldnt get much dps for 200m or even 400m.

The beacon with blind is probably a good solo playstyle. Seems almost a waste to use a passive on blind, but if you use on ever CD its worth it. I am looking forward to weapon hunting (hahaha...) but really looking forward to trying out WotHF.
