This seems fun! I've also been messing around with a high dps build using Way of the Hundred Fists that's a little different and would like your input.
Mine uses an almost identical setup. These skills are the same as your build: Sweeping Wind, MoH, Serenity, Breath of Heaven. However for my build I focus on the Blazing Fist rune. I really like this rune functionally and the way it looks. The idea is to just get insane attack speed buffs and critical hits. I stack crit chance and enhanced crit damage reasonably to keep the 15% ias and movement speed up, and fo course sweeping wind is always at max count.
Second, instead of Mystic Ally, I use Deadly Reach-Foresight. You only weave it in every 30 seconds for the damage buff. The 18% damage buff is just like the 15% buff from Blazing Wrath and it's awesome. It's a massive increase to Sweeping Wind, your attacks, and your critical hits. It costs no spirit, and if you're ever in a situation where you need to "hit and run" it's a great secondary tactic for kiting damage.
As far as some other ideas, I was looking at the Cyclone rune for Sweeping Wind and wondering if the the high IAS and crit chance from Blazing Fists could cause a decent amount of damage through tornado spam. I'm also curious about on-hit effects like Life on Hit witht he rapid punches from WotHF.
I have pretty decent gear but probably no where near what you can grab. Anyway it might do less damage or it might do more. Hopefully I spark some ideas!
Wow, I wish a 700 fist weapon would drop for me. Still farming act 1 inferno with 3.5k dps, guess that takes more skillSeriously though, nice vid and thank you for sharing ;-)
Actually that's a great idea incorporating deadly reach with foresight. I'll have to try this out too. So many great ideas on this board!Originally Posted by Such Violent Storms

As far as the +life I think it'd be really OP if each hit of hundred fists was considered a "hit". I imagine each activation of WoHF would be considered "one hit". But if not, holy hell, I know what I'm stackin
And that was actually what I wanted to move my monk towards. Lifesteal/+health on hit, more dex, less vit, more crit, and using dodge mantra instead of mantra of healing, because after thinking about it for a while the mantra of healing just doesn't scale well as it is currently.
Heh that 700dps fist weapon I bought off the AH for a mill. Was real pro when I clicked byWow, I wish a 700 fist weapon would drop for me. Still farming act 1 inferno with 3.5k dps, guess that takes more skill
Just tried your build with my crappy 350 dps weapon and boy did it make a difference to progress. Thank you so much for sharing, it honestly seems like the only useful inferno build, before I was just tanking with neg enemy damage skills but this has made me soo much more useful around my friends and reinvigorated my interested in this game.
The problem with giving people so many choices (as I see it) is that Blizzard are also giving players the choice to fail consistently lol. Hence the hate. This game isn't going to succeed, however at least there are the elite few whom are paving the way to progress
I switched my spirit generator! This deserves a new video.
Stop posting a thread for every video you make, use one vaguely named thread and keep updating it.
kthx
Glad it helped out for you! Haha yeah choice can be good or bad, but, I prefer choice over no-choice. Lord I remember my D2 character, got him to 30 and realized that his build SUCKED and then just lost all motivation to play.Just tried your build with my crappy 350 dps weapon and boy did it make a difference to progress.

Doing split testing to see what titles are the most effective, plus posts in threads tend to get lost and not very many people see the new updates. Sorry if they're annoying you.
