Glad to see you guys arnt behind the curve

Wow... you sure are one sad little man. Trying to hide the size of your genitals by staying up to date and commenting on a clan forum where you left and no one likes you?.. giving what can only be seen as "pro tips" by yourself... this looks pretty green to me. Do you have a crush on Jaco?

Still not sure I understand the mechanics of what makes this set so awesome.
So if you were gonna do say 100k dmg over 10 seconds with Haunt, then you cast soul harvest, that 100k happens immediately?
I think so yes

OK, so I guess I can see the value in eradicating white mobs almost instantly, but what's the benefit against elites? Except I guess if you've got lots of CDR, and you can re-cast haunt quickly since it doesn't stack multiple times?

I also thought so, but after actually playing it and hitting elites, it takes about two sequences to pulverize and elite pack on T5takesa bit of practice to nuke what you intend to nuke.
You have to press a button to cast Piranhado to pull monsters together> then two buttons to cast locust and haunt> then soul harvest to remove the DoT deal the number you see in the screenshots, that is one sequence that needs to happen as fast as possible

DoT (damage over time) does not seem to do crits,but your crit hit damge is included in the number, the highest I have see is about 340mil, previous page is two screen shots, my fingers is to slow to press printscreen in between the button pressing sequence to catch that 340mil.

From patch 2.05
•Rather than rolling for a Critical Hit, Haunt will now calculate an average damage augmented by your Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Damage on application and apply that damage evenly over the duration of the entire DoT

Okay cool. The AOE is not very big right? Have you died yet running in casting it?

not at all, If I do get into trouble I use the my sixth finger to drink a potion, but my Soul Harvest-Siphon instantly heals me when the mobs die! So if I die I did not press the right buttons...

Well my darling, it seems your super duper ninja monk suck!

haha, dude, trust me I know the feeling. The monk set piece buff was good but still way behind.

Just chillout and wait for 2.1. By then the class balance issues should be sorted out and there will be a new season where you'll have to start from scratch anyway so dont feel like you missing out too much by not playing now.

This is only the beginning.

I need 1 more piece for my raiment set then i can see if the 3000% buff works or not.

I finally found a thunderfury for my lightning build.

I have 4 pieces myself, with my RoRG just need one more for the 6 set bonus.

The buff does work, there are some top monks already posting some respectable T6 clear times and there could still be room for improvement. It is quite tricky though and there is an element of skill to get the Jawbreaker dashing strike mechanic right.

Gratz on your TF, but I think the 6 piece bonus the 2 weaps you want are the Jawbreaker and Odyn's son or WKL. The reason for this is that +% lightning dmg will buff the raiment proc so ideally you want a weapon that's got +% lightning dmg cause its gonna scale crazy good with the 3000% dmg raiment proc.

I got a WKL and some other mace that gives +15% each.

Will see whats the best one i got the final piece. ATM i just like the TF proc where everything gets zapped.

Its seems now that i got the TF the build will eventually not use it:mad:

And again, I know that feeling...I finally got a Shard of Hate for my monk (found it with my sader though) and I've hardly used it and will probably only use it until I finish my set.

I'm still more focused on my sader atm, I'll wait for 2.1 before I start on a monk again, I want a full class fix not just a buff to the set.

Oi this game is really funny. You wait months for some item and suddenly it rains from the sky.

Got my last piece of the raiment set last night with a unity ring and a follower relic that that support it.

At last i see some 75m crits with my monk:)

Lol, the marauder pants dropped for me as well - minutes after commenting to Jaco that drops were really bad.

Marauder pants allow me to equip Tasker gloves (40% attack speed boost to pets and turrets), but....

Funny thing is, I got the Mr Yans a couple of weeks ago and I think they make for a better game experience (higher boosted dps: higher toughness) at higher T levels.

I never went higher than T3 except for RIF (T6 sometimes) and i got all my stuff on my wiz and monk by playing only T2 at the highest. I never got anything worthwhile by playing higher T lvl's. For me its a waist of time.

I would probably have geared up sooner but i am a lazy D3 player. I don't like to die and everything must melt before i take it on.
