Used to hate playing Cyclone Strike. Thunderclap meant low spirit and Quickening meant no teleport. I just had a lightbulb moment and thought - What about Quickening + Dashing strike/Quicksilver? Now i'm in love. I'm never changing spec. :D

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aSfkdU!Xgf!YccabZ

Running fast/fast weapons, Quickening means cyclone every second and i'm AoE'ing like a champ. Guiding light has 100% uptime on every party member, which can be tricky using BoH. Dashing has greater range than Thunderclap, i can move across a whole map quick as barbarian and it's great single target damage as well. The root is ultra useful for keeping elites in 1 place and Dashing does quite the decent damage too.

Change Cyclone Strike for Wave of Light for epic carnage, just dash once if they're knocked back. ^___^

"Remembered" alot of things can or has to change in a spec, depending on gear or party, so i figured i should just post the very core of the spec. Here it is > http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aSfdk!X!Yc.ba

I really recommend the Quickening monk playing Overawe instead of Transgression because he will have so much spirit that he can keep a 80-95% uptime on the 48% damage part (while still spamming Cyclone Strike like a mad man). I also want to mention that this is purely a support spec for 3-4 parties. Change Cyclone Strike to Wave of Light for dealing damage with 1-2 players in the game.

After playing all night with dashing strike i'm never playing without it again (this spec or others). Super bad affix/mob combo? Tight spot? Arcane, jailer, desecrate, freeze? Nah meng, got dash. This is immortal spec. :P

Solid work there. I really like the mainhand, i'm sure that cost you a pretty penny.
I am a little confused by your choice of Inna's pants tho, looks like you went really cheap and could upgrade those easily. Maybe a base dex, 170+ vit roll? I would recommend AR for more damage mitigation but it doesnt look like you have any plans on removing OWE in the future so more Vit would probably be better.

540 is not tooo low but it all depends on your comfort area. I think 600+ is a good spot.
But in addition to the damage mitigation from the AR your Armor is very low. A few random strength rolls would really help that out and probably get you over 5K armor.

Do you ever plan on dropping down to 1 life steal weapon? I assume if you are doing anything over MP8 right now its a pretty slow go for you and you are still dying with such low mitigation

Is WoL damage based on main hand damage, or average of both?

thanks man.
when I was on AH I don't think I went cheap on the inna pants, but I have to double check tonight, forgot how much I paid. but yeah I could have spend more to get higher dex or vit.

I think I have spend already 2.5b on this one. and the result is not quite good to be honest. probably another 2b needed to make it comfortable in mp10. and then 1 month later I post it on trading forum, the price probably goes to 20% of what I paid for...
