Glad that the build is working well for both of you! I'm trying out a new (ish) build with Flying Dragon trying to get it to work well but with Fuji or 2.9.1 I cant get it to go well, anyway I'll try again tomorrow after my exam HF
Hey. With normal Trinity the bot logic is retarded
Could you tell me how to run it with Fuji? When I try to use Fuji it gives me several erros when bot start up and I cant even configure it...

Fuji's logic is more retarded lol, it literally dashes all over the shop, however it does do better than 2.9.1! But if you want it to work you need DemonBuddy V1.1.2273.404 then use this link:
Code:

Cleared a 52 with almost perfect gear in season... I think that's the bot limit. I will try some FD builds, like Fluffy Flying Flaming Fire Fists - GR59+ - Monk - Diablo III Builds - Diablo Fans

Aye mine clears about half of 52's it enters within the time limit, did some testing earlier too. Bot logic is too bad for any viable FD builds to really work without a hell of a lot of re-coding. But might give it a go
Makes me want to make a monk to bot, but I am still working on botting my barb hes still missing ancient IK 2h. also I have no room for a monk to create without deleting another character sooo I might just wait until S4 then bot barb/monk equally and see how it goes.
edit - forgot to mention, when my Dh came across a set of 8CDR% f/r rings, i thought, hmmm a DH is never going to need CDR so these are pretty useless but who knows, maybe just maybe i can reroll the mainstat off and become useful for another class that does use it. And then I realized about monk, now I know I have a perfect set of f/r rings waiting for this =) Raiment will be a pain, but I will just bot grifts, 250 shards a pop save up to 700+ and swap to monk to gamble. Need to find out what I am deleting though.

Unfortunatley due to the update of Diablo we can no longer use Fuji unless he re-writes it
Got my monk up and running, Has misc pieces but no raiment yet and no decent weapons as I only ran him through like 3 rifts and got what I could. Pulled my spirit guards + CDR f/r rings out of stash, a dex WH and ammy with dex cc chd socket. Guess from here I have to play my barb and stock up shards to gamble with. Just wondering what the best route is, I already spent about 2k, and so far got inna gloves, crudest boots, fan of knives shoulders, minds eye helm etc. soon as i got a leg/set item gambled in that slot i moved on to the next just so I could have the chance at something playable pre raiment instead of wearing rares.
But I assume I will be stuck gambling for raiment and using what, crafted utars roar weapon and whatever else I find until full raiment set? The gear guide is pretty straight forward, I am just curious about the weapons more so. In-Geom is a must for t6 speed? Ill have to re-read the first page again when I get some more gear. Weapons will be a pain which is why I ask, because I know I can gamble a full raiment set, but gambling specific weapons without running quick grifts/rifts on the monk will be hard.

Raiment's isn't that hard to find, and as you say you have the rest.
In-Geom seriously speeds up T6 farming, and lower GR clear speeds too, usually use mine up to about GR45.
As for weapons. Any 1h with CDR for main hand and LOH+CDR for offhand is fine. The one's posted are just preferable due to the massive boost that Pig Sticker gives to dps versus many mobs. (I did write that in the Builds/Gear section regarding weapons
)

i basically have the exact same setup and items except for the bracer, but i am having extreme difficulty killing the guardians. im stuck around 45 as my monk keeps dying to the rift guardian and leaving the game after getting 0 durability. strange.

If you don't have spirit guards then you can use Ancient Parthan Defenders. Swap out Way of a Hundred Fists for Crippling Wave - Tsunami and it should work.
But the 40% Reduction from Spirit Guards is pretty much priceless unless you're running Tsunami. Just gamble bracers wont take long to get them.
Unfortunately for me, of the couple In-Geoms I found on my barb, I salvaged them all because I saw no need for them aside from transmog. So I have 5 pieces of raiment so far, missing boots and 2 decent weapons at the moment. I am hoping to find even a str in-geom while botting my barb grifts for shards to gamble the last of my raiment, Otherwise I will just test out speed T6 runs and such on monk and make do without it. A lot of people have said its make or break the build, but I think it can still work it just won't be as fast. At this point I would be fine using a str in-geom or str rerolled in-geom to dex. I do plan on getting an ancient Envious Dagger, my friend had one and was raping the hell out of stuff very quick with the env/geom combo.
Gambling the boots and helm have been the most annoying so far. I have had literally 6 crudest boots, 4 boj anglers, 4 fire walkers, some blackthornes, and helms my failed attempts were such as innas, bezoars, other misc crappy leg stones. My shoulders did roll ancient as did gloves, but shoulders rolled with dex vita allres dashing strike%dmg - and gloves rolled dex vita allres 9% CC. Which I mean kinda sucks cuz secondary resist is what you want for harmony. I rerolled the allres off gloves into 50%CHD first try im sitting at 50% CDR, 559% CHD and like 44.5% CC so I may swap things around if I need to. I just have to see how the bot plays with this build.
You uploaded your monk combat.cs file, what did you change in it?

thanks for the reply. was i not suppose to take fist of thunder - quickening? i had that on as it said so on the build link, but you said to swap it out from way of hundred fists. anyway, is it possible to benefit from the ancient parthan defenders unique passive with crippling wave/ it says it reduces dmg based on stunned enemies, not frozen enemies. it is quite confusing, so i am just making sure. thanks again!

In-Geom isn't make or break, to be honest it probably only improves speed by 20-30%, and given that it doesn't take more than a couple minutes per Rift anyway who cares, so I wouldn't rely on that, but once you get one its MMMM YAY
And yeah Envious Blade would be nice too, but past a certain stage everything in T6 is 1shot anyway so the bonus CC is negligible imo.Once you have Raiment I can't stress how important it is to have CDR on every available slot really; gloves, shoulders, both rings, both weapons - to a lesser extent the belt and amulet are the ones that you can mess about with.
Few notes:
Non-ancient shoulders with CDR/RRC/Dex/Dash% is better than Ancient with 3 of them.
Gloves CDR/CHD/CC/Dex also. Don't be too bothered about sheet dps, you'll be battering everything anyway at 1m+.
The monk.cs I just added the fuji code to stop it Dashing till 0 charges which 2.9.1 seems to do all the time. I've just re-uploaded a minor tweak for higher GR's which fixes Inner Sanctuary not being cast often enough, and some other minor things to do with skill activation. Nothing major though
Yeah I know the skill guide says that but the SG are just there for the 30-40% Damage reduction at all times, if you don't have those then you'd need another source of damage mitigation and the APD work just as well provided you have a CC that procs it. I know the tooltip says stunned but frozen also works
So yeah Crippling Wave is the best method to AOE freeze until you get SG

So plan worked, I just snagged myself a str ingeom 2.3k dps with 8%dmg roll and area dmg. only 8 seconds on affix but whatever. now the question is pretty obvious i guess, reroll area dmg to 10% CDR, gift it and run with it as a str weapon. Now I can probably bot with 6pc raiment soon as i get my helm, and be almost as quick as my barb(barb does grift 35s in roughly 2 minutes, and can do grift 40-44s in 4 minutes with 6pc wastes 4pc IK set) but it seems like monk will be the fastest, if not equal. Barb is very simple to play though, its basically WW spam. Ill have to adapt to manual monk play when I take over. But assuming I set all your settings right, I should be good for speed t6 rifts + grifting up to atleast 35 quickly? Only reason I ask again is because I don't really care yet if im doing 30s or 45s or 50s I want to take the gear I have on my monk now, and upgrade it some before I try and do higher end stuff since a lot of is first pick gambled items. Once I get botting as a monk ill have more item selections.
