Plavski posted:Is it still LoN bombardment and Hammers forever? Yep, same sader build. Non-season is pretty nutso now, G144 clear on Korea, G139 on US, didnt' bother looking what EU is. Wonder how Blizzard will "punish" the Frailty exploiters. I think a rollback before Necro is the easiest, anything harsher seems dumb in terms of potentially killing off your user base. Wizard is pretty nutso, fuczzang is a Korean streamer who fishes for solo G113 pretty regularly. One set that is fast for speed GRs (2-3 minute 80s for augments), bounties, solo and group play (hydra but it's a trap, save it for RG/1 yellow).

Pastry Mistakes posted:How the hell are some of you gaining 900 paragon in a season? I've been playing since release and I'm only like paragon 940. 4 man G90+ is easy IF you roll a zmonk or zbarb (support classes). If the DPS is strong enough, it's pretty idiot proof, zmonk drops sanc and spams cyclone strike for heals, zbarb dishes out health globes and pulls elites together. If you want to play DPS, you're going to have to augment your gear and be ok with "only" getting 4 gem upgrades (5 for not dying). I would ask LLJK last season if anyone had a zbarb/zmonk for groups, lightning wiz is strong enough to easily carry 80s.

It seems like I'm just twiddling my thumbs most of the time when wall of death and piranhas are both on cd at it does less damage to boot. What am I missing? Gargs are super dumb and rely on their cleave area damage to kill elites. Your playstyles would be to run around and find density, piranado, spirit walk into the crowd of poo poo you made and recast gargs. With grave injustice and enough mobs, you should be able to reset your cool down for the next pack.

McCoy Pauley posted:So with a relatively fresh lvl 70 wizard, and having just gotten the Tal 6-piece, is this the build I want to build towards first: APDs are for higher GR pushing, the shield bracers are good enough for 80s easily. APDs are annoying to roll since you want life per hit somewhere if you're going to solo push. I would run bounties till you get a 7 attack/8 cdr rrog, upgrade rings to try and get a good manald or 8 cdr, 7 attack or 50 chd coe. The manald is really loving hard to roll right, and still get screwed by the secondary. Make sure the fazula or swami you are wearing has maxed out secondaries, I would gamble ancients on that before I gamble for APDs. Upgrading wands should be your first priority above all else. Aether walker and Starfire are used for solo so use the best ancient you get with attack speed/cdr and ideally damage%. Serpent sparker is "ok" for group stuff but I think necromans are taking over the RG killer role now. Throw your DBs into rings and amulet afterwards Gamble for ancient tal, then gamble on that hat/belt then bracers.

AnonSpore posted:Okay so from fiddling around a little bit as far as I can tell monk tanking is like this: Post your build/profile. If you find yourself squishy, you're probably letting your DR buffs drop (spirit guards and lefebvre's) when moving between setup locations. Get into the habit of punching the air if there's no mobs to proc spirit guards. You need perma epiphany/inner sanc, and you'll be able to teleport/dash to a mob with crippling wave or cyclone strike. Mantra of healing results in lousy heals, Cyclone strike - soothing breeze is actually the majority of the heals, and how you reset inner sanc. 1. Enter GR, stick with DPS, it's a lot easier with LoN WDs, but remember the DPS aren't wearing illusory boots, so they can easily get stuck on mobs. Let zbarb cast IP/charge ahead to find the spot for you to drop inner sanc (disregard if you're doing 1 zmonk/3 lightning wiz, then it's just cyclone strike elites). 2. Drop inner sanc, crippling wave+cyclone strike If you have plenty of spirit, pop your mantra, but you want to focus on cyclone strike spamming. 3. During this time the zbarb should have come back/dragged mobs to you and recast IP. If there's not enough density, stick with DPS and follow barb. In general there should be a "shot caller" i.e. zbarb is best since it should be dropping IP, scouting ahead while pulling mobs to zmonk. If this doesn't happen, figure out real quick if DPS can kill the elites or not. It should be real obvious if you have enough density, the goal of a GR is to finish the rift as fast as you can, it is not to kill every elite. If you see bad affixes (juggernaut, teleporter, illusionist) feel free to skip if there's not enough mobs nearby.

DrSeRRoD posted:Yep. I've never played this build before, but unlike some of the other LoN builds (LoN Frenzy Barb & LoN WD), this one felt especially tough. I died a few times just trying to kill the first elite pack. After a few resets and not really knowing what the hell I was doing, I closed it and may try again later in the week when people posts walkthroughs/guides on The Reddits. I just hope the Challenge Rift for the week Season 12 begins isn't a pain. I played it like Impale DH, hunt for elites and then gtfo. The biggest thing for me was not holding down strafe, you're hatred negative, so you won't keep aquila up and with all the bees flying around you're going to die. Vault to the blue pack, wait till the blues cluster up then pet->vault in->FoK. Restart when one of the blues doesn't die. The first level has a bunch of elites, but I got to 2nd level as fast as I could. After the blue pack room, head right and then left, I managed to FoK 2 yellows, if you miss, you could grab the conduit and backtrack but I'm not sure it's worth. Second level is decent, just pet+vault into yellow and FoK each yellow you come across. Get the third level as fast as you can, the channeling pylon by 2 yellows helped spawn RG, and I managed to 1 shot him with maybe a dozen stacks/CoE. Keep aquila up with evasive fire, don't hold strafe, mash vault till you don't have discipline, line up your FoK with at least lightning CoE if not Pets.

CoE for more damage really, I wouldn't play firebats unless you have proper support classes that let you sit and spin, and the support classes should have occulus rings already. Hopefully your zmonk buddy will help you along throughout the rift, it's really easy to get stuck with spirit walk on cool down.

I think with no ancient weapons I did a 70 within 5 minutes on Bell monk. Mediocre ancients got me a decent 90 with no augments. With in-geom I can carry 75s in 2-3 minutes, so yeah it's pretty good. While uliana is cool and all, once I got 6 piece SWK I was blasting t13s. It is only a couple gear swaps to farm DBs with sage+LTK as well. E: Vvv your best bet is to use lovely SWK rolled pieces and to convert them in the cube till you get an amulet (20 DBs/souls) GTJustin fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Nov 26, 2017 |

Sagers posted:Bell Monk is squishy but I can make up for it with the Agility Mantra, Epiphany, and the dash that improves dodge. It helps that the DPS is crazy high but I see big differences between using In-geom for quick dashing vs Kyoshiro's blade for DPS i.e. being able to speed through the rift and being able to DPS hard enough that resource isn't an issue. I cheese Bell Monk with avarice+gold wrap. Pop epiphany at the beginning then just zip around. There's one map in particular that has 1 elite every 3 screens, but other than that t13 rift clears are super fast. I didn't find I needed Kyoshiro's blade damage wise up to G75ish, still getting 3 minute clears. Not showing rings but I go with SoJ/Avarice/boon+trapped+zeis for rifts, SoJ/CoE/powerful+trapped+zeis for GRs. https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GTJustin-1969/hero/81006479

Mills posted:This is my first season ever. I have a Sunwuko monk that can do GR95 comfortable enough but seems to not have the DPS to push higher. I'm at a bit of a loss on how to improve the character beyond a few more Caldesanns though it will be nigh on impossible to get a better amulet and rings than my current non-Ancient ones. Is 95 considered high? I'd like to be able to clear a 100. Occy ring on your follower is mandatory, it's a 75-85% dmg buff when you're in the circle. I prefer templar for heals+spirit regen, throw tfury/occy ring/unity/templar token (upgrade yellow tokens from blacksmith till you get an invincibility one). Gear wise I think you're fine, but I would roll your vengeful wind 10% dmg to life per hit. Drop the belt for a witching hour, Kyoshiro's Soul doesn't really do much since you only lose sweeping wind stacks when you don't attack mobs. Just get in the habit of tapping sweeping winds when you enter/leave new levels. I'd start looking for a unity ring on your monk, I think hardcore uses zodiac, softcore can go for more damage.

Mills posted:I took the re-roll costs on that weapon to 5 mio per roll to get the 10% damage, and passed up perfect CDR several times along the way which is what I had thought the alternative was going to be! It's a good idea to check leaderboards for whatever class you're pushing. Ignore the 5000 paragon/120+augments on primal gear, but do take notice of the gear rolls. Life per hit is usually on a fist or bracers for SWK Monk, can't deal damage if you're dead all the time.

5er posted:Don't do Twister on console. Orb is way less frustrating. DMO is frustrating enough as it is on a console version as you can only spawn time bubbles either on yourself directly, or on a targeted enemy. Energy Twister's already unwieldy movement nature makes the Raging Storm rune on just about every dmo twister build out there rather tricky to reliably exploit, and the console's target methodology makes it a headache and a crapshoot to combine tornadoes. Frozen Orb is far more reliable/less stressful. While targeting sucks on console, twister is so broken it doesn't really matter. It's more a game of staying alive and throwing twisters. I put together a tal FO for rifts and GRs to get gear and gems until I had enough DMO pieces and I easily jumped from g70s to g90+ with lousy gear.
