both are fun I guess
So what to equip for these builds?

Check out my monk

Hey guys I'm trying to put together a list of ideal gears so that I can have something concrete to strive for. It's important to note that I am shooting for the LTK fire monk and I'm planning on spamming that while using epiphany, serenity, and SSS to stay alive with enough CDR to just keep rolling those as I kick some literal ass. Presuming that all gears would have ideal stats that they could have like +skill/ele dmg, dex, CDR, CC, Crit dmg, and my OwE res (like I said I want something to strive for) I'm looking at a set up somewhat like this:

Helm - Andy's
Chest - Cindercoat
Belt - Cpt. Crimsons
Pants - ???
Boots - Cpt. Crimsons
Shoulders - ???
Bracers - Reapers
Gloves - Magefists
Rings - SoJ/RORG
Ammy - +fire/CDR/cc
Weapon1 - ???
Weapon2 - ???

My main questions here are how do I incorporate another set properly? Do I take a weapon slot with my shoulders and use borns? Is TF so OP that I need one here? Should I use the pants/shoulders slot for something like the Demon's set or Ashaera's? Are there some legendaries that aren't set pieces I should use instead? I don't know, any sort of general guidance as I try to craft this together would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much gentlemen.

I haven't finished my fire monk yet. It's just mostly craftable items that I gotta finish pretty much, but don't have much time to do it since I enjoy other monks more.

But here you go, this is like the best set up for fire monk. With AWESOME rolls on all slots, T6 rift solo is definitely doable around 15mins.

I mean idk if all the other monks tested it but i still use my level 61 helm that grants lashing tail kick a secondary fireball that passes through everything with the same attack dmg % almost as normal LTK. each one doing dbl damage vs 20% more damage.
@kim you tested it yet?

/e
just saw you use it
i love mine shame i got it @ lvl 61 :[

It's the best in slot helm for any LTK build.

It basically gives you 50% more dmg on every kick (624% LTK + 300-400% helm fireball), and the fireball pierces and makes AOE hit on the way.

I would always pull and use the ltk for aoe dmg. Pull -->Ltk towards anything i didn't manage to pull and the fireball still snags then. The ranged monk!
hahaha i love doing it

I want one real bad.

Still no hexing so I can move off pants though

yeah man hexing is really hard to get..

GNK should be a little easier

but yeah, good luck!!

GNK makes the fire monk a BEAST. It's a must gear.

Yeah then I can enchant my Andy's to CDR also itl all work out
