This strategy is highly recommended for NON SEASONAL group play, especially given the declining role of the Z-monk over the past couple years. As far as I'm concerned, it is these types of discoveries that keep me coming back (it is quite an ancient game after all). % more damaging to elites than it already is (which is considerable), so if you put together the right gear and get your timing right, I think you'll be quite impressed. The chief takeaway for me is that the Stone of Jordan makes the COE cold cycle up to 30 (over 50% CDR + over 40% RCR at a minimum). This setup also adds a 30% boost against the RG, which might make the difference if the timer gets down to the wire.Īlso consider swapping Seize the Initiative skill for Momentum if you can roll really high CDR/RCR. Serenity ascension provides 4 seconds of invulnerability so you can drop your COE cold cycle nuke without dying and this is very effective at 'sealing the deal' to end a fight a half minute or so before it would have otherwise. If your group is fighting a large mob of elites for long they will start spamming lasers, lightning and other deadly countermeasures. Since this build focuses on Elites you really want to take 'Serenity', ascension. Add the 8% Elite Dmg bonus to one (or both) or your one handed weapons to get up to +46% Elite Dmg with these items but in all honesty this is difficult without tons of RCR which will cost you CDR, which is non optimal IMO. In a group, progression is almost always faster when focusing on elite packs and ignoring trash. I recently switched out my Ring of the Zodiac for a Stone of Jordan to get the +30% damage bonus against Elites and it paid off hugely for group play since most decent groups don't usually bother with trash. Cooldown reduction and resource cost reduction are critical for this build to stay ahead of the curve whilst in a group. Reduces the number of items needed for set bonuses by 1 (to a minimum of 2).Īll Gear (accumulated over many many hours of playing) can be seen at. Stat Priority: CHC CHD Dex Physical Res.Stat Priority: Dex AR CDR Reduced Resource Cost.Hitting with Tempest Rush will activate Cyclone Strike, and both skills deal 500 - 600% increased damage. Lightning skills deal 15 - 25% more damage.
