The innate IAS on FoT was decreased by a lot. Crippling Wave and Way of the Hundred Fists remained the same, and Deadly Reach was slightly buffed I believe. The proc coefficients on FoT was also reduced to be more in line with the other generators. The general feeling right now is that all Monk generators/runes are viable, which it kinda feels is true. Some have niches, some are all around good, but you definitely don't HAVE to use FoT anymore.

Thats a neat build, I didn't realize they made retribution actually viable now that overawe was nerfed.
I'll probably switch to something similar, but i really don't like running without serenity since i play HC, so i'd probably swap that out for cyclone strike or lashing tail kick.

It's a shame bells are pretty shitty now outside of having high crit using the 4.5 stun rune with it


edit: I also prefer barrage rune for dashing strike~

If they're windowed just make the one you want to move the active window, then hit Windows Key + Shift + Left or Right arrow.

How do I join the rerolled community? red#1924

Ya, 1 computer, dual monitors. I want to keep WoW up for some things going on, but in downtime, I want to smash mobs in Diablo. lol.

Both are running at 1080p resolution, in Full Screen(Windowed) mode. Sounds like Mist's solution is the easiest, and can just tap it over to the other window where normally my web browser, etc is under. No problems.

If the power leveling is still going, I have a 60 WD and 60 Monk that can help PL people? Haven't watched the videos yet to see what's required to do it.

Yeah, but I feel Crippling Wave has the advantage now. It does 90/180/360 degrees AE, so for generating spirit, as long as you have decent crit, Rising Tide is easily the best. And the Mangle rune's damage is inline with other generators/runes that are just single target.

If anything, replace Sweeping Winds, it's the only part that doesn't "synnergize" with the rest of the build. Cyclone strike is for bunch up baddies, making CW, LSK, and MoR more efficient. Dashing strike is purely for getting around which is why I took the movement speed rune. You dash after finishing off a pack and usually 3s is enough time to make it to the next pack. DS is REALLY useful for getting out of shit fast, usually versus elites with lots of ground effects. Why do you like the barrage rune?

Haven't tried bells yet. If I ever need to drop cyclone strike, I might give it a try with the spirit cost reducer.

I like the Barrage rune because it's badass :p

It didn't feel like any of the spirit generators were single target, but maybe that's because of that new area damage proc. I was always a fan of crippling wave but just felt weak using it, so maybe I'll give it another shot. Mostly addicted to WotHF though, shit is fun.

Those are good points, i'll have to play around with a build to see what I can come up with.
I just like the extra single target dps you get from it on bosses primarily, the movement speed I can see being nice but the teleport alone is good enough for me, so i take the extra damage over the run speed.

It also looks sick, it has that knights of the round animation to it lol

I'll give WotHF another try, but I really hate how different each strike is. FoT's third hit being a split AE is bad enough. Yeah, CW changes too, but it's just wider and wider AE, so you can mostly rely when you use CW, no matter what, it's going to hit a few things.

Looking at the spirit generators again, yeah, you're right, they're almost all AE, which seems like a drawback from a design perspective. FoT - Thunderclap might be single target because thunderclap's AE is so small. But even at that damage, CW - Mangle is just as good, so all FoT - TC gets you is a teleport.

Maybe WotHF - HoL? The extra damage on the second hit averages out to 271% for the whole cycle. But the wording on the rune is weird. Why mention the increase of hits and the increase in damage?



That aside, I'm wondering if MoC - Annihilation is any good. I don't like that looting reduces the amount of time you have sped up, but that + fleet footed + DS - WofFS is a 60% move buff.

The WotHF runes have always had dumb wording. Druin, some big monk on the official forums, likes WotHF - FoF as his favorite generator, but I like HoL a lot. Big numbers yo.

In my fairly limited time running around, I was trying a bunch of different mantras, and they all feel so different than they used to. Overawe still really good from DPS standpoint but lots of viable ones if you need any boost to your defense as well.

So how does quest resetting work? I reset quests, started a new game, everyone got their garaunteed legendary on Skeleton King. Left that game before getting to the end of act 1, joined a new game on the quest I left off on, killed Butcher and didn't get my guaranteed drop, neither did some other people.

Its supposed to be from act bosses only, butcher etc only have a chance. I think the average outside of 100% drops is 1-2 an hour which seems pretty accurate so far.

Finally found an upgrade and I'm lolling @ the proc

it just drops 3 piles of gold. Bigger massacres don't drop more by the looks of it, but this item is hilarious (nice chunk of damage too). Farming scorpions, here I come!

on my playthrough on a fresh wizard i got legendaries on: SK and the 4 main act bosses. I then reset my quests and got another off SK.. i'm going to play through and see if the butcher hooks me up with another one this playthrough.

edit:

I really like that they added shit like ^ above on uniques, it gives them some extra flavor.
I got an offhand last night that made my ray of frost pierce attacks, so i swapped out disintegrate for that + black ice which just rapes everything

Since the new patch broke some of my builds, I was wondering: are you guys just browsing the official forums for build ideas, or do you have a favorite site posting them?

I've been out of the game a while, so I don't know the new hotness.

As people are getting a feel for things, how does old gear compare to new gear?

Had spent about a billion on the AH to gear a WD, and a billion on gearing a Monk. Would I be terrible now? I know builds changed, so that makes a huge difference, I just wasn't sure how a well geared MP10 character before, equals now?

You'll be really well geared still.
