I've change passives to Sixth Sense and Seize the Initiative and used Esoteric Alteration instead of Taeguk, what about you?

I don't do trials, I just run 47-48 and get 52-54 keys at the end.

Taeguk, gogok, trapped
Passives: Harmony, NDE, Beacon of Ytar, Seize and Guardian's Path on Hellfire.

jarrish and nichosi are u guys using restrain and focus as rings or zodiac and unity?

I have tried both, and I prefer focus-restraint with FD

Hey Beardi When you are farming keys, are you using different settings for it or is the settings for the rift just fine for it?

 

[nichosi]

Taeguk, gogok, trapped
Passives: Harmony, NDE, Beacon of Ytar, Seize and Guardian's Path on Hellfire.

I don't know, using Taeguk leads to WAY more death-count, and losing time on resurrect. And why Guardian Path, it gives nothing with FD?

Focus-Restraint. Zodiac-build just not working for me: less dps, WAY less survivability (losing dex/vit stats on chest and rings). Maybe I need FD with vitality to make it work.

 

[zept0r]

Well if u use unity and zodiac u have ALOT of survivability!
Im just lacking damage I finish a 50 with like 1-2min left without an death but for 51 im already lacking damage -.-
using FD with the double wield build and zodiac with unity.

Taeguk is a BIG buff in DPS and survivability, it stacks a good amount of armour with ~80 charges. Guardian's Path gives +15% spirit regen with two handed. More spirit = more dashes

I tried that combo with very good gear and as you said, it lacks damage. I think you can't pass 52GR with that setup.

But the problem with focus and restraint i seem to lack thoughness and die way too often

For those of you who like to experiment, there is interesting Sunwuko build which is kinda working with bot:
NEW 55+(60 capable?) Sunwukos Innsanity. (The best alternative to Raiment) - Monk - Diablo III Builds - Diablo Fans

I believe it will need some tweaking in Trinity too:
— too many Exploding Palms,
— not smart spirit management,
—*need to find big clusters of mobs instead of fighting 2-4 and losing time

but i've tried it with random items from my inventory (not optimized at all).

47 on a first try, I think it is viable. In high density rifts it has nice potential.

Downside of this build is that you literally can't kill rift boss who doesn't spawn adds (trash).
The author of this build said he did 55 with it.

I've not done any testing for EP builds due to the fact that the correct mobs need to be attacked, and density is very important. But if I ever get a decent fist for it I'll give it a go.

How does the new Quin69 - [UPDATE] GR60+ Fire Dash Monk - Monk - Diablo III Builds - Diablo Fans works with this setup? anyone tried it out?

Any FD/DW build based on dashing works well with this trinity, so have a play around

Did u have the time to check it by now?

I still haven't, I've been upgrading my computer over the past couple days so not had time to do it. Also ran the Keywarden profile overnight and it wasn't doing A4 keys so don't know what's going on there. But I will get back to you on it It should work fine just give it a go if you need organs. But if you have some time to do it manually then I'd suggest doing it with an Ubers Community, so that you get 4x the amount of organs from your keys.

What build do u use for trials?

I use a modified FD build for maximum dps (survivability not an issue in Trials), just with a replaced belt and passives.

I can get 51/52 keys from Trials but normally I run up to wave 8 and leave so I get more GR's from Rift Frags as bounties suck at the moment

Hey Beardi When you are farming keys, are you using different settings for it or is the settings for the rift just fine for it?

I use the same settings for everything pretty much apart from Trash Mob Count is 1 for Bounties, 3 for everything else.

Less dps yeah, but with around 4000 vit you should have no issues with Survivability due to perma Epiphany/BoH.

Sorry I've been MIA for the past day or two, pc upgrade and work.

Well, from my observations, DPS is not the issue at 53-54, but survivability is. Thats why Taeguk is not an option: it rarely stacks with dual-wield build (maybe works well with fire-FD build, i didn't test enough). With Esoteric and Sixth Sense I've done 53, just because bot was alive most of the time. By the way, I have 2 hellfires, 20cold/dex/cd and dex/cc/cd and as I see, 20 cold is equivalent to 10cc in damage. So any upgrade is 20cold/cc/cd which is VERY hard to get (

I don't have any spirit regen items and neither from passives/skills, so why should I multiply zero on 15%?

Should never use Taeguk with DW, it cannot keep stacks in between mobs well enough. With FD it has max stacks most of the time. Which is 25%+ dps and armor depending on your gem level.

Its not regen, its 15% more generated from all sources (epiph/BoH/quickening).

Well beardi, im using ur latest Trinity but somehow Im still loosing my teaguk stacks like all the time even with charges left for DS!
