also for ppl who use the bell monk build
should I take off 5.53 per sec increased spirit regen or 20% area dmg on hit for 10% dmg on my torch

5.53 spirit/sec is worth basically a free passive slot... unity is +20% damage essentially, so is momentum in t6. Swap the area damage, use your paragon for it instead.

...IMO you should go for crudest boots. this will give you 8 spirit/sec right away and also 200 spirit per cast. allows to switch momentum for unity. both will increase damage for 20 % but unity will benefit party (including your follower and mystics).

Issues surviving or doing damage?

Not much I can see that's technically wrong. Slight improvements to stuff like weapon damage. If you need life you can give up tempest % in helm for vita. Maybe a life % / secondary res borns chest.

If you really want you can try vigilante belt and crudest boots but that looses a skill slot and is less CDR (by a tiny bit) so you have to either lose breath of heaven (main healing) or blinding flash (damage boost) to do it. It's possible but ehhhh.

What Im doing now is trying to get a cold / cc / cd / socket sunwuko so I can use a helm. Debating on a leorics helm.. Or maybe a eye of Peshkov. That would result in ~ 200k life heals every 3 seconds.

Also could go with leorics and use any boots / belt. Maybe ice climbers and a non IAS witching hour for dps.

So a buddy pointed out another possibility. Currently using sunwuko helm / ammy / gloves and aughilds shoulders and bracers.

My sunwuko ammy isn't as good as my non so I lose about 10% cold damage but I gain 15% elite damage and 15% elite damage reduction and 7% melee / ranged reduction.

On top of that I got to roll ancients for aughilds so that put me from 21.5 mill toughness to 27.5 mill toughness.

I think main issue is surviving but that has prob more to do with my play style, getting in and out.

Oh high high greater rifts there is a ton of timing involved. It's either swiping in an out with serenity or clipping the group and dropping the stacks without taking on full hits.

A few ancients will add a massive amount of toughness though wich never hurts.

I think that's my problem with bell. I want to be able to face tank but it's not realistic lol.

played smart this time and was able to do grift lvl 38 with 3 mins left
also what do you think about this, i used gogok of swiftness over bane

think that is helpful or bane + smart playing style would be better

also got my first wunwuko ammy on this 38 grift
got the worst roll ever....
745 dex
18% life
17,400 loh
1os

Gogok is good if you have extra spirit regen but the attack speed gain uses more spirit than the CDR gets you. So I can't use one... But it would help with faster stacks if you can maintain.

I wanna try and go for 44-45

thats why i like tzo krin gaze. enchantress push stuff away from me and mystics tanks while i bell from away (the reason i use distance gem). 90 % of time while battling guardian i'm out of harm way, holding him on edge of the screen.
