what builds does everyone enjoy playing these days?

I'm playing 4x crusaders. They can do t4 rifts, but t3 is usually a cakewalk. Strangely they are more fun to play because they move slower and it makes it easier to multibox.

I'm also trying out 4x WD's. Like Ellay said, 1/2 the pets stand around doing nothing. But I did notice if you spec each guy into a different Big Bad Voodoo rune, it stacks. So when I pop it, my sheet dps goes up to like 1.4 mil from like 600k.

The downside to the WD pet build is definitely the fact that all your pets can't reach the mobs. So you get your little voodoo guys blocking your gargantuans that you just popped. But, some mobs will teleport of fear you around, so you're not always safe with the pets blocking you.

The other downside is your need some really specific gear to make the most out of the WD pet build.

The crusaders are a lot of fun. I really just need a few more specific drops. This is a link to my main crusader: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/K.../hero/44419267

That's a pretty well geared crusader :)
I wonder if a monk in the mix would help speed things up any.

I'm seriously curious as to how you keep all your monks in line!! It seems so difficult, especially with nightmare/wormhole/vortex mobs :(

I regroup them quite a bit, I've seen some players that can navigate with their characters spread really far apart. I can't operate that way - so I just find a nice nook or wall and push them back together whenever they get spread.
Additionally I have keys F1-F4 that control the mouse for each window, if one drifts too far I can click that one back into the group quickly.

ISBoxer's Wizard sets up "Hold to Control" Mapped Keys for this.

I did try adding a monk as my main for a while, and it was great to have an extra mantra up - crusaders only have 3 total. I remember a post you made a long time ago about stacking classes and the monk auras - which is why I tried it.

So the Monk added unity - 20% damage increase, but I had to use the avoidance aura I think, because conviction doesn't trigger the unity bonus. I also have the skill that makes enemies do 20% less damage on hit.

After they buffed crusaders, I moved them all to crusader. Now that I have a Thunder Fury on this acct, maybe I'll try monk again as the lead with TF. This is my Monk: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/K.../hero/30050343

They're pretty self-explanatory -- Set a Hotkey for them and when you hold it that Slot is the only one that's being focused/controlled.

If you need further assistance with this then you should start a new thread.

So I've leveled up some more monks, and I'm experimenting with Ellay's monk build. So far I like it; and if nothing else, it will get my 'everything monk' geared up quicker. (Pretty much decided that I need a monk in every team at this point, lol.) I was wondering if you have experimented with working in exploding palm/the flesh is weak on one of the monks?
