For lower Rifts, it may be more viable for use of Bane of the Trapped due to the damage all being in melee range for the build, but for higher Rifts and pushing the Bane of the Stricken is definitely the way to go with suitable attack speed.įor Bracers, Nemesis Bracers work for speedrunning as usual, though for higher Rifts the use of Spirit Guards would be a better option. Legendary Gems work on sheer damage maximization for Way of the Hundred Fists, Bane of the Stricken taking advantage of all the piled on attack speed to improve damage against enemies, Gogok of Swiftness adding more attack speed, dodge chance and cooldown reduction while attacking, and Simplicity's Strength granting further damage for Way of the Hundred Fists while granting a 4% heal on every use, which combined with all that attack speed makes it a reliable healing source. For Rings, Convection of Elements is a solid choice as the skills and any variant of the runes on Dashing Strike all would guarantee use at least 4 of the 5 elements the Monk uses, and Unity adds flat damage 50% damage reduction, though it would be swapped with the Compass Rose if using Traveler's Pledge.

Traveler's Pledge is a more viable option for offense as the build's improved use and reliance on Dashing Strike for mobility makes better use of the stationary damage bonus, at the offset of less use of the mobile damage reduction. All secondary priority affixes should focus on Spirit generation or maximum Spirit total.įor Amulets a Hellfire Amulet gives maximized utility, either a defensive passive like Harmony or an offensive passive like Momentum, whereas Holy Beacon works to give a flat improvement to Spirit generation. Your Spirit Generators generate 40 - 50% more Spirit.įull 6 piece Raiment of a Thousand Storms class set, with a Diamond in the Helm, all Emeralds in the Torso, and either all Emeralds in the Legs for offense or all Diamonds for elemental resistance. When reaching maximum Spirit, all damage is increased by 150%, but you no longer passively regenerate Spirit and 65 Spirit is drained every second until you run out of Spirit. ( 2) Set: When reaching maximum Spirit, all damage is increased by 1.5%, but you no longer passively regenerate Spirit and 65 Spirit is drained every second until you run out of Spirit.
