Strimtom's Falcon Striker - R10 Monk build

[gudal84]

I'm going to have to agree. I'm coming back from a long hiatus and leveling several characters in parallel (THF Barb, Fist Monk, Acid Warlock and Fire Sorc). The Sorceror is so bonkers I don't even know where to begin. It's just login, turn on all metamagics, start quest on Elite or R1 and one shot rooms. You don't even stop moving. Just sprint and cast...

The big problem with this tactic for me is... If I oneshot stuff I wanna increase difficulty to where I dont oneshot stuff. I absolutely hate zerging through heroics. And when u end up then doing higher reapers instead so as not to oneshot stuff and zerg through heroics, then the sorc defences might become a problem, cause u just increased enemy saves and damage at the same time

Bit of a necro but any updates to this build for current tier?

Not really. Nothing much has changed with handwrap monk in quite some time. Go Pure, Go Aasimar, Go Big. It's mainly that other classes got a lot better with 2H fighting strikethrough + inqui + alchi + sorcs generally just zerging everything under level 26. The stat squish also hit monks badly since they lost double the modifier to AC.

The optimal feywild gear layout might be a little different, but the feat list is still pretty optimal. I like vorpal strikes or improved martial arts at 24. Note that mass frog is going away, so the Epic level stuff will change. Enhancements are pretty standard as 41/42 into Shintao, 31 into Falconry, season remainder to taste.

Hey, could you please revamp your epic destinies portion and be a bit more in depth with it ? confused look at it with you selection.

I see this
Legendary Dreadnought
Legendary Tactics III, Extra Action Boost III, Constitution
Imp. Combat Expertise, Damage Boost III
Haste Boost III
(none)
Advancing Blows, Devastating Critical
Master's Blitz, Pulverize but there is a lot on the tree to select in between all of that. or maybe post a screen shot of the epic destiny trees for easy matching ?

havent played since 2011 when none of this existed and looking run a optimal build. so far have been following this build but need this bit of info to complete it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

this build was from 2018 and none of the epic destiny info would be accurate with the epic revamp most builds on the forum are old and would need to be updated with new gear and epic pass in mind

Personally, I prefer less GMoF.

I went 36AP in GMoF for EIN and opposing force
...8AP in LD for mantle and combat brute
...21AP in SD for epic strike and both meld upgrades.

I like the SD epic strike better than drifting lotus for most situations, except when soloing and opening on some mobs. And having ddoor is very nice. Also I find the +1W on the dread mantle more beneficial than the GMoF mantle. I also considered cocoon in primal, and SD mantle with all upgrades (its actually just better on a monk than GMoF).
