[Guide] Everything about Season 3 Monk Botting from T6-GR51+

[beardi]

Thanks for the reply Now that i just hit 70 today and is a little over 200 paragon, what would you recommend if I'm still gearing?

Yeah crafted sets would be your best bet, then probably farm 100-200 rift fragments, do all the normal rifts on whatever torment you can, and obviously increase the torment as you gear up. You should have full raiment by the end of all those normal rifts, then do all the trials, then do all the GR's upgrading the keystones until you hit close to the highest GR you think you can clear. Then upgrade gems till you run out and then it's just a grind fest

As for builds, it really depends on what gear you have at the moment, if there's any legendary synergies you can use then obviously a skillset that utilizes that would be best. Check out Diablo III Builds - Diablo Fans for some builds for T6, that should be your first hurdle to overcome lol.

Craft for start mate
Beardi
What items you got and skills ?bc my monk looks like got cap max 42 GR :X what piss me off ;P can you copy for us your item List to pick up please?

DPS: 1.2ml
T: 23 unbuff
reg... 800k:X
With DF and
Dual wired
DPS: 900k
T: 45 un buff
regen: 2.5mil
and 890k HP will give test now for that
SO far dual weapon work better then DF
300mil T on buff ...

Dual Wield works better for mid GR's FD really shines at 50+.

I have the items in both builds (every slot) not quite rolled perfectly but close too it. You have too much hp, 600k is enough to clear GR60

For the DF build you want ideally 10% or higher Rec, because that's the source of all survivability. Same for DW, aim for around 10% of your toughness in Rec.

String of Ears helps hugely with both builds, make sure you've levelled up your gems as high as you can get them.

This is my item list:

Note: Have a look through it, some of the items need to be changed if you are still gearing up. I'm just looking for endgame gear really.

Just trying to go through things to find a fix for the trash attacking at RG's.

The issue I've found is not actually the weighting, but that they are considered as IsBossOrEliteRareUnique in the cache, so they get the same weighting as RG's (50000). Been trying to find out where/how I can update this but having issues =/.

Yeah, i kinda expected that they count as elite. They need to be weighed differently but im not too deep into the trinity code as of now.

The biggest problem i have at the moment in GR 50+ is arcane torrents. Bot just permadies in that stuff, so one unfortunate Champion and the whole rift is done. A good immunity amu might help, or how do you deal with it ? I tried FD with unity, which isnt actually that bad. Think i might give it a try at 50+ for some hours. I think Champion packs should generally be skipped at 50+, they are not worth the hassle.

I only started botting monk a few days ago, slowly making my way up the riftladder. Done several GR50 today in time, will try some 51's later. This guide was definately an awesome help so far, so thanks!

 

[zept0r]

Yea, the guide is an awsome help, just need damn better items.
Is there any "good way" to farm items?
Currently im Doin T6 portals for trail key then do a 37-39 which gets updated and if its updated to max 44 the bot will do it afterwards so its t6 trail -> 39~ -> 44~
Any better way to get maybe faster better items? or is it just me that needs to praise the lord rngus for more better items?

I've messaged rrrix to see if he can shed some light on it. So hopefully I should have a fix within a day or two .

Arcane is an issue indeed, but only really in tight maps. I have found no work-around for the issue though as the loss from the extra passive on a Hellfire is not worth having Arcane Immunity imo, but if you don't have a hellfire or eye of elitch then you could use it. But basically have to accept that it might die horribly to Arcane. I don't seem to have much of an issue with it unless I'm standing directly on the center of the beam.. As long as it's dashing it can outheal the damage (mostly) lol.

Do not use FD + Unity for higher GR's unless you don't have the Zodiac ring. The uptime loss on epiphany is not worth it, and you're basically sacrificing 50% damage reduction + crazy cooldowns on BoH/BF for 75% damage reduction but terrible cooldowns, meaning less spirit regen, less damage buffs, less dashes = gimping damage by a hell of a lot. For a comparatively small survivability boost.

My motto with this build, and botting monks in general is to maximise DPS and toughness comes in second, even if you die 5 times at GR52 if you still clear it it doesn't matter

That's pretty much the only way to do it, make sure you have a gambling plugin enabled and it shouldn't take 'too' long to gear up Although pray to RNG for a nice ancient FD

How do u do Kadala then?
Do u gamble one item till u get a satisfying one and then do the next or do you enable like 3 items which u need to upgrade so it buys like braces, shoulders and gloves at the same time ?

 

[KleinerSchlumpf]

That doesn't matter. I personally prefer to gamble one item at a time and go on to the next one if it's perfect.

Actually I'm trying to get good shoulders... 3rd full day now, 30+ Mantle of the Upside Down Sinners, all rolled shitty. Kadala is a b'tch :>

...I'm on 40+ with decent gear but 20+ deaths/hour because I'm dying HORRIBLY to exploding elites / arcane. It seems like he is running away "a little" from the explosions but just in the millisecond it explodes he runs directly into it. Looks like suicide, lol.

 

[zept0r]

Im doin up to 43's atm with 2 deaths/hr, also tryin to get good Shoudlers atm.

 

[ridiculouz]

Thank you for your effort!
I'm using Fire DS build with Flying Dragon Trinity now, seems working fine right now.
There is one problem though, it seems that my bot keeps spending all the stacks of DS rather than always saving one of it.
Any suggestion to improve it?

You must have mesed something up, mine always saves one!

Dang just gambled an Ourobouros Ancient Neck with /10% CHC /100% CHD /970 Dex / 7% melee reduction dmg

Dont think my hellfire can compete

 

[TarasBulba]

Hey man, this just works great, thanks a lot.

Could you please add a build for high level solo trials?

Thanks

 

[komor84]

Did you skip elites on 51 GR? they hard to kill ...

I generally do one at a time, but it's up to you

Hmm, that really shouldn't be an issue at that GR, what's your res/hp/damage reduction like?

Im doin up to 43's atm with 2 deaths/hr, also tryin to get good Shoudlers atm.

Shoulders took me ages to get, DON'T have ancient only ticked. It will take you forever or a hell of a lot of luck to get an ancient with 3 of CDR/RRC/Dash%/Dex. I have a non ancient one with 8/8/15 which is LOVELY

If it's having problems with losing dashes sometimes then it's most likely because your RRC isn't as low as mine. Search for:

if (Sets.ThousandStorms.IsSecondBonusActive && Legendary.FlyingDragon.IsEquipped &&                    (
                        (Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.Charges > 1 && (Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.TimeSinceUse > [COLOR=#ff0000]125[/COLOR] || CacheData.Buffs.HasCastingShrine)) || 
                        (Player.PrimaryResource > 250 && Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.Charges > 0 && (Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.TimeSinceUse > [COLOR=#ff0000]125[/COLOR] || CacheData.Buffs.HasCastingShrine)) ||
                        (Player.PrimaryResource > 150 && Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.Charges > 0 && (Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.TimeSinceUse > [COLOR=#ff0000]250[/COLOR] || CacheData.Buffs.HasCastingShrine)) || 
                        (Player.PrimaryResource > 75 && Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.Charges > 0 && (Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.TimeSinceUse > [COLOR=#ff0000]500[/COLOR] || CacheData.Buffs.HasCastingShrine)) || 
                        (CacheData.Buffs.HasCastingShrine && Skills.Monk.DashingStrike.Charges > 0)

And add 25 or 50 to each of the wait timers in red. I reduced them a little because I was at full spirit most of the time, and some others reported the same issue. It was originally 150/150/300/550 so try that out

You must have mesed something up, mine always saves one!

You probably have around the same RRC as me then 40% + 29% on chest or something like that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OT: I was going to look at the code this afternoon and address some of the issues but I was called into work. Will see if I can get at least some of it done tomorrow.

Roll a better hellfire then 20% Fire/CC/Dex with a good passive > that Ourubos

Trials? I've not tested them as of yet, I will look into it for you tomorrow

Did you skip elites on 51 GR? they hard to kill ...

I don't skip them no, some are much worse than others but the skipping doesn't work properly so I don't use it. If I can add some better behavior to it, (if elites within 50 yards then use dash until elites are over 100 yards away or something) to try to replicate how we would do it manually, I'll implement it in the next version of Trinity that I upload.

If anyone fancies having a go at any of my To Do list (posted on the previous page of this thread) then it would be greatly appreciated. Even if you have some ideas on how to do some of the more tricky stuff just send me a pm

PS: Multiquote sucks it only lets you do 5 replies

 

[apollogg]

Can we set the weighting of elites/rare/uniques to zero or a very lower level than trash to force DB to ignore them? I think we can push to 54 or 55 if we completely skip all the elites/rare/uniques.

 

[dzn1949]

The server may not be suitable for China, because China's DB version is different.
Probably so.

 

[epistane8]

Skipping yellows would be nice or yellow's minions

 

[zept0r]

nvm fixed it ^^

 

[gexstar]

I cant find the to do list...
