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

Ok so I have the Giles Trinity CS which is a HUGE Cs.... where do I input the Wave of light code... please help with this simple answer....
 
I want to confirm very good advice from JeNaTeGe (and thanx!)

My advice would be to focus on getting items with either high dex OR vit. Because getting 2 items with mediocre dex+vit on em are often a LOT more expensive than 2 seperate items... 1 with high dex and 1 with high vit which in the end gives the same results more or less.

I would like to add some warnings to new players of the monk cannon,
that you can learn from my mistakes: :rolleyes::cool:

Contrary to my toad/acid rain WD, this build does work only with the minimum specified in post#1
My old stragegy of buying one item after the other (while lvl my first D3 char WD)
did not work here.
As both life and DPS was bad, I didn't want to sacrife either, and so I searched for one item
with all life/resists/damage better.
Like JeNaTeGe had pointed out, this yielded an expensive item with only few improvement at all.
(Or I got an improvement in one or two stats, with other stat(s) worse; and then it was not a real char improvemant in the run)


So I have learned (the hard way :D) these 2:
1) This build is not for level up a new char, e.g. after ban, with no gold.
Because it simply does not work "half equiped".
2) You cannot buy one more item, when you have farmed a little gold. (in case new poor char)
You have to buy all equip at once, in a coordinated way (like in JeNaTeGe's post or in 1#+#2 posts described).

Hope that helps someone to avoid the same mistakes.

Would also like to see this. I'm starting a monk bot today and will need to modify the Giles file if that is still a necessity.
 
So Sleepy i have found the wave of light format within the CS using CTR + F but when I input it my giles trinity wont work and says invalid code..... What am I doing wrong??

Hey man I've just been going through this to see if it makes sense. If you were to copy paste the code from the first page directly over the current wave of light code in the monk abilities .cs file, you will get errors as there are variables in there that are never addressed in the code. What I've done right now is just use the vanilla version of giles and demonbuddy and it seems to work. I'm going to monitor it to see if anything looks off to me.

Just to clarify, I did not modify any of the code. I've never played a monk, so I'm not sure how this should be going. My biggest concern is how little spirit I am producing.
 
Works amazing a great guide for those just starting out HIGHLY recommend this for first timer botters!!!

Don't cry, read it somewhere. I managed to find it, so can you.

What you just wrote is utter bullshit.
I build a monk for 2mil with 50k dps. Did just fine with 4 d/h and P1. I've gotten 2 mil from selling some lowlvl items during the leveling phase and after that I bought the cheapest shit for my monk.

Now its P50 and doing 80k dps. The dps comes with the P levels. So wtf ur saying is utter bullshit. Stop laming arround like a headless chicken and think before you fuck a threat up.

If you responded this way to someone in real life, you'd be labeled psychotic. Get a grip and stop taking your problems with life out on random strangers on the internet. The guy didn't even say anything offensive.

It would just need to be modified a bit until you can get better gear. Throw in a little LOH and it should be fine, or aim for a bit more EHP until you can afford to buy a few items to pump the dps high enough.

Could even swap the skorn for a 1h/shield, or a rare 2h with high LOH / LL, but lower crit dmg / dps / main stat.

It wouldn't be as effective that way, but as soon as you find one item worth 5+ mil you could likely fix it.

I wish I'd have read about the build and that "One With Everything" skill before I bought my gear... lol... keeping to one type of resist instead of going cold, poison on some, fire on some... yeah, that probably would have worked better. Still came out okay though.
 
I had 3 mil to my name when i decided to do this build. Came out with 0-.5 DPH and 15M exp an hour and 200k GPH. You Rock!

Armor: 5k
DPS: 65k
Resists: 724
Life on Kill : 3.1k
HP: 31k
ASPD: 1.47
Crit chance: 16.5
Crit Damage: 303%

All for about 2.2M! This includes andriels, skorn and lacuni.

You rock! Thank You! :D
