Monk Build For Ghom

[mage32]

lol 20 second kills only got me 50 gph, please tell me how you get even 40 gph with your lightning build

Would you mind sharing your build/itemization for helping us out?

Swapping out sweeping winds to Fire ally, and wearing tal rasha armor (int changed to dex) with andy helm (+holy, +AS) brings me to 22~23 sec kill (max 47gph), but I am not quite sure how I will be able hit the 20 second mark.

someone deleted my other post hehe

well, my furnace is only 6%, i used epiphany+blinding flash dmg capture mostly to burn down the final hp's, i think i used fof, ep: flesh is weak, epi, blinding flash, retribution, and fire ally, then unity, combostrike, fleet and beacon i think.

gearwise i used tyrael, shoulder aughild, bracer fire aughild, rorg, fire soj, belt/pants blackthorn, firewalkers, my mara didnt roll too great, glove/helm cains. if i had a good witching hour i might have used that but i mean couple seconds here and there is ok, i had a 3-4 second remake time. sss might be a good cohice to replace fireally tbh, the idea behind my build was to pop epi after the 2nd flash and burn him before epi ended, but you would need 50% cdr still - otherwise dont flash+epi till >5 seconds in

my fireally would kill him on or just after the 2nd cast so i dont know if that helped either but i think sss might be better since dmg % throughout the fight imo doesnt matter too much, just the burst near the end. hope this might give you some ideas, a fire andys would be a nice choice, then you might use cains gloves/pants and blackthorn belt/boots, but if you had a good witching hour i think i might try that too.

Wow using Epiphany(inner fire) with Blinding flash dmg+ snapshot is the key. (Kudos to koolplay)
Mythic rythm+blinding flash + SSS is also good for finishing ghom off. I am now able to kill him in 20 seconds pretty regularly.

I modified trinity so that
-(Phase 1) run up to him, put EP on him and start pounding with FoF
-(Phase 2) when ghom hits 1.5b HP (about half of his bar), pop blinding flash, than epiphany.
-(Phase 3) when ghom reaches 200M hp, use blinding flash, than use SSS to finish him.

P1->P2 takes around 5 seconds, and P3 happens just before epiphany is about to end. So 20 seconds total.

For those interested,
my passives : combination strike, unity, fleet footed, mythic rythm.
my gear : 7% furnace with socket, dex, CDR. Aughild shoulder+bracer, Andariel helm, inna chest+belt+pants, mara, cain gloves+boots. holy+ on helm, bracer, fire+ on SoJ.

replaced blind with epiphany. casts once when hes at around 40%, so no need for ytar. Not sure how to modify trinity to cast epiphany sooner, but it works for me.

better to use blind with epiphany cause epiphany will use all your dmg buffs and your dmg will stay throughout the duration of epiphany -> you'll have +30% dmg for 15 seconds instead of 3, so something like fireally isnt too useful in a short duration fight. i really like mythic rhythm with sss - i only used beacon cause i would blind a few times and ally twice and didnt really have a good idea for the fourth passive; also depends on what gear you have access to. i didnt have much before but i think i could do a bit better now if i went back to doing ghom. cheers

You could try adding the following near the front part of the monk.cs file: (change the 1.5b to a number you prefer)

if (!UseOOCBuff && CurrentTarget.HitPoints <= 1500000000 && !IsCurrentlyAvoiding && CombatBase.CanCast(SNOPower.X1_Monk_Epiphany, CombatBase.CanCastFlags.NoTimer) )
{
return new TrinityPower(SNOPower.X1_Monk_Epiphany);
}

GetHasBuff(SNOPower.Monk_BlindingFlash) if you want to make sure u have the buff up before epi

so weird duno why my monk casts everything but epiphany and sometimes casts EP when Ghom is at 50%

edit: or when ghom is on 1/10th of the bar he casts Epiphany
