This is the build, most of the stuff is explained there:

http://www.diablofans.com/builds/56298-do-all-ep-support-monk

What my thoughts are is building a support monk which can tank, CC, create density, buff/debuff and also deal some serious damage to trash mobs for quick progression in GR's

4 Piece Inna
4 Piece SWK
Fist of Az'Turrasqe and Sledge fist
Leoric for CDR, rest of the gear too

Still having some doubts on what the best possible skill choices are, so any input will be appreciated

Cheers ^^

I run a similar build. Not convinced about the sledge fist choice. I generally use ancient utar's roar for more cold dps for impending doom ep. Obviously fist of AZ is a requirement.

Not sure if obsidian ring is viable too, might be worth checking out.

Yeah, Uthar's will offset the loss of Soj which gives room for obsidian, which frees some CDR slots. Not a bad suggestion at all, thanks for the input

For speed 40's you usually want to drop go borns chest/sword, and cains pants/boots, and red gem in helm. With ancient gear you will still do enough EP damage, and get a ton more XP while you're at it. You definitely want the spirit rune on blinding flash.

For 50's you could drop XP gear for innas, but I would only do that if you're trying to make 60 keys by getting +10 key from 50's. Otherwise, 40's are better all around. For 60's you would have to drop DPS in order to survive, or drop toughness completely so you can do DPS, but you'd have to wait for WD to lock.

I run a blackthrones/remainants set up with thunderfury/25% lightning damage claw. With 110% lightning damage a bit of life steal and 75% dodge shes indestructible and does some pretty decent damage especially with the lightning chains.

This is my generic 40s setup too.. I typically don't use the spirit blinding flash cuz the packs die so fast

Yeah, for 40's I definitely agree.

This is my setup for that.

The idea of the build is to basically push highest possible GR with monk being main support AND also dealing damage. I realize that this build is trying to be everything at once and as such failing to preform any single task splendidly, but as I said it's mostly theoretical atm. :)

Edit. Epiphany rune on my profile should be Insight, not DS
