Monk EP/WOL weapon Choice As well as gear ?

[xxxmalicexxx]

So have a question got the 2 best weapons and am having a hard time deciding which will work out best in the long run

Ancient Incense Torch of the grand temple---- 4370 dps dex/Life per spirit/10% damg/ 45% reduced cost of Wol
Ancient Furnce 4100 dps 10%damg/Dex/Vit/ 48% bonus damg to elites

also is it best to use innas as the filler pieces after sunwukos or are there better pieces
i have gungdo bracers and crudest boots im wondering abot chest, pants, belt, and helm(im using all innas and leroics)

thanks for any info

Personally I use:

Leoric Crown:- (diamond gem for CDR)
Sunwoku Shoulders:- 8% CDR
Sunwoku Gloves:- 8% CDR + CC
Sunwoku Amulet:- CC, CHD
Inna's Chest:- 3xDex gems, Reduce dmg from elite 11%
Inna's Pants:- Dex gems
Inna's Belt
Gungdo Bracers:- CC + LoH
Crudest Boots:- MS
Ancient Furnace:- 4244dps 10%dmg,Dex,Vit,49% elite

Rings:- RoRG (CC+Socket) Unity (CC + Socket)
Leg gems:- Taeguk, Bane of the Trapped, Mirinae

Totals:- 54% CDR, 40% CC, 390% CHD, 64% Elite dmg - (using Hexwuko build in signature)

IMO the benefits of Furnace far outweigh using anything else I would even take a 20% DPS drop to use a Furnace purely for the Elite Damage which makes a world of Difference in G-Rifts

not sure about botting but for manual play torch > furnace

I use Furnace in Manual too tbh, I just swap out Mirinae for Gizzard for G-rift higher than 40 (current highest is 45)


Off Topic:: I have been trying the perma-serenity on Manual too but lose alot of dps as well as losing elite DPS but you are basically invincible it is beyond crazy
(but it is a killer for gear dependency)

Nice equipment set.
Personally, for my bots I prefer to ignore CDR (except on head's gem ofc).
Combining serenity at 80% life and epiphany 50% reduced damage at 70% life, bot has been able to clear 40 in non season, and 43 in season. (yeah, gungdo and gizzard are that OP).
Also, I use inna's head and Witching hour instead of Inna's. More damage is good, so when you switch to fast clears instead of grift pushing it goes faster.

The combination I'm trying to use right now is sunwoko's head+inna's belt+Lightning immunity Amulet. It clears grifts faster because of Orbiter bot behaviour (...) , you ignore also Thunderstorm and that avoids most deaths resulting in a faster clear.

On the gem part, taeguk and BotT for non season , Poison 10% gem if you can get an easy third socket without losing too many damage, and ofc gizzard in season.

Regarding weapons, I haven't had a good enough furnace to compete with my Torch. And, if we were able to make the bot fuck*** spam Wave of Light instead of waiting like half a second, it would be even faster.Tried changing trinity variable to 5 ms, no change perceived.

maybe a 4k something furnace would change that. The spirit expenditure speed of the bot quite seems to recommend it over Torch.

Dont forget torch gives 30% wol damage.

also a good monk should be able to tank almost all elemental damages, so adjust your avoidance behavior accordingly helps with efficiency a lot!

It depends on the grift level.at 45, you simply cannot tank some stuff. Beyond that, there are certain affixes that are extremely harder for the bot to evaluate. Orbiter, thunderstorm, arcane beams and Molten core explosion fall into that category.
That's why I use lightning, taking 2 of those out of the equation helps a lot.

right, well i never bot beyond 40 so never too concerned on those. I like to bot at levels that my char almost never die.
