This is my Demonbuddy Tempest Rush monk. It produces the highest IPH, exp, and GPH of any other build that I have tried. It is still a work in progress but wanted to make some kind of guide for it since a few people have asked me about it.
I have been trying to get this to work and thought what I have gotten to work best for me
Let's start with the build.
Passives
Notice the lack of defensive specs. This is more of a glass cannonish monk build meant to be run at MP0.
Gear
This is the gear specs you want to hit at a defensive minimum
400 resistance, 4000 armor, and 40,000 HP
You also need a full Inna set, a SOJ, and a Skorn. I recommend having a min of 12 pickup radius, 10K health globe bonus, and 500+ life after kill.
Let's break down the Inna set first.
Inna's Radiance: (2 random rolls) You have to get spirit regen on the helm. I would not get anything below 1.9. For the other stats get either Armor, pickup radius, or health globe bonus. With Dex/vit rolls in the range of 160 dex and 65 vit.
Inna's Vast Expanse: (1 random roll). Similar to Radiance shoot for 160/65 with the random roll either being Armor, pickup radius, or health globe bonus.
Inna's Favor: (1 random roll). Recommend buying with 80 vit
Inna's Temperance: (1 random roll). Good spot to get pickup radius. Get the 8% IAS not the 9%
Stone of Jordan: Need 25% bonus to elite and 2 spirit regen. The actual bonus doesn't matter
So you have 5 pieces of your gear and yet to get any All Res yet. A good place to get it cheaply is the IK 2 piece set.
Immortal King's Stride - Get one with 180+ dex roll.
Immortal King's Irons - They make up the other half of the set. Get 170 dex and 55+ All Res rolls. I picked up the boots and gloves for 5M combined. You should be near 200 all res just on these 2 pieces of gear
With the remaining four pieces (ring, shoulders, amulet, and bracers) try to fill in your missing stats that you need. (Pickup radius, life on kill, dex/vit, all res, crit chance, crit dmg)
Get the best Skorn you can afford with no IAS on it. Good spot to get 200+ vit.

This build is still a work in progress but I am hitting 40M exp, 700 IPH, and 700 GPH with this setup. I am running Revenge 2.2 but also have a Tempest Rush monk profile in mind. Just trying to sort out the best area's.

Highly recommend Templar for additional Spirit Regen
Profile
Wrote up a new profile up. It is really straight forward. Goes from FoS WP to Siege to Crater 1 to ToD 1 to ToD 2 to HoD to Crater 2 to Cursed 1 to Cursed 2
Putting up some sick IPH with it
Added Keep 3 at start of Run. It will also do half of Skycrown and if it has 5 NV stacks it will TP out. If it doesn't it will finish the Skycrown run. Keep 3 is great place to get stacks quickly.

Let's start with the build.

- Fist of Thunder - Quickening: As much as I wanted to rely simply on spirit regen with no spirit generators you have to have one. DB simply breaks down without one. From destroying barricades and killing solo enemies. So I choose the one with the highest spirit regen.
- Tempest Rush - Tailwind: What the build is all about that 25% extra movement speed
- Serenity: Ascension: Your main defense against reflect packs. Even if rarely used feels like a must
- Sweeping Wind - Inner Storm: Helps with your spirit regen
- Wave of Light - Empowered Wave: Best dmg to spirit cost
- Mantra of Conviction: Submission - Does an excellent job once you get your dps over 100K for killing white mobs instantly at MP0
Passives
- The Guardian's Path - 35% to spirit regen is must
- Exalted Soul - To boost regen by 1 and more importantly give you a large spirit reserve.
- Fleet Footed - To really make you as fast as possible. So you are at 34% MS base and another 25% from Tempest Rush.
