What do you guys think about using Deadly Reach as the primary attack?

I sometimes use it as my second primary with Keen Eye or Foresight depending on the mp lvl.

But wanted to get you guys' opinion on this.

It's a little slower and doesn't really knockback the mobs as FoT, but it's very safe way of doing the high mp lvl runs I thought.



you can lose heal / blind and go comb strike

Yeah! I do use this quite often actually.

Foresight/Combo Strike/SOJ/Blind mean Insanely HIGH DMG.

would it be possible to drop owe passive with enough armor?
im at 520 @ res without owe, equal to a 63% dmg reduction
only problem would be molten/fire chains, so i thought i was gonna stack fire res, but not use owe

does that sound reasonable?

Which passive are you thinking about using though?

I thought about doing that before.

Nice monk man! Insane amount of life. lol

I would change both weapons. High DPS Echoing Fury with offhand that has stats of high dex/crit dmg/life steal/open socket to boost your dmg as much as possible.

You have very nice ehp just looking at the profile real quick.

Lifesteal>LOH if you have high dmg

skills and passives are pretty much basic set up we all use. you can tweak couple skills but the cookie and butter set up is pretty much the best.

For 2 handed weapons, I would recommend a Tempest Rush build:

Passives:
Fleet Footed/One with Everything
Exalted Soul (1 spirit/sec and 100 extra spirit)
Guardian's Path

Skills:
Fist of Thunder: thunderclap with high IAS / quickening if not (Fastest spirit regeneration)
Sweeping Winds: Cyclone (Still the best source of damage)
Tempest Rush: 25% move (forgot name)
Seven-Sided Strike: any (It now does stupidly awesome damage with a 2-hander... if you have life steal, one cast should replenish all your HP... arguably better than serenity)
Serenity (Just in case)
OR
The bell drop (like 7-sided, it now does stupidly good damage)

Gear: (This is the hard part)
Your priorities are Spirit Regeneration, Life Steal, and Crit %. Also, whatever defensive stats you need to feel comfortable while farming.
Spirit Regeneration comes only on a few items, so your gear is not that flexible. This needed because 2-handers have low attack speed, which equates to low spirit regeneration
Spirit Regen can be found on: Daibos, Stone of Jordan (both legacy and current), Xeph---??? amulet, Frostburns (legacy), Hellcat waistguard (legacy), Spirit Stones, Inna's set bonus, Templar's skill

Recommended setup:
Inna's 4-piece set with a radiance that has 2+ regen (use the 4 armor pieces, not the daibo)
Stone of Jordan with 2+ regen (and a bonus to either thunderclap, sweeping winds or tempest rush)
Skorn (for dps and lifesteal)

Unfortunately, this is gonna cost you a small fortune because 2-hand builds need a lot of gear to counter spirit and defensive losses...
