Is ruby a good option for a Skorn?

No.

im impressed because that monk isnt anything top and still he kills elites mp10 very efficent.

getting 250k dps without attack speed would really make the monk a true #1 farming machine. thx for this guide it shows a lot of possibilities.

i have a question though. does the ally aura that deal 10% dmg per sec proc 100% spirit regen or does that 2% per hit means he really needs to hit by his hand?

Attack speed is very important for this build.

Air Ally: He has to hit the target. And it's 100 spirit, not 100% spirit.

yeah right, I overrated that ally

I know speed is important to regen with the FoT but we need to be carefull so we dont start dropping spirit during TR. anyway thx for the reply, too bad that 2% chance is like getting into delirium mode, ill try replace ally then

The 2% seems extremely low, but it does proc very often when I play. Not only it tanks shitload, it gives me a lot of spirit per run which equals more dmg. It works super nice for solo mp10 uber runs as well.

And losing spirit TR really isn't the problem for this build. I literally have NEVER ran out of spirit when TR from pack to pack. This is completely different from the mp0 infinite TR build.

i approve whatever he says.

Thanks for the help guys! I have finally got all the gears and started playing my first monk. only tried mp5 so far. I really like it. It can kill things really fast!

One question. I tend to run out of spirit. I think it's because I spam the bell too much. Any tips in managing spirits?

So,i recently got back to D3,after maybe a 7x month break...i had 800ish and bought gold here,im sitting on 120m right now,tried your build yesterday with a gear from other guide,it went well..but i want to improve,currently,i can solo mp3,but i want more
what do i need to change?items,what kind of stats should i look on the items?i read about life steal on Skorn,but is life steal or life on hit?sry,been out for long

here's my profile:

thx in advance!

you'll need a lifesteal skorn to notch up the mp level.
there's so many items that can be upgraded on your char. the main stats you should consider for an upgrade is highdex/cc/cd to get higher damage.
