A highly mobile build with plenty of explosive attacks that’s great for speedruns – it also looks really cool.
Skills
This build mainly focuses around Seven-Sided Strike and Exploding Palm, allowing the Skills to work together to create many explosions. You will use the Impending Doom Rune for Exploding Palm for more powerful explosions, and the Sustained attack Rune for Seven-Sided Strike to reduce its cooldown.
Along with these two Skills, the other core Skills are:
- Way of the Hundred Fists – this will be your Spirit generator (and will apply Exploding Palm with this build).
- Cyclone Strike – pulls enemies in, allowing your explosions to hit more enemies.
- Dashing Strike and Epiphany – increases mobility and survivability.
Passives
- Beacon of Ytar – for extra Cooldown Reduction
- Harmony, The Guardian’s Path, and Near Death Experience can be used to increase survivability.
- Mythic Rhythm or Momentum can be used to increase damage.
Equipment
The primary armor will be the Uliana’s Stratagem set. You will need five pieces of it for the full effect (if you Cube the Royal Ring of Grandeur). Gundo Gear, The Fist of Az’Turrasq, and Convention of Elements increase Exploding Palm’s damage and allow the effect to spread easier. Lion’s Claw will increase the hits of Seven-Sided Strike, and the Captain Crimson’s Trimmings set will increase both damage and survivability.
Gogok of Swiftness, Bane of the Trapped, and Bane of the Stricken are generally the best Legendary Gems. Gogok of Swiftness will greatly increase your Cooldown Reduction, Attack Speed, and Dodge, while the other two will further increase your damage.
