No worries mate, yeh it was great to have so many friends from youtube joining the livestream. I will be livestreaming every sunday so are most welcome to join me on the next one :)
Thanks Hermit. I changed from your Evasive build to this one and I am totally in love with the build. Thanks much for all the tips! I'll try and catch you this sunday on Twitch.
Attack mechanism is simple; complete one full combo of wohf so that you gain bonus to attack speed. Depending on your crit chance, keep doing this till you get full stacks (with my monk it takes me only one full combo) and once you are there, you only use deadly reach for the next 4-5 seconds. When the timer for wohf is about to run out, hit the enemies once to refresh the stack and get back to using deadly reach again.
subscribed. Thanks for taking the time to explain how you use the build in different situations. I'm new to using a monk and will most likely use this build as I finish up Inferno with my level 60 monk.
Answer to your problems is deadly reach. Whenever you encounter plagued,molten or any other area denial monster abilities,stand away after getting the three stacks from wohf and kite using deadly reach. This will allow you to avoid most of those affixes.As far as leoric is concerned, once he uses his whirlwind move, nothing, not even 1000 res all can save you, so walk away when he is about to charge up for his attack (look for a creepy laughter before he attacks :) ) and you will do fine.
Feel free to change the build according to your convenience but do remember that if you switch to thunderclap, you end up loosing the attack speed bonus it grants you. So this would lead to you having lower dps but if it makes you more comfortable, then by all means go for it.
I get tornadoes because of the rune I use for sweeping wind. So what you need to do is select sweeping wind and then further select the rune cyclone for it :)
set your options to be able to assign any attacks to any buttons. then you can use any combination of things you like. I struggled with that on my hunter build when I first started playing too. It's an option in the GamePlay settings.
To start off with, I'd like to say that this is an insightful video. I'm trying something a little different to your average monk, and I'm going around with Mantra of Evasion using Backlash. With your video, one of your abbreviations is CS, which would be Cyclone Strike, but you don't have Cyclone Strike. I can't hear very well, but don't you mean Sweeping Wind with Cyclone? As said, insightful video, and fun to watch. I enjoy your videos as they are quite informative. Good voice too.
Hello friend, I am currently working on a build that focuses on two handed weapons only. The video will be up in a few days and it will answer all of your questions.
OKay thank! About the combination passive. I use WoHF (blazing fists) and deadly reach (foresight) as said, to gain 16% more dmg. But i suppose that i have to start hitting enemies 3 times with deadly reach so i get the 18% dmg for 30 sec, and then just use WoHF untill the 18% dmg effect from deadly reach has worn off, then hit 3 times again, with deadly reach, and then use WoHF again, and so on? Hope you understand what i wrote :)
Foresight buffs the damage for all of your attacks for a set duration. Every damage dealing skill you use will have increased dps but this will not be displayed on your character :)
hey holy hermit, thx for the very useful video, could you tell me what's your percentage of life stealing ? (if that make any sens if not sry english isn't my native language)
wow ! that's lower than I expected, I tried your strategy but my monk is dying very fast in PM5 you must have a lot of life or armor? Thanks for the answer :))
thanks mate, i have a few other builds where I show alternative ways to play as monk. Check them out as well, you might find something that suits your playstyle even more.
evasion build shows the true hidden potential of monk. If you wish to try more builds, come and find me during my livestream. Please find the link in the description :)

Ty..Thats exactly what it was too....found it after viewing 3 other ppls vids with the same issue...My apoloigies, and ty for the reply...Btw, been playikng my newly 60monk with your dodge build, and love it..Tho it seems to suffer greatly from Diminishing returns, its still quite effective way to play solo..
Hi, I was on the way to work earlier today, and tried to watch your stream on my iphone, but the Twitch app doesn't seem to be working nowadays with my phone. Anyway, I hope it was a fun one.
I have got a question: Yesterday a monster dropped the "flying dragon" weapon. It is pretty strong, but i dont know how to build my monk with this Item. Can you please help me? Thank You, Hermit
Hey mate! I really hope you see this. Because when i use this build, my deadly reach foresight damage bonus doesn't show up like a buff. Is this normal? Best regards!
Dude if you could help me out here, I'm trying to use this build for a week now and so far everything works fine BUT as soon as I hit a champ pack with Plague, Arcane lasers or some other aoe I'm gone no matter my 650 resist all how are you holding up against them? Almost cleared first half of act one but if leoric only looks at me funny and I go down
Hello i have a question. Do you have the same gear now because i gonna buy some gold and i dont wanna buy gear that is not good anymore so thats my question.
Hi im Rokie and i have question ... how i give to skill bar 2 DEFFENSIVE skills i have only Defensive , Techniques , Focus ,Mantras .. Thanks for Answer
I wish i knew what ur gear was when u had this build! cause im trying to aim for the dps u had in this video but this was posted a few months ago and now ur using a different build
well I got it figured out to some degree but I cant get those blue tornados to spawn the way you do I can only get on and only every now and then. But I will join you when I get a chance
hi holy hermit.. your skills... i cant put the deadly reach on the secondary part.. not like your skill its primary and primary.. on mine is primary and secondary.. how to change that?? pls tell me tnx
You are wise, oh hermit. I've been using your evasion build and its amazing. Please keep the videos coming. As for the rest of you, when the hermit speaks, choose to listen.
Very very cool! This is the best build and monk play i have every seen. I can never stay alive for long and I play on mp4. My problem is always dps because I have awsome gear, but my build suck. I am definetely going to try this build. You rule!
Hey man first of all awesome work love your vids but can u maybe give me some more information on this build (I know I'm a bit of an idiot I guess :D ) but I've tried to copy this build and for me nothing staks I get no blue tornados and get killed every couple seconds, my gear is actually better than yours with over 10% live leech and mor resistances and mor base dps but I cant get the cycle going for some nothing really stacks could u maybe give me like an order of things? Thanks in advance
i'm guessing that the pc and console versions of d3 are WAY different cause my console monk is putting out 1.6 million dps withy wave of light doing 3-4 million on crit
great video man amazing dps and cool build. I hope u wont get offended if i say u have a TV narrators voice, I thought it was entertaining for the explanation :)
i tried it, but it didn't work well for my equip, without seize the initiative my armor drops from 5.5k to 3.5k, can't do it in mp 10 but i do fare awesomely well in mp 5 though, tnx for this!
My Monk paragon level is 6, using 2-handed sword with 1009 dmg, has dexterity around 3290, DPS around 43K. BUT, other monk in youtube has similar dmg 2 handed sword, around 3000 dexterity and deal 160K DPS.. HOW COULD??? Someone pls explain it too me, whats going on??
What up Hermit?! Tryn to incorp dashing strike in a dps/combo strike build like this one. I realizes theres not a lot of fat to trim. Any ideas? -Luv frm South L.A
No worries mate, yeh it was great to have so many friends from youtube joining the livestream. I will be livestreaming every sunday so are most welcome to join me on the next one :)

Looking foward for the streams!
I get tornadoes because of the rune I use for sweeping wind. So what you need to do is select sweeping wind and then further select the rune cyclone for it :)
very interesting build, more sustain dmg than burst? or does blinding flash provide a large burst for elites/rares? well compaired to WoL build.
set your options to be able to assign any attacks to any buttons. then you can use any combination of things you like. I struggled with that on my hunter build when I first started playing too. It's an option in the GamePlay settings.
I have something even special planned. be sure to check the upcoming fire palm build on monk :)
It's a game mechanic. Every time a tornado zaps an enemy, life is stolen based on total life steal and damage done to an enemy by the tornado.
To start off with, I'd like to say that this is an insightful video. I'm trying something a little different to your average monk, and I'm going around with Mantra of Evasion using Backlash.

Hello friend, I am currently working on a build that focuses on two handed weapons only. The video will be up in a few days and it will answer all of your questions.
Great video! I have a question: How is that Galraki axe account bound?? any of the ones I can craft are account bound.
Hey holy hermit got any tips for how to get good crit chance gear without the auction house. Btw great vid!
OKay thank! About the combination passive. I use WoHF (blazing fists) and deadly reach (foresight) as said, to gain 16% more dmg. But i suppose that i have to start hitting enemies 3 times with deadly reach so i get the 18% dmg for 30 sec, and then just use WoHF untill the 18% dmg effect from deadly reach has worn off, then hit 3 times again, with deadly reach, and then use WoHF again, and so on?

Foresight buffs the damage for all of your attacks for a set duration. Every damage dealing skill you use will have increased dps but this will not be displayed on your character :)
go to options, then gameplay, there you can enable free skill selection :)
hey holy hermit, thx for the very useful video, could you tell me what's your percentage of life stealing ? (if that make any sens if not sry english isn't my native language)

Ty..Thats exactly what it was too....found it after viewing 3 other ppls vids with the same issue...My apoloigies, and ty for the reply...Btw, been playikng my newly 60monk with your dodge build, and love it..Tho it seems to suffer greatly from Diminishing returns, its still quite effective way to play solo..
yes mate, i try to make builds that are applicable to the same gear. Otherwise everything gets way too expensive and is not worth it :)
Hi, I was on the way to work earlier today, and tried to watch your stream on my iphone, but the Twitch app doesn't seem to be working nowadays with my phone. Anyway, I hope it was a fun one.
I use two spirit generators that buff my dps. Combination strike gives you dps irregardless of what rune you choose :)
I have got a question:
Yesterday a monster dropped the "flying dragon" weapon.
It is pretty strong, but i dont know how to build my monk with this Item.
Can you please help me?
Thank You, Hermit
Hey mate! I really hope you see this. Because when i use this build, my deadly reach foresight damage bonus doesn't show up like a buff. Is this normal? Best regards!

Just switched out my fist of thunder for this long reach skill. But I use WKL. should I stick with FoT?
You might need to update your flash player mate. I checked the video and it is running fine, I hope you find what you are looking for :)
My ger is pretty much the same as you in the video but please understand that it is very expensive. Right now my gear is around 10 bil :)
Thank you very much holy hermit for all your advices. You teached me a lot every single time. Continue like that ;)
very sustainable build, did this on my IK geared monk ran MP10 and only died once. good vid, thanks
How come? Because when i use wohf, the mobs die faster than when i use deadly reach? Should i still use the method that you said?
How can you have two primary attack? And two defensive? Wheres your secondary and the your focus?
none taken mate, welcome to the channel :)
Hello i have a question. Do you have the same gear now because i gonna buy some gold and i dont wanna buy gear that is not good anymore so thats my question.
Actually he does use two spirit regeneration skills.
Do you use this set on the palm build?
Very good video, I like the way you describe your build and how it works. Stay on this way, you have one more subscriber!
How did you get two primary skills? My game says Primary and Secondary
Hi im Rokie and i have question ... how i give to skill bar 2 DEFFENSIVE skills i have only Defensive , Techniques , Focus ,Mantras .. Thanks for Answer
I wish i knew what ur gear was when u had this build! cause im trying to aim for the dps u had in this video but this was posted a few months ago and now ur using a different build
Awesome my monk went up from 197k dps to 280k dps with a 401k dps max with blinding flash :) Thanks!
did he Make some of that gear, cause i was trying to figure out why there was no name to the gear
well I got it figured out to some degree but I cant get those blue tornados to spawn the way you do I can only get on and only every now and then. But I will join you when I get a chance
what weapon does the enchantress use to summon a demon?
my consistent buffed dps is 451k, with blinding flash, it goes upto 700k for 3 seconds :)
how do the tornadoes give you life leach?
Paulo llanes go to options and Look for something called elective mode turn that on and you can map any skill to any skill button
@Holy Hermit can u make a mix of this and ur evasion build
Im using you're setup, and my dmg is no where near your dmg, please help.
how did he get two primary skills as mouse skills?
how much did your weapons cost?
hi holy hermit.. your skills... i cant put the deadly reach on the secondary part.. not like your skill its primary and primary.. on mine is primary and secondary.. how to change that?? pls tell me tnx
go into settings and turn on elective mode
I have never played oblivion so I will take your word for it :)
You are wise, oh hermit. I've been using your evasion build and its amazing. Please keep the videos coming. As for the rest of you, when the hermit speaks, choose to listen.
I am a mere hermit mate, we all learn a lot from each other :)
how much does all his gear cost?
what's your resistance at?
Join me during my livestream where I explain this and other builds in great detail.
How much did it cost to build this?/
Dude you literally geeking me out the whole time
Very very cool! This is the best build and monk play i have every seen. I can never stay alive for long and I play on mp4. My problem is always dps because I have awsome gear, but my build suck. I am definetely going to try this build. You rule!
Hey man first of all awesome work love your vids but can u maybe give me some more information on this build (I know I'm a bit of an idiot I guess :D ) but I've tried to copy this build and for me nothing staks I get no blue tornados and get killed every couple seconds, my gear is actually better than yours with over 10% live leech and mor resistances and mor base dps but I cant get the cycle going for some nothing really stacks could u maybe give me like an order of things? Thanks in advance
thanks for watching :)
How many percent? 02:24
i'm guessing that the pc and console versions of d3 are WAY different cause my console monk is putting out 1.6 million dps withy wave of light doing 3-4 million on crit
Your monk currently has nothing equipped. It makes it hard to compare without your video. Why have you stripped your monk completely for gear?
So I see you are a monk who prefers balance mate. I am glad to know that :D
Unfortunately, I have replicated this build with decent items and die pretty much instantly vs elites or when surrounded.
Are you going to make a monk build for patch 2.0.1?
Regards
I certainly will be, in fact I have uploaded a build already. Look for a loot2.0 and ros monk build uploaded on the channel very recently.
nice man.. i can get 800k dps fully buff with this build ..works like a charm
Did not see any reflect mobs in video. 1 life steal at that dps. wonder why you didnt show that? hmmm
great video man amazing dps and cool build. I hope u wont get offended if i say u have a TV narrators voice, I thought it was entertaining for the explanation :)
Btw where are you currently living ?
this is almost identical to my build but I don't use deadly reach I use the skill that brings them al to me very good though
i tried it, but it didn't work well for my equip, without seize the initiative my armor drops from 5.5k to 3.5k, can't do it in mp 10 but i do fare awesomely well in mp 5 though, tnx for this!
you have an very nice calm talking voice! You should do Audiobooks or smth!
My Monk paragon level is 6, using 2-handed sword with 1009 dmg, has dexterity around 3290, DPS around 43K. BUT, other monk in youtube has similar dmg 2 handed sword, around 3000 dexterity and deal 160K DPS.. HOW COULD???
Someone pls explain it too me, whats going on??
in 2013 diablo was harder so you had less damage
Thanks mate, I post non-diablo videos too. If I may recommend, have a look at "tales from holy hermit" series :)
If there were a monster with infinite health you could kill it with this build.
Is this how you actually talk? It's like the tone if your voice is wrong at the end of your sentence, it's not a bad thing but I'm confused.
Holy shit, they should hire you to talk in animal documentaries. :D
It has no name friend, for I write these poems on my own :)
What up Hermit?! Tryn to incorp dashing strike in a dps/combo strike build like this one. I realizes theres not a lot of fat to trim. Any ideas? -Luv frm South L.A
you know id be fine with this build, except for that fact that you can't have two primary skills active at one time
800,000 with the active buffs
That's like 2 mil critical for a level 60 ~,..,~
Ummm yeah it would help if u made an update video
so take current lvl lets say MP10, and ramp it by 2 so hmm MP12.... might as well build a time machine and try to do inferno be4 the nurfs.
