Now while I love this build when I tried it out briefly in T1 - it just didn't put out the DPS to make me feel like it was going to handle the higher torments, and maybe that's not an issue.. because hot damn running at 110% run speed you fly through the area and it looks badass.

Also fighting a boss like the butcher, something just didn't feel right. Doing bounties though and rifts at a low torment - probably the potential to be the fastest in the game.

Anyone know how to beef up the damage?

CDR, thats all. Get as much as you can. Get it on shoulders, weapons and Captain's and/or Born's set. Also the passive Beacon of Ytar. That way u can have your Epiphany most of the time. Also, u should have Seven Side Strike. The synergy with Epiphany Inner Fire is just amazing. Stack a lot of Fire damage and u should be good to go. This is the setup I have for 1 of my TR monks:

With a Cindercoat and Strongarms, Tempest Rush Bluster kills everything on T1 with 1 pass.

Faith of the light looks pretty tempting what with snapshotting. I think I was using fire ally instead. What about sweeping wind?

I was using Fire Ally too, but snapshotting Faith of the Light is way better. I don't like Sweeping Wind because of the spirit cost of recasting it over and over when u dont have targets to hit and also it does little to no damage when u run so fast. Maybe for Normal difficulty when even a quick pass can kill trash, but not for Torment. Might be good for Rift Guardians where the fight takes a few seconds, but for trash, I rather have that 29% from FoL.

Right now I'm at the point were my 4x monks can clear T1 with a single pass just having 2 monks with Epiphany. I'm not running at 110% movement speed because I do less damage in time and its harder to control too, cause u get out of sync more often. I rather use Bluster for TR to do more damage, use less spirit and easier control. I run at 85% which is fairly quick still and a LOT easier to handle.
