killspeed + mobility.
tr is used to move from mobs to mobs faster.

i even tried the dual wielder cookie cutter combination strike build http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#abYSXk!ZgU!acccba
it works really well killing elites in 7~10s but dropping bells with 2hander is way faster coz of higher dmg and AoE.

furthermore the 2hander build i made has superior mobility which dualwield doesnt have.




im using a midend skorn. 1408.8dps/5.8ls/154cd.
furthermore using 2hander skorns are cheaper compared to having to buy 2 weapons.

Fair enough, thanks for confirming -- I just wanted to check the reasoning. Using TR for between-packs certainly makes a SR++ build better since you aren't rebuilding the spirit each pack. I do miss TR a bit for getting out of dangerous situations quickly, but it currently isn't worth the slot.

Were you stealing enough life with the LS skorn at high MPs? I wonder if the new world will be LS Skorn for most packs, flip to 2xLS DW for nasties... I'm curious how DW does with a bell-oriented spec.

Also how were the new reflect damage mobs?

on ptr, i tested whether a a dual wielder or 2hander will be the faster pvm'er in mp5~7 and here is what i found.

below is the skill setup i use which incorporates speed when farming.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aWgSck!Zbg!abYcZa - dual wielder Ef + WKL
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#WejSck!cbd!bbbYZa - 2hander lifesteal Skorn

items on both setup are all the same. the only difference is the weapons.

mp5
dual wielder and 2handers are very close in terms of kill speed and movement.
killing normal white mobs takes about 2~3s for a dual wielder while it takes about 1 sec for a 2hander to kill by dropping a bell.
for elites it takes about 5s to kill when dual wielding while it takes 2bells(about 2sec) to kill with 2hander.
overall, both setup feels fast.

mp7
at this mp level, i felt something different between the two
killing normal white mobs takes 4~6s to kill with a dualwielder but it still takes 1bell to kill with 2handers.
for elites, dual wielder takes about 15 sec to kill while it takes 3~6 bells(which takes about 3~7s ) to kill with 2handers.
overall, it feels kinda slow with dual wield while mp5/7 feels almost the same with 2handers.

Upgraded a little bit....Imo its pretty effective @ mp1

I usually run dephts 2 and 3, arreat lvl 1, 2 and core, kill azmo then go to stonefort.

Getting 1 leg per run, few times got 2 per run

Trying to get a little more mf and dmg so I can 1shot all regular mobs

Thoughts?
