Use reflect serenity. Class cannon dhs one shot themselves on it with impale, tanky ones might not, but will definitely hurt themselves. That 50% reflected is only mitigated by the dhs own mitigation, but not yours(unlike most other reflect afaik).


you talking about karma, or the explode one? Cuz I remember testing during PTR and the reflect being pretty terrible...thanks, I will check on this.

Gloom counters this really well, but no DHs use it anymore. might make them start again :P

Problem is, when they impale you during SS (85% of the time), the reflect does nothing becaus they are invincible

is it using instant karma or reap what is sown rune? i heard of this before but didnt had the opportunity to use it.

i did some quick test on them on ptr but apparantly didn't worked out so well on first sight. then stopped using it.

Nope. Lol its really a hard fight for monks to begin with.

Iria is no joke. He plays nothing like regular dhs. And he really does have 400k dmg.

Ill post my stats later tho. I was tanking the shots pretty well surprisingly.

And yes you and I gotta do it today :)

The instant karma rune works well. Some dhs get 1shotted by it. But the smart players know what it is and just don't shoot when im on se re nity.

karma. i tested this vs my friend and he just 1 shotted himself to me, often even when he didnt go full class cannon but dropped dps to like 200k with if i remember right about 60k life and decent res. i havent tested this vs really high ehp dhs, but they will definitely hurt themselves enough to be worth using it

yea, but thats something you need to adapt to by trying to make them shoot themselves. only true counter for this would be to only impale when in ss, but that would hinder their gameplay a great deal, most likely so much that it would be worth using just as a scare vs them ;)
