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

[apollogg]

Right; 1.01 Added with the following changes:
I know that's probably all jargon but basically;

• Taeguk should rarely drop unless it is unavoidable (no spirit).
• RG's will be prioritized over the trash they spawn.

Please let me know all the feedback you have, good or bad. And I will look to improve in the next version .

PS: I've noticed it does lose all dash charges very rarely, it happens when the 'OOC' cast and the combat cast happen simultaneously at low spirit; I'm working on a fix to this at the moment. However I have been getting GR52 clears with 3-4 minutes spare using this Trinity. And a crappy FD (under 4k damage), so should be good for you too

very excellent improvement.
Could you please contact the DB developer and let them employ your modifications to Monk?

So is FD build more preferrable now, should I farm for fire hellfire amu then?

As for 2-wield build, Rimeheart is very nice in pair with Azurewrath, I'm not sure how much DPS it adds, but 10k weapon damage on Frozen sounds like huge.

which is the highest GR of your monk?
I can only push up to GR49 with dual wield cold dashing with Pig sticker and jawbreaker.

Is it impossible to ignore elites/rares in GR? The setting in Trinity doesn't work

 

[nichosi]

Completed 50, didn't try much of 51.
And my gear is faaar away from optimal, non-ancient like half of items, hellfire amulet cold/dex/cd (no cc).
As I remember, I changed Relentless Asssault to Sixth Sense for even more tanking, like 55+ toughness unbuffed.
Can't find good Azurewrath, mine is 2500 dps with 15 cold.
But still, 50 was pretty easy.

As for FD build, I don't have fire-hellfire so I use good Mara amulet, but still I can't complete even 50 with it, too many deaths.

 

[beardi]

so just to be sure i just need to LD the new 2.91.01 and delete my CompiledAssemblies and replace the current trinity with the new one from the zip i dl, i donth ave to change any setting right ?

Correct, the settings stay the same

I still think they are about the same, the difference is marginal between them and some rifts will be better/worse for each build. But FD is the best build to gear up for if you plan on manually doing any rift pushing.

Rimeheart is ok but losing 30% dps from a pig sticker is not really an option for the equivalent of 1 extra dash (10k vs 12.5k damage) every 10th hit =/

@Beardi cloud you share your gear with us ?
If you no mind ofc

I can't share my exact gear with you, but I run with 1050k Dps and 33m toughness. Same items as in the FD guide most rolled near perfect except the FD, I only have a 3987 dps one

Currently it doesn't work correctly, it's on my to do list to fix for the next version.

Once you gear up a little things get way easier, I don't die in GR's unless I get mobbed by Arcane in tight maps really (with FD)

 

[komor84]

I happy with mine doing GR46 all night sometimes if elite are sh1t then you die but need more CDR :X

 

[roflccopter123]

what do u suggest doing to get gear on a fresh 70 monk (bottable)

You'll get there with better gear don't worry

what do u suggest doing to get gear on a fresh 70 monk (bottable)

Personally I did bounties for the first day or 2 slowly increasing to T6 when I could. Any build that works for you is fine until you've got the Raiment set. Then just run Rifts, then trials, then Greaters and it should be fine

Ehm, how do I lose 30% dps, I don't understand? I lose like 1 additional roll on weapon (lets say, +10%dmg), what else?
Rimeheart is 2700 dps with LoH and CDR so kinda hard to find better weapon (

Pig sticker rolls with up to 30%dmg to human/beasts as secondary affixes

Yeah the 30% bonus Vs Beasts/Humans cannot be beaten, and you can roll it with LOH + CDR at 2700-2800 dps

I dont get why everytime I test your updates I actually get worst performance and I end up sticking with version I made myself.

The biggest issue I have is when the dash charges hit 0 and I just die.

What ping do you play with?

 

[beardi]

Humm, which build are you using? My mods are mostly for FD. And I've noted an improvement my end anyway. Mind PMing me your trinity and I'll have a look? Or is it the original one you uploaded with Fuji's mods? If it is indeed better then I'll combine the best of both for a new release.

Seen Edit: You shouldn't hit 0 charges at any point. I've been watching mine for the past few hours and it hasn't once lost all of them.

 

[Artega]

I edited again regarding the ping.

I do hit 0 quite often which is the main reason i switch back to my own edit. It was base on one of my uploads I can't rememeber which but at the same time I do make updates for performance increase from time to time. I've actually always been using FD. Not a fan of dw and never got a decent set of weapons for it either lol.

 

[gerardmenvusat]

Currently using DB BEta 527 and YAR, working all fine for the moment !

About bounties, do you run Zerg or not ? and which difficulty is the most efficient for rift keys farming ?

No probs My ping is 50-60 most of the time, so nothing drastic. I've just made a slight alteration to the code which should (I hope) fix the issue.

In MonkCombat.cs find the 1 instead of >0. Let me know.

EDIT: Or did we discover that that clause doesn't actually do anything? I'll see later when I get back in.

I don't run the zerg profile, because I haven't tested it, but it should work in theory, just test out both for an hour or so and see what's the best

I'll try out that beta version see if it has good performance compared to 521.

 

[Artega]

the > 0 or > 1 doesnt matter the charge count still isn't reliable.

I'm using your latest uploaded version and managed to minimised the problem on my side but there are slight occasions of hitting 0.

I play with 220 ping which might be the cause.

Also I'm wondering with the obidsian ring does it matter if you actually cast dashing strike on the target or not. In the current logic most of the cast isn't on the target.

Ah ok, yeah realise it's not totally reliable but you could change the cache refresh rate to a lower value to see if it helps. (Default is every 300ms currently).

Try increasing the cast delay.

Oh obsidian ring activates whenever you spend spirit to the best of my knowledge.

 

[Artega]

Its not the cast delay. Its somewhere else. My own cast delays are always 150ms. I dont remember where is the cause but I always modify the handle target and ooc area.

No obsidian ring activates only when you HIT the target. you can try casting dashing strike in town you can't reduce cooldown.

Where do you change the cache refresh area?

150ms is too low if the cache only updates every 300ms. As it can cast twice within that interval with incorrect data.

Fair enough about the zodiac, but are your concerns when in combat? Or when out of combat? In combat it doesn't miss, else you wouldn't kill anything (area damage procs it too).

Can't rememeber off the top of my head where to change it, but it's most probably in the trinity settings.xml file near the top. Might also be in the variables tab on trin settings but not sure.
