maybe roster wasn't right word

add a monk or two to the group for testing/figuring shit out

My T3 set up. Did 4 T3 rift runs. The mobs definitely hits harder for sure.

Changed around the set up. This works very well.

50% CDR total.

These are some of the key stats for my monk to survive well in T3:

+86k Globe bonus / +15k LPS

MoE Sustenance Active / Transcendence Passive

Serenity PR / Epiphany Desert Shroud

50% CDR

Hard to die in T3 with these stats against elites so far.

Serenity(10sec)/Epiphany (30sec)/SSS(15sec) cycles around extremely fast. MoE Active gives huge dmg shield scaled off globe bonus. Transcendence passive makes the LPSS up to 700 scaled off globe bonus.

When in Epiphany mode, 50% DR + LPSS kicking in from LTK + MoE active give me enough sustain to tank the elite ground effects. Slightly moving side to avoid standing on the burst dmg ground effects makes everything pretty easy.

I'm debating on changing my Serenity rune to Ascension to make it 4 seconds or keeping it to heal me while invincible. PR rune gives me around 100k life since it scaled off the globe bonus. Ascension would give none, but it would effectively cut down the NOT invincible mode time to 6 seconds only since it resets in 10 seconds.

I'm basically invincible every 6 seconds.

I'm up to like 800k dps unbuffed now, but I haven't found any crazy sets yet.

I use my Rogar's Huge Stone + Paragon hp regen and it works out really well.

Also the strongarm bracers are so amazing for monk, deadly reach and cyclone strike both trigger the increased damage taken by enemies so it really helps when partying with people.

My build is meant for lower torment though because the people that I run with can't handle t3 yet.

Can you handle T3 with that stats? Seems a little glassy at the moment.

Well three of my passives are straight up defensive so my toughness goes way up in game, and I also have a different more tanky belt that I swap out, in addition to the shrine gloves with more ehp stats. I haven't tested t3 that much because I almost always play with my friends and they aren't as geared as I am. Once I get home today from work I will check out some T3 rifts and see what I can do. I would def need to change out my build too.

I have tried light dmg and fire dmg monk and I must say that I have enjoyed the fire one much more. my dps was also so much better due to the fire %.
Still waiting for my SOJ and magefist gloves. CDR is also important in my opinion, I am running currently with only 30%

Which passives are you talking about? Sixth sense or Guardian's Path?

Dodge increases the sheet Toughness number, but dodge % doesn't do anything against ground effects of the elites which is basically the only thing that should scare Monks.

The reason I'm saying this is that a lot of monks who say they run higher Torment games no problem with 10-20 million Toughness seem like they use the Dodge passives.

I would like to play runs with them to see how they do. Because if they do work well, then maybe it changed in RoS. I don't know.

Very nice monk man!

Must hit HARD.

Any of you monks got the Bottomless potion?

I got this couple days ago. Didn't even know something like this exist. haha

My rolled like 2500 LOH. It's pretty nice.
