With Intelligence to Hit and Damage AND use as Spell DC, its a perfect synergy.

Though Probably NOT the best quest to run for this type of build, it is still far superior in DPS than most not Multi-classes.

Just entering EPICS @ level 21 Vault of Night 3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOHrDJZrudk&t=255s

LIKE the videos above ^^



HOW ITS DONE:

1) MAX Intelligence
2) MAX Spell power
3) MAXIMUM STYLE

Though i can Probably stop it right there and call it a build; some people might ask for more information...

Just how do you the the 5th core enhancement from the EK tree?
Dont you have to be a lvl 20 wizard? Not 18 wizard 2 monk?

You're thinking of the 6th core (capstone), which needs 20 levels in a class

Does anyone ever use disciple of fist? (monk past life feat) how much extra damage would that add? This is only in heroic while I am doing racial lives so I was just curious to test it.

Is this build still good? Is whirlwind attack still worth the investment?

I can’t speak on this build, as I always thought the 12/5/3 was always superior, but yes ww attack is still great on any wraps build.

Thanks! I don't know what build you are referring to, but i'm looking for a caster CC + melee DPS + selfhealing build. This seems to fit the bill, and i will probably try it out either
with handwraps or as a staff build with a rogue level.

Caster cc and melee dps isn’t really a thing you can do effectively. Even with your main stat being used for everything, something like Mass Hold takes a lot more investment than you think to land reliably in mid-high reapers. Your melee dps is going to be pretty bad and trying to hold or color spray and having melee dps as a follow up probably is just worse than the actual melee cc options like dire charge/drifting lotus/bard freezes etc.

With the magewright set and augments its possible to do enchant or illusion and get it to work in mid-reapers on lower willsave mobs.
I'm trying to make a build which fits my playstyle and to have it effective in R6.
So far i've been doing a 1ro/2mnk/17wiz. I just hit 20, and i think i will just TR. My issue isnt with spells not hitting, its with the EK mechanics themselves. The AoE attacks in the tree
are slow-ish/clunky (don't flow well with attacks), don't work well while jumping, and the secondary effect isn't that impressive. With mobs running out of range and other group members kiting,
having one decent attack on a 30 second cooldown is just not worth it. The AP's are also spread very thin on this particular build.
I have thought of a build i think will be better, have better defenses and will flow smoothly. Going back to chaaaainnz baby!
