Nice. Let us know how the edps is on the shield set up. I would love to test it out but don't have a decent shield.

It shouldn't be that bad since the monk builds really focus on primary generators now. The spenders use the mainhand weapon dmg anway.

Isn't there a shield that has like fire dmg +% or something?


No but the Hallowed has Holy.

Pretty sure lidless sheild can spawn all the different elementals types, as i've seen it spawn two different types on people loots. Though I'm not sure if i am right.
edit: it can spawn ias as well. 20 lite dmg/6 ias/700 dex/10cc. I'd take somtin like that over an off hand wep neday. Only problem with this is that you can't have two different wep affixes, like shard and tfury or odyn and fulminator, ect.

probably best monk sheild.

edit: another edit.... I think I might try gambling for a lidless, it is easier to get a sheild off of kadala then hope i find a good wep.

Can lidless roll other % damage?

I have my:

741 dex
16% cold skill damage
7% attack speed
10% crit chance

I lose about 14% damage with it, so if it was a lightning % one it'd be almost no damage loss for me. This is why I was hoping I could make a viable cold setup.

Hearing sweeping wind doesn't freeze with frostburns is discouraging.

Looking at the above post ^

If only mine was lightning damage it'd be nearly perfect.

Maybe an azurath / magefist / lidless build.

I'd probably have 20% less sheet dps then currently, but neither wep currently has any % damage on it... So the 33% cold damage could actually offset it. Also if I can roll frostburns.

What are you trying to do with Cold skills? Link the skill calculator with the skills you want to run.

That's good to know. I think I had one Lidless Shield. Charsi-ed it for no reason. Dumb me. LOL

Shields DO roll skill dmg %, right? Then it shouldn't drop the skill dmg too much. It's the DW 15% AS and 130% CD that we will lose.

It'd be pretty much the lightning build with different runes and more freezing lol.

Yeah you lose 15% AS and 130CD but also gain 10% CC

That is true, but it will be good for tanking. Men, who knows.

Shouldn't be too bad.

In the D3 vanilla, we never used shield, since dual lifesteal was the king of all. On top of that, the lack of AS made us pretty weak since we couldn't generate enough spirit to dump them for spenders like bell.

But for RoS, we may be able to come up with a build that can do well on high Torment. With some CDR, we can be in Epiphany mode for quite a long time per game. That takes care of the spirit problem. Now for RoS, the shield can not only roll 10CC, it can also possibly roll 15% skill dmg + 15% elemental dmg + IAS.

We will see.

I'm getting my 3rd monk lvled up at the end of Rifts.. LOL

I think I need like 4 monks.

Aside from the fact that Monks do not have the very high end spec for T6, we are actually very fine.

Got ton of options in viable spec and really not that hard to gear at all.
