I am extremely confused with regards to itemization. I have been running Greater Rifts on lvl 150 on ps4 and the set pieces drop but they suck. How do I improve the stats on set items? I'm seeing monks with like 3,000MILLION dps and 20 mill in health regeneration. 

 

The other day some monk gave me a bunch of gear that sky rocketed my dps but i need to figure out how to get items this good.

the skills makes no sense to me. I can't choose the combination listed, and the skill positions (ie the secondary) simply isn't a choice. For my secondaries I have Lashing Tail Kick, Tempest Rush and Wave of Light, yet both of these are listed as skills and are under 2 different skill slots. What the hell am I not getting here?

There is an option called Elective Mode for skills, found by going to Options > Gameplay.  This allows you to equip any ability on any action slot (1, 2, 3, 4, LMB, and RMB) so long as it is not mutually exclusive with other skills (think: Monk Mantras, which are explicitly 1 active).

Was just checking your guide out for a few tips and noticed you mentioned the Inna's Mantra set from Haedrig's Gift as you complete Chapter's 1-4 on the seasonal journey, but I noticed that it actually inks the Monkey King Garb, not sure if this has been pointed out or not, or whether it's supposed to show that, but it can be a bit misleading for people new to rolling Monk.

Any thoughts on a Inna/Sunwuku (5/3 with Ring of Royal Grandeur) build? 

I've cleared up to GR 54 solo, but I think I need a Vengeful Wind to really pack a punch.

Your guide makes reference to "consider investing bloodshards into the slot even after the early game gambling strat". Could you clarify what this early game gambling strat is referring to?

The gambling strategy is described in section 5. If the description is not clear, please let us know.

Ah. So it's not referring to running a challenge rift right after the season starts and using the 300 bloodshards from that to gamble for an item with an excellent affix at a low level when Kadala's item pool is smallest?

I've heard mentions of a strategy like that, but no clear guidance on what to do when. Was hoping that your reference meant you had some specifics somewhere on the site that I had missed. Oh well.

Deadset told me he would add the strategy to the Seasonal Guide and make slight changes to the Levelling guide. Thanks for telling us about the strategy!

Good day! I'm new to the game and i read your guide to help me along, i'm now a level 25 monk in campaign mode.

I'd just like to clarify if the guide says for monks to dual-wield or to have shields?

Thanks!

Unless I missed something, the guide does not specify whether you want to use shields or not in general. From my experience, you'll usually want to dual wield or use two-handed weapons to allow for faster progression, but if the shield provides a considerable upgrade, or if you feel like you are lacking in the survivability department, you should equip it in most cases.

In the end, the items at low levels don't really have a huge impact, as you will be changing them often, and as a result don't matter nearly as much as they do later in the game at level 70 (unless you really want to speedrun the whole campaign, that is), so don't feel too pressured when choosing gear at lower levels.

Good luck in your journey!

Thank you for this guide and keeping it updated! I noticed you mentioned on this guide that the Kyoshiro's Soul belt is essential for the Sunwuko Lashtail Kick build yet the linked build has Witching Hour and doesn't mention Kyoshiro's Soul.

Hello, 

im currently working on a monk alt, and I noticed the current leveling build is no compatible with current patch, unless I’m overlooking something.  Sweeping wind, dashing strike and exploding palm are all in the same skillslot now.  Will there be an updated leveling build in the foreseeable future? Your guides are very helpful and an update would be much appreciated!

 

ps. I should also mention that I’m playing on Nintendo switch so I don’t know if that effects skill slots at all or not.

Thanks!

In options, there should be an option to enable elective mode. Once it is enabled, you will be able to put skills of same type into different skillslots.

Note that you can viably alternate this slot for Mystic Ally Mystic Ally Air Ally Air Ally and your Chant of Resonance Chant of Resonance passive for Unity Unity, depending on your success with a gambling strategy outlined below, in the gearing section.

If you are replacing your mantra with Mystic Ally in the event you get The Crudest Boots from gambling, won't Unity do nothing for us?

      What's Coming in Diablo 3 Season 36?
      By Stan
      Find out everything you need to know about Diablo 3's upcoming Season 36!
      Highlights
      Season 36 starts on September 12 at 5 p.m. PDT/CEST/KST. Players can utilize the powers of the Prime and Lesser Evils in the upcomng season. You will equip 1 of 3 Prime Evil Soul Shard in your Helm slot and 1 of 4 Lesser Evil Soul Shard in your Weapon slot, each offering game-changing bonuses that scale up as you upgrade them using Hellforge Embers. Soul Shards drop from anywhere. Haedrig's Gift sets for Season 36 are as follows: Monk: Uliana’s Stratagem Demon Hunter: Natalya’s Vengeance Crusader: Seeker of the Light Wizard: Vyr’s Amazing Arcana Barbarian: Immortal King’s Call Witch Doctor: Spirit of Arachyr Necromancer: Trag’Oul’s Avatar Seasonal cosmetic rewards include Chest and Gloves slots of the Conqueror Set, portraits themed after the High Heavens.  The Guardian journey will earn you the Terror Resurrected Portrait and the Lesser Mummy Pet. For more details about the upcoming season, don't forget to check out Blizzard's official preview linked below.

      Sanctuary needs you to answer its call for aid in Season 36: The Lords of Hell. Starting on September 12 at 5 p.m. PDT/CEST/KST, Nephalem can harness the power of The Lords of Hell Season, which first debuted with Season 25. For an in-depth look at the now-permanent Rites of Sanctuary and Visions of Enmity themes and more, take a look below.

      Haedrig’s Gift
      Season 36: The Lords of Hell
      Though the Black Soulstone has been destroyed, lingering fragments of The Lords of Hell once contained therein still persist in Sanctuary. These Soul Shards hold immense power—power that once belonged to the Prime and Lesser Evils. Cunning Nephalem who find and wield these Soul Stones must exercise caution. Power can be alluring, and the road to the Burning Hells is paved with good intentions...
      First seen in Season 25, you can embrace evil by infusing yourself with the essences of Hell’s Lords using Soul Shards. Embark on your Season Journey to discover and upgrade demonic Soul Shards based on the seven Lords of Hell. By embodying a Prime and Lesser Evil, you will inflict new forms of pain and suffering on the demons of Sanctuary. We can't wait for you to get your hands on Soul Shards and start unlocking your true power.
      Nephalem can find seven unique Soul Shards (based on the seven Lords of Hell), which give you new demonic powers. One of three Prime Evil Soul Shards can be equipped into Helms and one of four Lesser Evil Soul Shards can be equipped into Weapons. Each Soul Shard can be upgraded three times using a new seasonal-exclusive consumable, the Hellforge Ember.
      Soul Shards and Hellforge Embers can drop from anywhere in Sanctuary, but Soul Shards have a higher chance to drop from Bosses. Soul Shards cannot be traded, but can be salvaged or utilized in Caldesann’s Despair. You may only equip one Prime Evil Soul Shard and one Lesser Evil Soul Shard at a time. Lastly, Soul Shards and Hellforge Embers only drop in Seasonal play, and will not transfer to your non-seasonal character when the season ends. Keep reading for a look into the capabilities for each of the Soul Shard powers.
      Prime Evil Soul Shards

The pool of blood now collects Rift Progress Orbs. Dregs of Lies
      Base Power: You deal 25% less damage. Your pets deal 25% increased damage. Additional Powers: Killing an elite enemy reduces all your active cooldowns by 5 seconds. On receiving fatal damage, spawn a shadow that prevents your death, restores your health to 35%, and grants +225 All Resist to all party members while it is active. The shadow only lasts 15 seconds. Each time your pet hits an enemy, your damage is increased by 0.5% for 5 seconds. This stacks up to 100 times. When you reach 100 stacks, the stacks quickly reset to 0. Remnant of Pain
      Base Power: Your Critical Hit Chance is reduced by 15%. Attacks against Incapacitated enemies are automatically critical hits. Additional Powers: Hitting enemies with cold damage has a 50% chance to freeze them. Cold skill damage is increased to frozen targets by 20%. Gain passability while your movement speed bonus is over 50%. When you move through enemies you knock them back and stun them for 2 seconds. When you critically hit an enemy you increase the attack speed all players by 5% for 5 seconds. Max 10 stacks. Essence of Anguish
      Base Power: Every time you deal poison damage to an enemy you increase your cooldown reduction and movement speed by 2.5% while your damage received is increased by 5% for 10 seconds. Max 10 stacks. Additional Powers: Your movement speed and cooldown reduction can be increased up to 15 times by dealing poison damage to an enemy.

If you’d rather max out your kill count with Cursed Chests, Curses! and Stars Align will be right up your alley. Those who enjoy seeing how far they can go without Set Items will get a kick out of The Thrill and Super Human. Finally, if you’re keen to show off your mastery of various Class Sets, Years of War and Dynasty will be available for you to attempt once more.

      Haedrig’s Gift

The set you receive depends on the class of the character you’re playing when you open each Haedrig’s Gift. To collect a full Class Set, you’ll need to open all three on the same character. Here are the sets granted by Haedrig’s Gift in Season 24:
      Monk: Uliana’s Stratagem Demon Hunter: Natalya’s Vengeance Crusader: Seeker of the Light Wizard: Vyr’s Amazing Arcana Barbarian: Immortal King’s Call Witch Doctor: Spirit of Arachyr Necromancer: Trag’Oul’s Avatar

      By Staff
      Blizzard has posted an official preview of Diablo 3's upcoming Season 35 which begins on June 6!
      Season 35 borrows the Seasonal theme debuted in Season 27 that revolves around a stacking buff that has various effects depending on the number of enemies you kill.
      Check out the official preview below for more details!

      Sanctuary needs you to answer its call for aid in Season 35: Eternal Conflict. Starting on June 6 at 5 p.m. PDT/CEST/KST, Nephalem can harness the power of the Eternal Conflict theme, which first debuted with Season 27. For an in-depth look at what’s coming, take a gander below. Also, Season 34 will officially come to an end on June 1.

      Seasonal Conquest
      Haedrig’s Gift
      Season Theme
      Season 35 is the Season of Eternal Conflict and with it come an awesome array of killstreak rewards! Inspired by the war waged between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells, you‘ll earn increasingly powerful effects as you unleash destruction upon your foes. So rack up those kills and clear the battlefields in the name of Sanctuary!
      All players will benefit from the Pandemonium bonus during Season 35. For each stack of this buff, you’ll receive a small boost to movement speed and bonus damage, ultimately capping out at 50% movement speed and 100% damage at 1000 stacks. In addition, reaching certain killstreak goals will trigger a special effect and cause even more mayhem on the battlefield:
      15 Kills: Exploding Chickens seek and destroy 30 Kills: A wide Frost Nova freezes enemies 50 Kills: Corpses rain from the sky 100 Kills: Five massive Energy Twisters are unleashed 150 Kills: Dark Geysers form beneath enemies 200 Kills: Treasure chests fall from the sky 300 Kills: A ring of fire engulfs everything 400 Kills: Meteors hail from above 500 Kills: Angels descend upon the battlefield to fight for your cause 1000 Kills: ????? This Season, we’re taking action on the great feedback we received from the community about Season 35’s Triune buff. With the killstreak mechanic, we can make sure the benefit is always traveling with you and something you won’t have to constantly reposition for. There’s still more room for exploration and innovation in the future, and in the meantime, we challenge you to push these killstreaks to their limits and discover its ultimate reward! We think you’ll find it devilishly delightful.
      Return to Top
      Season Cosmetic Rewards
      Beginning with Season 17, we began reintroducing previous rewards to make them available to players who may have missed them the first time around. For Season 35, this means awards originally available from Season 11 are returning. Pet collectors will be pleased to see the return of the Emerald Dragon. . .and, in addition to the Pant and Boot slots of the exclusive Conqueror Set, the Treasure Goblins portraits will be available.

      However, we know it’s nice to have something new to aim for if you’ve participated in previous Seasons. We’re continuing to provide new End of Journey rewards as introduced in Season 17, with two new cosmetic ones for those who complete the entirety of the Season journey. Prove your worth by completing the Season 35 journey to earn the Lacuni Cub pet and the Chopping Block portrait.

      Diablo 3 Season 34 Delayed a Week
      By Staff
      Blizzard have moved the launch of Season 34 back a week!
      While it was supposed to start today, Blizzard cite players not wanting the new D3 and D4 season launches to overlap on the same week, and needing more time to get the season properly set up, as the previous one ended early.

      Hi all
      We have shifted the start for the new season of Diablo III to next week.This is due to a few items:
      We received a good amount of feedback that many didn’t want overlap with the first weekend of Diablo IV’s new season. We agree so we are building out that gap and will be more mindful of that going forward.
      This will help us properly ensure account states migrate over as we had an issue with the prior season rolling early and us having to kick things back on.
      You can find the exact times on our Season 34 blog.

      The ongoing Season 33 ends on January 19.

Cosmetic rewards for the patch are as follows:
      Completing the Season 34 Guarian journey grants the Book of Cain pet and the Lost Civilization Portrait Frame.
      Haedrig's Gift will award you with the following sets in Season 34:
      Barbarian - Horde of the Ninety Savages Crusader - Aegis of Valor Demon Hunter - Gears of Dreadlands Monk - Patterns of Justice Witch Doctor - Mundunugu’s Regalia Wizard - Typhon’s Veil Necromancer - Masquerade of the Burning Carnival For more information about Season 34, check out the official blog post below.

      Sanctuary needs you to answer its call for aid in Season 34: Light’s Calling. Starting on January 24 at 5 p.m. PST/CET/KST, Nephalem can harness the power of the Light’s Calling theme, which first debuted with Season 27. For an in-depth look at what’s coming, take a gander below. Also, Season 33 will officially come to an end on January 19.

      Season Theme
      Looking to turn the tide of an unremitting war between light and darkness, the Angels of the High Heavens have embedded a token of their righteousness in Sanctuary. Cunning Nephalem seeking an advantage in combat will undergo an angelic trial, crystallizing a symbol of their morality into pure, otherworldly perfection. The specific celestial force imbued within by the divine is unknown—an answer waiting to be sought on the battlefield. Go forth, Nephalem!
      Season 34 reintroduces Light’s Calling. Valiant Nephalem who recover Angelic Crucibles, a new consumable item, may use them to Sanctify any equippable Legendary item, infusing it with one of three new class-specific powers at random. We wanted to use Angelic Crucibles to lean into the expertise of each class, further exemplifying its respective prowess, but through a nuanced lens. The High Heavens are home to ethereal splendor, bursting with boundless radiance—we wanted to provide players with a taste of untainted power as doled out from Heaven itself.

      Season Cosmetic Rewards
      In Season 34, awards originally available from Season 10 are returning. In addition to the Head and Shoulder slots of the exclusive Conqueror Set, you’ll be able to earn the Black Soulstone themed portraits and the scholarly Loremaster pennant first introduced in Season 10.

      However, we know it’s nice to have something new to aim for if you’ve participated in previous Seasons. We’re continuing to provide new End of Journey rewards as introduced in Season 17, with two new cosmetic ones for those who complete the entirety of the Season journey. Prove your worth alongside the Shades of the Nephalem and complete the Season 34 Guardian Journey to earn the Book of Cain pet and the Lost Civilization Portrait Frame.

      Season Journey Rewards
      If you’ve been diligently slaying demons before and reached Conqueror in the Season Journey each time, you’ve surely accrued a few extra stash tabs. You’ll earn one additional tab each Season by finishing the Conqueror tier, up to a maximum of five:
      Guardian of Sanctuary: Finish a level 70 Nephalem Rift on Torment XIII difficulty within five minutes. Gem of My Life: Level three Legendary Gems to level 55. All I Do is Win: Complete two Conquests this Season. Life Goes On: Kill Maghda at level 70 in under 15 seconds on Torment XIII difficulty. Money Ain’t a Thang: Slay Greed on Torment XIII difficulty. Treasure Goblins outside of Nephalem Rifts will sometimes open portals to Greed’s domain, The Vault. Take U There: Reach Greater Rift Level 60 Solo. Greater Rift keystones can be obtained from any Nephalem Rift guardian. Power Amplification: Use Kanai’s Cube to augment an Ancient Legendary item with a level 50+ gem. Cubic Reconfiguration: Use Kanai’s Cube to reforge a Legendary item. Return to Top
      Seasonal Conquest
      Seasonal Conquests are additional goals you can complete as part of our Season Journey. To earn all the cosmetic rewards, you'll need to complete at least three of the Conquests below. The challenges available in Season 34 include:
      Sprinter and Speed Racer task you with completing Acts I through V at max level in under one hour. Want to go fast while killing things? Boss Mode and Worlds Apart are right up your alley. On A Good Day and I Can’t Stop are making a return, if leveling your Legendary Gems is more your thing. Finally, if you’re keen to prove your mastery of various Class Sets, Years of War and Dynasty will be returning along with Masters of the Universe and Masters of Sets. Best of luck! Return to Top
      Haedrig’s Gift

      Finally, the Class Sets rewarded for completing certain chapters in the Season Journey courtesy of Haedrig’s Gift have rotated once more. We’ve listed the available Sets below. For those new to Seasons, here’s how it works.
      Completing Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the Season Journey will reward you with three of Haedrig’s Gifts. These contain a few pieces from one of your Class Sets. Players can only unlock one Class Set in this manner per Season across Hardcore and Non-Hardcore, so choose wisely!
      The set you receive depends on the class of the character you’re playing when you open each Haedrig’s Gift. To collect a full Class Set, you’ll need to open all three on the same character. In this season, Haedrig's Gift will grant all-new class sets introduced with previous Seasons.
      Here are the sets granted by Haedrig’s Gift in Season 34:
      Barbarian - Horde of the Ninety Savages Crusader - Aegis of Valor Demon Hunter - Gears of Dreadlands Monk - Patterns of Justice Witch Doctor - Mundunugu’s Regalia Wizard - Typhon’s Veil Necromancer - Masquerade of the Burning Carnival Return to Top
