So, I finally got Sunwoko's shoulders. Funny thing is, I've been sitting on the amulet and helm for a while and been waiting for a 3rd piece for the 4 piece bonus with RoRG. I ended up getting another amulet and helm (both worse) at the same time as the shoulders. I really need the gloves instead of the amulet, though. I miss my Countess amulet (it's a nice trifecta with dex and crowd control reduction).

I've been anticipating a Holy build for a while with a Flying Dragon and finally got to play with it (burned all of the FS I had been saving; oh well!). Check it out. (Super short video since I didn't make it anything special. You'll have to pause at certain points to see DPS when I zoom in near the end). It's super fun!

I need a lot more CDR to make it work more effectively, but I see the awesomeness that it can be right away.

Nice, some day I'll work on my monk, but I dunno when. Got my first RRoG today, not a very good roll but I got it. 1 more piece for jade set now.

I just tried jade for the first time yesterday and was underwhelmed. I guess I don't have it tuned properly, but I can kill elites MUCH faster with my pet build than with my jade build.

I'm gonna do a new monk when seasons start.

I don't like starting over. Seasons seem pointless to me.

Haunt will hit two monsters when using the correct rune and Locust Swarm will hit everything with the correct rune. Cast LS once, spam Haunt then Piranhas will gather everything up. Run in with Spirit Walk and cast Soul Harvest then run out while still in Spirit Walk. The only thing that lasts longer than two Soul Harvest casts are yellow mobs with extra health. Using Piranhas correctly will get Grave Injustice to proc your Soul Harvest down enough that once you cast Haunt and LS again, it will be available to nuke again.

I obliterate T6 on my Jade WD. Coming from a Barb, I was quite pleased with actually doing damage.

My pet WD has everything except SMK and doesn't kill as fast in T6. It is poison based right now which may have something to do with it but my single dog destroys elites. If I could only find some Int SoJs. My Jade WD uses a cold SoJ I found on my Crusader.

Looking forward to giving it a shot at least. I do have a decent cold soj as well. Hopefully I'll get some boots this weekend.

I was considering a monk in the new season but might do crusader and barb since those are the classes that I've spent the least time playing.

Yeah, I did this build after I finished the sunwoku set a few weeks back. It's pretty fun. Flying Dragon is awesome.

I bet it would work really well with rrog, the glove, and replace the helm with laws of seph. Your damage is coming from the holy exploding clone, and seph + epiphany would keep your spirit up. I don't have the glove yet, so haven't had a chance to test that out.

You have a quetz helm? If not, it will definitely feel underwhelming.

I joined some guy's request for T6 rift runs recently. He was looking for players capable. I requested a invite, he saw my jade doc only had about 5.5 m toughness and questioned my ability to hang in t6. 5 rifts in, I didn't die once while his sader had to be revived two or 3 times per rift.

It's all about timing and stacking the right skillz.

I prefer the toad mojo + reapers wrap so I never run out of mana. I get an extra boost of of toughness and crowd control from that ghost skill. Forgot what it's called.

My toughness used to be at 8m, but I gave that all up for CDR.

The key thing to remember is that soul harvest just consumes he time it takes for dots damage you're dishing. So, you want to hit the enemy with all dots skillz before hitting them with SH.

Just the voice? That is disappointing. =(

 

[Worthington]

Sigh, I just salvaged some underwhelming legendaries for the Soul only to read the PTR notes a few hours later that gives those same items some decent unique properties.

I have the gear to T6 with my WD (93% MoJ, 42/3% T&T, SoJ, TMF, Sunkeeper/Doombringer, Serpent/Thing of Deep/Zuni Mojo) but never bothered to try it.

I'll give it a try later and let you know if I can help you out or not. Also on skype if only I can remember what account/password it is, lol.

How about we bet on it? If Argentina doesn't win the WC, I get it. Otherwise, your BF gets 14:1 and can pay you the $3500 on my behalf. =)

No, I have to run with the Jade helm as I don't have the boots yet. I'll just stick with pets until 2.1 drops, then I'll start a new monk.

I won't need the spirit gain from Laws of Seph. I also don't need the extra direct heal. Two cyclones and I'm completely healed. I can spam cyclone all day long, as long as I'm surrounded, which is my primary focus for play style. Plus, what would I remove for Breath of Heaven? SW?

Yeah, the damage is primarily from the clone. My spirit is gained through critical hits bonus from CW: Rising Tide (which is very, very often when I'm surrounded) and decent regen with SW: Inner Storm and Exalted Soul (when not surrounded). The Inna's SW reduction to 5 spirit cost helps maintain that regen easily.

I've been focusing on farming the gloves so I can help complete this build. I also need a new SoJ. I still only have 1 that's level 60 with fire damage on it (it's a trifecta with 30% elite damage bonus). I did find another a while ago, but it has physical damage on it, and it also had garbage rolls, so I had to reroll one to CC and wasn't even thinking about this build back then.

I'm pretty stuck on having the Inna's bonus for all 4 mantras running. Every time I try running without it, I notice a significant difference. Also, it's amplified in usefulness for parties. Ice Climbers and Countess have become my staple items I have to run with (my Countess is nearly perfect; which is the primary reason). Even with 55-60% crowd control reduction, I hate being stopped for any amount of time. Swapping gear isn't exactly fun to me. It's novel and awesome at first, but I'm over that, save Nemesis for shrines in rifts.

It's a fun WiP and hoping to complete it soon. Both my fire and lightning builds are fairly complete, so this is something refreshing for me.

Edit: I also managed to finally get a The Eye of the Storm yesterday, with 29% lightning damage on it. I had to reroll regen to CC and it has no socket, but it helped boost my elemental DPS significantly with my lightning build. ^^

I'm not as active as I've wanted to be these days - never seem to find you on when I come online (late in Brussels timezone). I can do a T6 warden, slowly, but much faster if you're carrying with your geared WD

Are you going for the hellfire amulet?

I glimpsed a video the other day of a lightning dmg, int, crit chance, crit damage amulet but I've never seen it before.

P.S, I see wizards that are similarly geared to me yet somehow have about 5 million more toughness. I'm at around 230 paragon levels and have focused on +life and +armor now, not much + all resist as I'm an int class, so all resist is pretty high.

Had someone said that there is an excel sheet that will help you optimally distribute your paragon levels, based on your gear?

I'll be getting back into play in a little bit give me a shout. know a few over here need to restock gaming buddies

Got my first Jade piece last night, but they weren't really anything special, only like 0.5% higher DPS and -3.9% Toughness or something compared to the yellow currently equipped. I guess once you add a second or more pieces the bonuses start to add up nicely.

One question for you experienced players - how do you decide which pieces of which sets to wear? Obviously it comes down to what you can find, but how do you decide which pieces of gear to even go for?

You just have to plan it out. You know your helmet is going to be a special legendary slot (Jeram or Quartz), so you avoid set pieces for those. If you're running a pet build, gloves are pretty much taken for T&T (if you can ever find them... stupid RNGesus). Generally, there are slots you can count on for set pieces (boots, chest, legs) and then simply augment what you need. Like, I have Aughid's shoulders and bracers because they are easy to craft (or were easy when you had to find the mats, now they are super easy) and give a 15% elite damage increase / reduction bonus with a RRoG. I have Jade shoulders (and I'd likely replace my bracers with Reaper Wraps if I ever found a 5th Jade piece), gloves, boots and pants, but I only wear the gloves and the pants.

 

[pontifex]

I got my first legendary that I've actually seen people talk about wanting - the Unity ring, lol.

Should I be spending paragon points on run speed or should I be putting them into my classes primary stat instead? I've seen that run speed is really important, but more important than say Dex for a Monk?

I've been putting them in run speed for awhile now since my run speed wasn't very high with gear, but it seems like i should be putting them in Dex instead.
