"The monk cannon" - a budget fast and effective monk build for Act 3 champion farming

I don´t think the full Inna´s set is worth it. Ok, sweeping wind cost reduction is good, but in a normal scenario you cast it very few times, as your monk will keep killing mobs constantly. I found way better to have Natalya´s boots and ring for the +7% crit chance and 2 Inna´s pieces (pants and chest is the best option, IMHO)
 
we are talking about bots not a playable hero, i mean its too expensive to buy crit natalit boots+ crit natali ring, i will coust u about 60kk
 
I just had both for less than 2kk... With decent stats, actually.
 
Ring: 2 resistances + dex + att.speed
Boots: Dex+all res

And of course, the item bonus of 7% crit chance, I was not saying crit on the item itself of course! I know it´s not awesome, but at the moment it´s a good temporary (and budgetwise) solution. But hey, whatever it works, mate!

Well cyclones does a TON of damage (especially with a 2hander) and using 4 piece inna allows me to keep more spirit for using Wave of Light.
If i were to drop the 4 piece inna for higher overall dps, i would probably drop sweeping winds all together.

As for Natalya.. you can get a decent ring with 5-6% crit chance and other nice affix that will make it better than the bonus from natalya, and then you can use Zunimassa Trail (boots) for 8% bonus damage :)

anybody knows how badly inflated the old versions were? i dropped from 1000iph to 350-400 which is really exessive

Depends how many times you died and how crappy a profile you run xd
The more times it ran through the same area - the more double counting it did :)

Mmm... Looks really good, actually! I already have 2 Inna?s pieces, and was aiming to get the other two in order to try your new build with Spirit Regen, so I?ll keep running that path. Many thanks Tesslerc!

EDIT: Got it! But now I have a problem... I dropped OWE but now my resistance is a complete $#1t!!! I have a few deaths but not enough to be unuseful. Actually I think I will swap a few of the non-essential pieces with poison resistance (I was using the Andariel Visage option) with something with all resistance, which I already have about 150ish.

Thanks again, very useful thread!

Is this build worth running above mp0? Seems like it could handle mp1 alright, but is the extra health on monsters not worth the extra bonus for better/more loot? It's kinda the ageless mp debate, but also since this build is based on 1 shot aoe clearing, additional mp could invalidate the whole point of this build and it's efficiency. Curious opinions on this

Try, and tell me what you find out :)
I found it best atm to go mp0.

My latest update:
Total Gold gained: 2090.86 Thousand [639.47 Thousand per hour]

===== Item DROP Statistics =====
Items:
Total items dropped: 2183 [667.65 per hour]

MP0, 9 spirit regen, using Fire storm rune on Sweeping Winds and Submission on Mantra of Conviction.
1 hitting every elite pack with wave of light empowered wave (40 spirit for 800% dps) and new trinity 1.7.2.3 has option to ignore solitary monsters - so it passes by them and they die :)
 
Well I'm also running the original build you created. It has been tried and true for me, so I opted not to re buy gear and try the 1.0.7 soj/inna helm one u linked. Is it far superior? If anything was gonna work on mp1 I spose it would be that one with more investment
 
Guys, can you tell me what is profit of mp0? I have read whole thread but there is no good opinion about it. I mean im running at mp3 with average 550 IPH, should i switch to mp0 so i will have more profit?
All i need is good items, so what will be better mp3 or mp0?
Also my build is lifestealSkorn+innaset+tips from OP post. 1,3 attack speed and 110k dps on each bot. 600-700 AR.
 
this isnt my bot account tho iam exping/farming with this monk
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GoTHbudda-2306/hero/22618020 very fast mob killing and after cleaning mobs just seven sided strike on elites to rape them fast.
i do 60m/h on alka runs.
Tho this build is about spirit cover from 3 stacks of sweeping wind ( and from items ) dunno how bot will deal with it tho it should be fine since i myself just click aura sweeping wind heal and after that i run whole map with just holding my right mouse button.Stoping only for seven sided strike on elites.Never down on spirit.Try this guys and tell me ur results
 
Ehmm... don´t you think it´s rather not safe to publish your profile here in public? :-?

Anyway, as far as I know, the bot still doesn´t handle Tempest Rush very well. There is a huge difference between a build for a bot and a build for playing by hand.
 
I used the monk build from the TS. It continuously grew with progressing and gold. Recently I replaced my Skorn 1.2dps 300 dex/vit, 180+%CD, WD50 % with a 1.4k Vigilance. not half the amount of dex/vit but with 5+% life steal for like 350k gold and I have seen no difference in gph or eph. My death per hour even decreased to 0 and my CD% went from 450++% to 170%. Skorns are greatly exagerated.
 
When reaching.. say paragon 50, is it then only beneficial to pick up the good yellows and legendaries? - atm I'm picking up all yellows and vendoring the ones beneath my loot "saving" score. I cant figure out which is the most benefitting GPH-wise.

Anyone have experience in higher MP's? I'm paragon 100, 44k HP, 142k DPS. Trying to figure out what MP I can run and not worry about getting obliterated or if maybe I should change to a different build to go up in MP. My skorn has 5.4LS so that helps keep me alive on MP3 currently.
 
I am intrested if somewone tried this in mp5 or higher ... If so can pls post some stast ??? want to build one for high mp ... wath do you thin ?? worth it?
