Monk Botting

[Chillzinho]

Hey guys I just got my fresh 70 monk to have the 6 Set raiment (Farmed speed rifts with my barb),a witching hour,an ancient warmonger (4,2k dps),Unity and convention of the elements. I have around 800k dps and 17 mil toughness. What should i go for next? The In-goem/envious blade because i really want to speed farm ! What Trinity do you suggest ?

 

[beardi]

Trinity fork or Fujiyama's Trinity (search for it in the Trinity Thread). Fujiyama's is better IMO.

Belt, rings and weapon all need changing. Dual wield only works with Flying Dragon really. Get In-Geom/Pig Sticker (30% bonus damage to beasts and humans is massive) But it might take a while to find a decent rolled one (Primary,10%dmg,LOH,CDR). Get focus and restraint with CDR/CC and a Vigilante Belt.

Once you're at 60% CDR with the passive then you can swap things out for more DPS (for example the belt). I like to stay at 65% CDR so desert shroud is up 90% of the time (with Gogok Stacks).

You don't need toughness really for Monks. Mine clears GR50 with 16m Toughness

PS: For Higher GR's swap out In-Geom for a well rolled Azurewrath (20% Cold, Dex, 10CDR) and it helps push up.

So should I do t6 rift with my current Setup until i get in-goem and pig Sticker ?

Do T6 and GR's doesn't really matter. Only takes a day to farm up 200+ Rift Frags anyway

First 200 I managed up to about GR45, Next 200 got me to GR50 See if I can pass GR51 now lol.

Hi, thanks for sharing this. I have a paragon 690 raiment monk that seems to be having trouble pushing into GR50. I frequently die in 46-47, whether I let the bot full auto, or play with a blank profile. I also use Fujiyama's latest trinity. I'm very curious what kind of settings you use.

Summary of my monk:
65.6% CDR
44% crit
530% CHD
18.3m toughess while Dual wield.
weapons are: 2.8k dual wield set (sever/shard), or 4k dps ancient dragon, both sets have loh

So my problem is the monk never stays inside the inner sanctuary and it always dashes off, even though Fujiyama set it to cast more frequently. Should I be toning down trash mob engage range or something?
I was especially curious how you manage your survival or tweak your bot setting to survive. I noticed that I have similar toughness as you while dual wielding, yet I'm getting 30sec timers in as low as 46s

my dw skill build is:

FoT - Quickening
Ephiphany - Desert Shroud
Dash - cold
Breath - infused with light
Blind - faith in light
Inner Sanc - forbidden palace

Any insight you have or advise towards skill set up and trinity setting would be wonderful!! I have a suspicion that my issue is with one of these two things (or both), since gear wise I'm pretty close to BIS.

My bot needs about 20 Minutes for 1 complete bounty run in act 4 .. do you use the act 4 or the act 1 Profile ?

 

[madeinchina85]

Update - I tested for curiosity sake I turned down the combat trigger range for elites and trash to 15 and 0 respectively, then turned off "extend trash-kill range after combat" and the bot seems to completely ignore these commands and dashes around anyway, continues to completely ignore inner sanctuary circles on the ground... Am i screwing up trinity somehow? I feel lost =(

No problem at all, I'll just write up in some detail what I use for GR50 (can't quite remember as I've done some tweaking for lower GR speeds).

Gear (all ancient except the amulet):

Head: Dex/Vit/CC/CDR Socket
Shoulders: Dex/15% Dash/CDR/RRC
Gloves: Dex/CHD/CC/CDR
Rings F/R: Dex/CC/CDR/Socket
Chest: Dex/Vit/Dash/Dex Socket
Bracers SG: Dex/Vit/Cold%/CC
Belt String of Ears: Dex/Vit/Life/Regen
Legs: Dex/Vit/Armor/Dex Socket
Boots: Dex/Vit/Armor/MS
Amulet Hellfire (Determination): Dex/CC/CHD/Socket
1H Pig Sticker: 2625dps/Dex/IAS/LOH/CDR/Socket/30%Beasts/22%Humans
1H Gift of Silaria: 2642dps/Dex/Vit/CDR/RRC/Socket

Gems: R53 Bane of Trapped, R50 Gogok, R53 Esoteric Alteration.

Improvements:
Ammy: Haven't found one yet but a Cold/CC/CHD/Socket/30% Range Dmg Reduction Eye of Elitch might be an improvement. I say MIGHT lightly as the determination passive on my Hellfire is basically a 20% DMG increase so for speed I think Hellfire's better with the same rolls (and a passive that increases DPS or is one of the four listed below so you can swap out for a DPS boost)
Weapons: Higher Dps roll and 30/30 bonus damage on the Pig Sticker. Higher DPS on Gift of Silaria wither with Vit rerolled to %DMG or %IAS (I'd lean towards IAS more than DMG as more IAS means more Spirit)

My Skills are the same as yours.
Passives I use for GR50: Harmony, Beacon of Ytar, Near Death Experience, The Guardian's Path.

What this all means:

Sheet DPS: 1.2m
Toughness Unbuffed: 48.5m
Recovery: 3.5m

I'm aware that I just posted clearing GR50 with 16m Toughness because I forgot how much it increased with SoE/Esoteric/Guardian's Path since I've been doing lower GR's recently, so my bad!
With Death's shroud active and dashing toughness jumps to 160m or so with 1.5m dps.

As for Trinity settings, the only major change I did was to turn all avoidance down to 25% HP. The only thing that's really an issue is standing directly on top of Arcane without Inner Sanct there as sometimes you just get wrecked!

Elite range: 150
Trash range: 80
Cluster Radius: 20
Pack Size: 3
Ignore with Health and Health/DOT: 0%

I'm just going to do a few GR50s to see if I remembered my setup correctly lol Will update if I missed anything!

UPDATE: Well while trying to get the bot to do GR50 it opened a GR52 Rift instead. Died 4 times and the boss had 1/2HP left at 15 Minutes. Probably could have completed it without the bot backtracking like a bellend (love it when it does that!) and the deaths were from 2/3 elite packs simultaneously with horrid affixes (arcane ewww). So yeah above should be just fine for you to clear GR50.

wow thanks for the help, I immediately made adjustments based on your recommendations, so far a pretty notable improvement in full auto riftbotting at GR46.

Here's my current character loadout based on the adjustments you've made.

I've made the adjustments to trinity based on your comment as well, toning down effect dodging to 25% will probably help uptime a lot. do you also see the issue of the bot dashing out of inner sanctuary when fighting everything thats not a boss?

Thanks for the link but you might want to remove that now that I've seen it as (highly doubtful but you never know!) Biz might look at it and they can find your Player ID just by putting in the numbers lol. But thats' probably just me being overly cautious!.

Looks good, a few things;

Normal Shoulders with Dex/CDR/RRC/Dash > Ancient without one of those
Boots: Armor > AR since Esoteric only effects non-phys so we're lacking in Phys Resist and 600 armor > 122 Phys resist (generally)
Legs: Whack in some Dex once you've got String of Ears, need all the dps we can manage
And obvs the weapons just wait for a decent rolled Gift/Pig/Azurewrath/Flying Dragon(2h) but I've tested with a FD and it's nowhere near as good as Dual Wielding for the bot, even though all the top GR pushers seem to have them equipped.

I've not tested what turning all avoidance except Arcane and molten cores would be like. Combine that with a nicely rolled Ignore Arcane Amulet and it might improve things again. Maybe test those out if you get the chance before I do

I'll probably write up a detailed guide anyway for Monk S3 Botting but I'm in the midst of my final exams so not sure I have the time lol.

Anyway, if you can clear GR46 with relative ease then GR50 isn't far off. I was amazed when I cleared 46, then 47, then 48 all the way to 50 without actually changing much. And I'd say 51 is an easy clear for me now. At higher GR's the bot doesn't dash around all over the shop leaving mobs behind as much so speed of clears is about the same from 47-49 till your dps becomes the issue.

As for Inner Sanctuary, the bot doesn't look for where it places it, it just spams the skill when available, so its a given that it'll dash out of it most of the time. Perhaps post in the Trinity thread and see if fuji's fork can be injected and the code can be written for Inner Sanct, but for the mo it's an issue we just have to deal with.

Which Profile works better for rift Fragment farming ? Act 1 or act 4 ??

 

[Mauldog]

Damn, thanks for all your help Beardi. I was wanting to ask if you have a set item list you use geared towards monk.

 

[beardi]

I've not used A4 but A1 does 4-5 full A1 completes per hour for me, so around 25-30 frags an hour.
A4 may be faster but I had issues with some of the bounties and it doesn't seem to be as regularly updated as the A1 profiles by WiN.

Damn, thanks for all your help Beardi. I was wanting to ask if you have a set item list you use geared towards monk.

No worries mate, as I said I'll do a more in depth guide at some point in the future but I'm busy

This is the item list that I use, note though that it's mostly looking towards perfect rolls on things so if you're still gearing up it might need a bit of tweaking!

Thats totally fine. I just got overwhelmed trying to start from scratch. Again, thanks a bunch!

Is someone of you using yar ? Im having Problems to Set it up so that he does 5 runs of act 1 bounties and then 10 rifts can someone explain it to me ?

Trinity fork or Fujiyama's Trinity (search for it in the Trinity Thread). Fujiyama's is better IMO.

Belt, rings and weapon all need changing. Dual wield only works with Flying Dragon really. Get In-Geom/Pig Sticker (30% bonus damage to beasts and humans is massive) But it might take a while to find a decent rolled one (Primary,10%dmg,LOH,CDR). Get focus and restraint with CDR/CC and a Vigilante Belt.

Once you're at 60% CDR with the passive then you can swap things out for more DPS (for example the belt). I like to stay at 65% CDR so desert shroud is up 90% of the time (with Gogok Stacks).

You don't need toughness really for Monks. Mine clears GR50 with 16m Toughness

PS: For Higher GR's swap out In-Geom for a well rolled Azurewrath (20% Cold, Dex, 10CDR) and it helps push up.

What is ur build? Have a link to something?

Do you have a link to ur profile? I have full rainemtns set.. however my monk barely dashes...
I am going to try Fujiyama instead of trinity fork.

--- Where do I find Fujiyama? Only thing that comes up is regular trinity and quest tools

Look on the previous page of this thread for my build etc (There are a few posts).

https://www.assembla.com/code/fujiyama-unifiedtrinity-fork/git/nodes/master/Trinity

is Fujiyama's fork

 

[Andongni]

What is the issue with the Fujiyama fork in other profiles?

What is the issue with the Fujiyama fork in other profiles?

It sometimes gets stuck (for example with WiN's A1 Bounties it gets stuck quite regularly) But you shouldn't need advanced combat for T6 anything so just use the regular version for that

 

[aiciak]

one more question

My monk goes through the entire rift well... however, sometimes the rift guardian spawns and my monk high tails it out of there and never goes back for the rift guardian. Just runs around doing nothing.

Trinity 2.9, however has happened with previous versions.
