what builds does everyone enjoy playing these days?

Philosophically blowing through t1 is probably the fastest way to get legendary items. I am sort of planning a mixed group later. In that vein, there is a prime monk who will get first shot at set items and such. There's a lot to be said for cross class symmetry. So maybe make sense to plan the final arrangements and work backwards.

Done that and not the most efficient for T1. Sure u will kill fast, but the problem with this game is movement speed. Even if u kill groups/packs in 1 second, most of the time is spent moving around from pack to pack. If u record several Normal difficulty sessions, u will notice that more than 70% of the time is spent just walking around the damn maps and not killing. That's why I switched to 4 TR monks when I need to clear something very fast. Still working on gear to do fast T1. Got everything to craft my sets for all monks, but had no time.

So, Deville posted an interesting monk build over on the Isboxer.com forums. (http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26378#p26378) In a tempest rush build and pretty interesting. I switched, and while I died a lot at first, I think that was largely down to failure on my part. A bit of gear rearrangement later, and it's starting to come together nicely.

Honestly, after the speediness I don't know that I can ever play another team. 55% run speed feels terribly slow. LOL. On another note; they are so quick at doing bounties on normal; super run speed + not having to stop to kill; it's madness.

On another note, maybe we should put together an index of builds and sticky it; this thread is becoming somewhat unwieldy.

Glad you liked it I'm doing Act 1 normal bounties in less than 10 minutes with my 4 monks. It's a great way to get rings/gloves for all your chars, tho I wouldn't invest much time on it until 2.0.5 since they are going to buff bounties. For some reason I can't get the damn ring on my forth monk no matter what. I'll have to wait for the buff so Torment bounties are worth anything.

I would say 800k sheet dps wtih 40% fire damage (50%CC / 300%+ CD) is enough to clear T1 rifts/bounties with that setup. A good Maximus roll with 2 piece Sunwuko could be a great setup to faceroll T1 but I don't like to make multiboxing builds that rely on set items since it can be very hard to get those sets for all 4 chars. Maybe have that on 1-2 monks and have those run Conviction/Retaliation since they will have less spirit issues.

Problem with this build is that I don't think it will ever scale enough to get higher than T2-T3. Even if you manage to hit 1m sheet DPS with BiS for each monk, I dont think u can do enough damage to scale to T3+. Unless Blizzard acknowledges that monks suck at higher Torments and give us OP sets like WDs and Barbs have, I dont see it happening even with RNG Jesus at your side.

If u want T6 fast farming, I'll rather go with Wizards with Wand of Woh and Explosion Blast + Wave of Force build. Fire or Arcane. But that build is extremely hard to get all parts for even 1 char. Wand of Woh is very rare, also Hexing Pants of Mr Yan. But if u are super lucky and manage to get all items for 4 Wizards, that's prolly the fastest build for multiboxing T6 right now. That or 4 WDs with 6 piece Jade sets, but those are even harder to get

I really wanna try Crusaders. I see a lot of potential there, but need to do a lot of testing first.
