[GUIDE] Item Swapping - Monk

FyM,

Sweeping winds works in a way that it takes a snapshot of certain stats the moment it is cast.
How we exploit it is we run around 99.9% of the time with defensive gear (resist, armor, vit) with high attack speed and critical hit chance - this means we have low sheet DPS but we can't be killed and we can create many cyclones (attack speed * critical hit chance * number of monsters hit = number of cyclones per second).

So how we use this exploit is the moment we enter battle and we don't have sweeping winds up, we do a momentary swap to gear that is DPS oriented -> we cast all buffs -> we quickly swap back to our defensive gear.
---------------

If you would run around with full dps gear - you would die really easily.

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

Sweeping winds takes a snapshot of WEAPON DAMAGE, look at a dagger with 1100dps and look at a skorn with 1100dps -> look at the WEAPON DAMAGE figures, the skorn will be alot higher.

So you want your defensive gear to be Dagger + Shield, your dps gear to be a slow 2h weapon with high weapon damage, life steal, critical hit chance, dex.
 
So by default we run with high resist armour vit with high att speed and crit chance , then the swapped ones is high dps eq? Very interesting , anyway uisually u guys run what profiles ? the most steady has been big red for me but high exp is tinnkaizer and high exp farm but having alot problems with stucks even with unstuck me.

I built about 7 monks with weaponswaping now. just a quick guide on how to gear.

Personally i swap rings/amulet/gloves/bracers and just go for high dex boots/shoulders but you could add those too.

Gloves: Go for Highest Dex possible and 43+ critdamage try to get your one for everything res too Vit is nice but will increase costs considerably. Defesive set: Vit Allres 2nd Res Crit Ats, always try to max crit
Rings/Amulet: High Dex AvgDmg and Critdamage and some Res, Vit cant hurt and you need at least some vit on your swapping gear to ensure a safe switch so keep that in mind while browsing. Defensive: same as gloves i personally try to get some MF and keep an eye out for +life items.
Bracers: Same as above Dex/Vit/2ndres. Look for 2ndres lacunis with crit they are cheap as fuck without dex/vit.
For Shoulders/Boots i recommend looking for high dex/res and pickupradius and or MF.
Head:Get Innas with sweepingwinds +dmg they are cheap as shit and boost your damage a ton you can also get the sw ring but its pretty expensive.
Weapon: I use low level legendaries with 40+% chance to stun and +ats they work great. As shild as always high vit (can go really high here) high res and high krit. As a 2hander it depends how much you want to spend a skorn with ls is always nice, has tons of critdmg and high dex but is rather expensive. if your lucky there will be some really cheap rares on the ah, try to get a really slow one dont forget dex and id aim for over 100% crtidmg.

decent set will cost no more then 50-60 million, when choosing res i always look for rings/amulets first then look if there are any cheap mf/pickup items on the ah and go from there.

i usually end up with 670-800 allres 43-50k hp about 4.5k armor(if possible switch res for armor on gear since armor is more effective for monks at least with most gearing methods) 50-55% crit 2.3+ attacks per second and 450-540% crit damage and about 2500dex when swapping.

hope it helps

ur dps gear wont have crit chances?
 
Read the original post:

What does sweeping winds include in the snapshot:

Code: 
Weapon Damage (NOT DPS - 1000dps weapon with 1 attack per second is [B]better[/B] than 1000dps weapon with 1.4 attacks per second)
Critical Damage
AVG Damage bonus (rings / amulets)
Dexterity
Bonus to sweeping winds damage
Extra damage vs elites / demons... (not tested - so if you find it really does work, tell me)
Bonus damage to lightning skills
Bonus %damage (for instance inna's favor - Bonus 7-8% elemental damage)
Life Steal

Skill buffs:
Blinding Flash - Faith in the Light -> 30%
Breath of Heaven - Blazing Wrath -> 15%
Deadly Reach - Foresight -> 18%
Combination Strike -> 8% (per spirit generator used)

Meaning critical chance isn't included in the snapshot and therefor we don't need it there - just costs a lot to have on the DPS EQ.

And we have DPS Equipment on for around 2 seconds so it doesn't really matter.

Using only the first 8 slots . oo kk . though with full dps eq i only got 40% cc .lol
 
Show me a picture of your inventory and I will show post the variables you should set
 
swap.webp

Thanks man!
 
its it cause i need

private static int[] rows = new int[] {0,0,1,0};
private static int[] columns = new int[] {1,2,2,3};
 
Solved it! Can i ask using this technique what profile would u recommend ? i would like to use tinnkaiser but unstuck me doesnt work well. Also cause i use sheet dps of 6k , usually when fighting one mob , sweeping doesnt cast , thus takes a long time to kill that mob..

After running awhile on mp3 , with a little above 50k hp and 680 AR and 4700 armour I still die at times haha

same problem here, fresh installation, latest modded trinity of yours as only plugin, checked the option but it doesn't cast nor swap gear.
 
raghathol please provide me with a log (with weapon swap logging enabled [under advanced]) + with a screenshot of your inventory + your weaponswap.cs file - i'll take a look and see what could cause this.
 
I managed to solve it myself mate, working like a charm
however i'm wondering what mp is the most profitable, gph raised a lot when i switched from 7 to 3
 
Well i would go for some combination of Items per hour & Magic find.
Gold per hour doesn't matter when you get ~50-60m per day for each bot just from items.
My best was around 1k items per hour on MP4 (yet to test other mp's atm as im leveling :O)
 
Hi, I am looking to get new amulet for swap equip, thinking on Tal Amulet, what should be the best % Lightning or Holy ?
 
im not sure if the +damage even counts.

do you guys try to avoid aoe? and did you find any settings that enhance performance. i use the tweaked pickup rule for ir2 but other then that i run defaults. but im thinking avoiding all aoe might be a bad idea as we need tornados for survability
 
I am having the same problem with not casting SW at all; at first it used to work for a bit, but did not swap anything besides the Skorn. I am sure i had the right code for items, and as i was trying to fix that, the bot stopped casting SW. Even tried on a fresh new bot/giles and it still did not cast. How did you guys solve that? Regards
 
Guys, i really need help :< i tried literally everything. Changed the trinity versions from attachment to .12, tried changing the swap.cs file in all of those. Did it all on a fresh instances of DB as well as trinity. Whatever i do, when swap weapon is checked in trinity it just won't cast it.
