Yeah it's a bit wonky at first, just gotta understand the mechanics.

You apply static charge on as many mobs as you can and when those mobs take damage, they have a chance to deal damage to each and every enemy with charge on it.

So you apply charges with FoT and pop them with fists of fury and just keep going, most of the time you should be doing fists of fury to proc the charges. When you start to see less lightnings around, start applying FoT again.

I've been kinda alternating. Worked a bit better yesterday.. Still not above 60 though. Need a hellfire also.

I like serenity better, 1min cooldown is soooo long
serenity saves you anytime you press it, unlike epiphany

4 seconds is enough to heal back to full and find a safe spot and/or apply FoT is nasty spots

Thank god someone sorted this out. All the YouTube shit I've watched doesn't clarify anything.

Just something I read that will be useful for SC

Max DPS rotation - Single Target
Step1: RG spawns.
Step2: Activate Radiance + STI
Step3: FoT until FD procs
Step4: FoF until you reach max DoT Stacks (drink a potion while FD buff is up if you haven't snapshot Stricken)
Step5: Primarily FoT; FoFing once every 2.5 seconds to refresh DoT duration.
Step6: RG drops below 75% health and doesn't proc STI anymore
Step7: Primarily FoT; FoFing once every 2.5 seconds to refresh DoT duration.
Step8: RG dies

Hello again!

So I've been working on my U6 monk for a while.. And I finally did a grift 60 solo.. Did it with 5 min left, and I could easily survive..

But I can't really go any higher, since I just can't get my BP to proc that much.. Sometimes I have to do 3-4 7SS to kill a white group, and on the 4th hit my BP procs and they get instant dead..
I've looked on the leaderboard and I can see, anyone above grift 65 use Convention of Elements.. Do it make such a big boost with CHD on items?

Here's my char: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Gerner-2549/hero/65201535

I think I have toughness and dmg..
~540k dmg
~1billion tougness when I use Epiphany..

broken promise build is pretty much outdated. it's too weak vs group of mobs.

go for crit chance + coe build for higher rift as damage output is a lot more consistent and even better damage vs group of mobs.

It was discovered that BP has an internal cooldown that limits the usability by a lot. When fightning packs of mobs, your palm does aoe dmg and you only get one bp stack off that.

Swap to CoE, you'll notice the damage much much more consistent.

I personally hated coe uliana build. They got like 71 GR with non crit so its not like it isn't viable.

I finally got my second LOH shenglongs wep. will probably try a solo rift again tomorrow

Some dudeski did maths on Coe vs BP: https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo3Monks/comments/3ltsx2/coe_vs_bp_math/

TL;DR
With typical gear CoE deals less damage than BP with 75% uptime. The average uptime of BP during a rift is unknown.
