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

[beardi]

Aboout Cindercoat...i never saw it drop as monk...

I've had about 50 drop for me, but I was gambling Chest Armor for ages, so yeah it does drop quite often if you do that

Ive been using your 291 version with FD for 40 minutes. A lot more consistent and way more surv with it.

The only thing its sitting for a few secs at the spirit cap and not using dash it seems... ill keep on watching

291.1.00? Yeah I do think it's an improvement, as stated I just had a little play earlier I'll have another look later.
I'll check the issue you've pointed out, any chance that's happening around AOEs or some other movement priority? Also check your TPS when it happens see if it's dropping. Let me know

I found one, and its pretty decent I guess?!

Prolly should reroll the "Reißender Wind(dno english word)" to sockets right?

By now I got 2 normal FD's, where the fk is my ancient one.

Yeah I would suggest rerolling the % to Sockets unless it's Dash? I don't speak German haha. But otherwise it looks quite nice (not as good as mine of course muahahah but I was lucky getting Fire/Dex/Dash/Sockets Ancient with near max stats.

As for the FD it's totally random (as you know!) But you'll get one eventually. I do need a new one but I'm not done gambling for Physical Resist boots yet (almost all other slots have 200+ Phys Res).

Adding some kind of keep-stack-alive on the Taeguk would be really awsome in an allready awesome monk-fork

Thank you for your work on this!

DPS: 1040k
Tough: 33.5m
Recovery: 4.6m

Not sure what the issue is, what's your HP? Only difference I can see is I have about 13% recovery compared to your 9%, but I don't think that should be that much of a disparity.

What are the ranks of your gems? And do you have physical resist stacked as high as you can get it (I'm at 1.8k currently).

Hp is fine then, yeah the Taeguk will help massively

hows your merc set up gear wise, i have found that the new dagger Eun-Jang-Do works really well, ive got a ancient one that i use and he litterally freezes the RG for the last 20% of its life
also i find that molten is what is really hurting

damn i found another issue is there any way to stop this crap

The latest version is definately an improvement. One issue though i noticed is that he somehow prioritizes all pets spawned by rift guardians. Just fought a Bone Warlock and he killed every single skeleton before he went back to doing damage to the RG. Same thing with that poison boss and his little blobs... I did a GR49 with FD in a little over 11 minutes, but the rift wasnt too good and i lost at least 1-2 minutes due to killing spawned skeletons while doing 0 dmg to the RG. I tried a trinity setup, which isnt that bad, but zodiac is probably better if you do less/no mistakes.

 

[morgoth_nhl]

So for farming 40- 49s grs.. The monk it's much faster than the barb? And if so whats the best build of the monk atm?.

 

[Angusm]

One importat thing to remember is that monks are extremely dependent on what kind of mobs you face in the GR ... Sometimes when i feel im getting a lot of bad draws, i replace gogok for the Aesoteric gem (Both lvl 50)

And also dont forget to stack as much physical resist as you can

The String of Ears belt is really importat as well

Beardi, thanks for the nice changes in the trinitiy, dualwield i completed 53grift yesterday, sadly just 30 seconds beyond the limit
just a little bit of gear upgrade, or some luck and i can bot a 53

 

[jarrish]

Tested the FD build for two days, and Im capped at 53 too, just like dual wielding

Stats:
DPS: 1.4M
Toughness: 33M (low phys resis still, ~1.2K)
Recovery: 3.8M
HP: Almost 700K

Level 57-58 gems

Hey Beardi

When doing Bounties, what difficulty do you recommend doing it on?

 

[komor84]

any1 know how to avoid this fat bastards what blow and left 3 worms ?? most of the time i die on them :X
Any idea how to run away when they blow ?

I also have that dagger, i'm not sure which I prefer, that or the Azurewrath, but both are good

As for the Trinity exceptions I've not had any of those issues, what version of DB are you using?

The latest version is definately an improvement. One issue though i noticed is that he somehow prioritizes all pets spawned by rift guardians. Just fought a Bone Warlock and he killed every single skeleton before he went back to doing damage to the RG. Same thing with that poison boss and his little blobs...

I tried a trinity setup, which isnt that bad, but zodiac is probably better if you do less/no mistakes.

Yeah this has been an issue with Trinity for a while. Will have a look today and try sort it out.

So for farming 40- 49s grs.. The monk it's much faster than the barb? And if so whats the best build of the monk atm?.

I cannot state that it's faster than a Barb because I've never rolled one, but it is at least the same speed I think? Any build that I've linked in the first post will get you fast clear times.

Good advice SoE and Phys res does help massively.
I did try out Esoteric instead of Gogok but the attack speed/cdr loss wasn't worth it IMO, 100% Epiphany is super important for FD.

No problem mate, glad you're reaching the same levels as some of the others! IMO I think 54/55 will be the maximum for the bot simply due to needing to skip mobs/elites that are not worth it to get the correct progression.

Damn that DPS I need a better FD lol. Nice work though keep us updated with higher pushes. I was thinking of using an EP build for trails to get some GR60/65 Keys then doing full Toughness runs to get gems to rank 65+, I think the dps increase would get us past 53.

Hey Beardi

When doing Bounties, what difficulty do you recommend doing it on?

I always do bounties on T6 because the Act specific horadric cache bounties are 100% drop chance then. And finding the perfect RoRG is difficult.

any1 know how to avoid this fat bastards what blow and left 3 worms ?? most of the time i die on them :X
Any idea how to run away when they blow ?

In Trinity>Combat>Monk look for the Grotesque avoidance and turn it to 100% hp. Doesn't always move out of it but does help a little

 

[quel]

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?
