All right time to update my zDPS Monk as well since I'm feeling the Monk love.

Got Rimeheart and Frostburn so need some opinions on gear. Ofc all sets are available to craft.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/AllSunsDawn-1124/hero/49072637


Huge to-do list on her, obviously ran a ghetto build just for the profits, now since finding Rimeheart last week I have a legitimate drive to "finish" her.

First question to everyone doe, what is the current opinion on Blackthorne's? Is the +% Elite and huge damage mitigation worth it? With an SOJ there is the potential for +75% to Elites, but I sacrifice CDR from Born's + Captain's

I still want to have all options open regardless. Currently working on:

- Frostburns reroll to CDR, RIP Cold DH build I was working on
- Crafting STR Born's and Captain's, Shoulder + Chest and Belt + Pants so I can use Ice Climbers that I have or Illusory Boots when I find them
- Got a Physical INT SOJ I'll have to re-roll at some point
- Will do some Rifts later to try to get STR Strongarms, that should be np as they aren't too rare ofc


Then I gotta figure out what I'm doing with a pile of potential Sunwuko gear :D

This is all you need!

Druin is one of the best. He's almost a BoG monk.

Ha, I watched that exact video last night, it's about a month old now so I wasn't sure if anything had changed

His profile has a Physical Andy's though @_@

I figured once I get optimal CDR I can go for Kekegi's as another option as well, whichever one comes first

There's nothing that was changed since then.

If anything, it's the changes for 2.1 which still has not been finalized yet.

It can only get better!

Kekegi is good too but I would prefer Law of Seph on shatter.

I'm fairly excited for 2.1!

Also started watch Druin's other videos... I have all this leftover Fire/DH gear and this Inner Fire + Tempest Rush build seems insane. Holy crap.

Oh yeah, that build is pretty fun to play. Something like that should get buff in 2.1 too as well since we are getting more dmg skills.

I thought Madstone was the concluded best now? using SSS to apply EP.

EP is changing! :)

These are the quotes by BLUE

Congratulations to these folks!

I will echo the sentiments of others - this is why we have PTRs. A huge thank you to everybody who has been helping us test rifts thus far. Our internal testing team identified a number of skills and items to keep an eye on and Exploding Palm, Rimeheart and the Furnace were all on the list. The dedicated players on the PTR have shown what is possible when the game is stretched to the limits.

We're looking to make changes to Exploding Palm in the next PTR patch. Of the three (Exploding Palm, Rimeheart and the Furnace) we feel this is the biggest offender. It's not clear if Rimeheart is as offensive if you're not able to further transfer the resulting damage onto elite monsters via Exploding Palm.

Exploding Palm does indeed make it hard to discern where Monks stand without it. We'll take an honest, hard look at them and make any further adjustments as necessary.

All depends on different builds!
