So I followed your post, decided to make a monk off of it. :o
Had some extra igg and it was a bit of a change up from farming mp10 on my wiz. :o
What should I upgrade next on this, if you don't mine me asking? :D
Was pretty cheap to make this monk and he's just flying through mp5, have some igg to upgrade him though, my first run using him I found lacuni's that I sold for 400 mil.

Looks good man:)

If it's working well for you, just play it as is. I would just get a better skorn for more dmg if anything.

So legit!! Haha first run. This is obviously complete proof that monks rock ;) How much did you spend on this monk? He looks quite good for claiming it was "pretty cheap"...

Something that is really interesting, is that now it's almost as cheap to just drop OwE and not have to find stacked res gear, since you only need around 500 res all, not 800 like in the old days...only slightly more expensive if you find some good deals!

/e: I'm surprised you are running fleet footed instead of exalted soul or something like that. Do you really spend that much time on the move? MP10 especially requires you to stand and fight for a while.You may save more time getting bells out faster than running between packs at +10%. I suggest you try ES and see how it affects your runs! Plus, it's awesome to be able to spam 15+ bells in a row xD Both are good options though.

I have also swapped out BF for the Bells and I love it. I actually lol from time to time with all these jingle BELLS dropping, so fun. I prefer a dual wield vs skorn for the SW/Bells build, though I find myself using SW less than before (I farm mp5, and am looking to upgrade gear in order to try higher mp lvls, i.e. faster mp5 up to mp7). Here is my profile so far. What should I upgrade (weapons, I realize what I need but am having fun with the Shenlongs, and can't afford an EF + WKL + lifesteal just yet). Also, which slots should I *not* upgrade?

Most of my gear is self-found or crafted (besides blackthorne's + inna's). Found that int/vita witching hour and would love to swap it for a dex/vita one, but $$$. My budget right now is 35m, and have a $20 sale processing in the rmah, so + ~70m eventually

Quickening on FoT was the best swap I've made, save for bells, and once you get used to not thunderclapping everywhere it's great. I still use cyclone as I don't find myself having many spirit issues (I also have a full TR gearset in stash - 4p innas + bad skorn).

That "loyalty fervor" ring looks bad, but actually adds upwards of 15k dmg and I'd likely use that as my nat's ring slot, but I'm finding I need a high end nats to fill that spot, or I want one at least :P (nats + os + cd + cc).

Same issue with my boots. They seem pretty decent and the problem is that I don't want to drop mass igg on nats ring/boots only to find that I was better off before.

I should clarify that I do use sweeping wind, but am accustomed to free cast Inna's set and switched to Blackthorne's, so I keep forgetting to cast SW, not that it is less useful.

Sup guys, prob a stupid ques but, My monk im trying to keep the dps up there but gain LS on the EF side. I currently have a 1200+dex/vit. If i bought an EF with say 1050dps LS/dex/open socket and put the 110% crit hit dam gem, would it not be around or close to the dps i had before. Like 100 wep dps is the same to a gain of 50% crit hit dam? Thanks

Just did 2 farm runs on mp10 with the set up above.

Works well with a ruby on my head. haha

No point in farming mp10, but yes, it does work in the highest mp lvl without serenity/owe/sti.

Ally tanks A LOT and takes the aggros off me all the time.

Thanks, I wish i would have checked this before, still pretty happy though, took a 10k dam hit but also gained 2.80 LS, at 5.80 now. Which leads me selling this other one, Im going to be posting it soon. If anyone is in the market for one.

I'm thinking about remaking my monk, what are the advantages of using a skorn vs 2 - 1 hand weps?
