Very similar to Jins

Fot instead of Cripplying Wave
Serenity instead of ally

Both are fun builds

I'm currently running with this (sub cyclone strike for bells - I was dual wielding and switched weapons)

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Veranor-1613/hero/1339118

This is not top-tier equipment, and the ammy was crafted. Had to spend a lot of time after a 7 month absence picking apart the AH to find lowball deals.

The most notable was the Skorn, which was on the AH for 5 mil. It had been up for about 2 secs when I pulled the trigger.

I've still got a LOT of work to do to improve this guy, but he is ripping apart mp7 with lots and lots of bells. Bells are everywhere lol.

Ultimately I want to dual wield, but I've noticed that even with scaled DPS similar to with the Skorn, the damage was considerably less. I venture that's due to main hand damage, which is why the Skorn provides me with 1.1 mil crits on wave of light. Also, am not using blinding flash because yes, it does provide a bonus, but its got a CD and I'm lazy to wait for it to pass.
Love to hear everyone's thoughts. I'm still working on this guy and will continue to do so until I reach PL 100.

EDIT:

This is the build I'm using right now. Subbed heal for flash at the last minute. Changed my mind lol.

I know that feeling. I love fast attacking with dual wield. But that mainly benifits spirit generators, not spenders. And with the buff to spenders, it also buffs 2h weapons for monks.
In my pvp build I don't even use a spirit generator because it would be so slow. I have 10/sec alone anyways

Hey I got a question for you monk experts

Im wondering which direction I should go with my gear purchases...should I go with the new fotm bell spamming build or stick with the classic dual wield/won khim build?

I have fairly average gear and about 200m as well as my fg to gear up

Go with regular dual wield build - its all purpose.

With my Bell build, I switch out 3 pieces of gears.
From Mempo to innas helm with spirit regen
From Witching to innas belt
Skorn with LS
All my other gears are the same.
If you need more spirit, use a SOJ
