You really have alot to learn about building a team, such as including disruption, off-monk defense, good monk bars, etc. so I'll just stick to the one core idea.

Your locust guys aren't going to do any damage. Base dagger damage is still pathetic, so you need to put the insane number of hits you're getting to some kind of use. Repeating strike is anti-synergy since locust's double strikes only occur on non-skill attacks. Conjure element is OK, though I think moebius/blossom spam is better for that route. Spamming "fear me" is kindof funny, just be sure you have a snare/speed buff and some way to deal with balth aura bonder trash in your team. In that case you can use flurry which is 100x safer and your base dagger damage reduction doesn't matter much anyway.

LOL

one thing never take frenzy without a cancel stance. or your as good as dead.

also if your having single monk, making him healing is a bad idea. a Prot monk with prot spirit is a very good idea.

moko · May 03, 2007, 06:31 AM // 06:31

i'm not quite sure how to put this..

-ok first of all, running a sup and 2 majors on an assassins using frenzy..or maybe by +3 you meant major+headpiece, but 3 majors still isn't better..
-your sins do not have any utility at all, such as a speedboost, disruption, possible enchant removal
-your monk is going to suicide with frenzied, an already horrible skill, but thankfully you forgot to add ps, making it even worse!
-healing sucks
-prot owns
-you actually dont have a direct heal, that means, if your sins can't attack, you die, and so do they.

=> redo your monk.
=> redo your assassins.

sorry, but it's a fail.

QFT. All of the feedback so far is correct, except for the advice to use prot spirit (which is an inferior skill to spirit bond in TA).

If I still played the game, I'd pay 50 plat just to play against this team and watch how fast they'd blow themselves up with 3 assassins under frenzy and a monk under frenzied defense. I considered closing this thread to save face for the OP. To the OP -- if the heat (from continued feedback) gets too much for you, then just PM me with a request to close this thread.

I'd like to be playing a SF ele when those sins try to monk stomp.

QFT. I'd actually pay the most to play this while running 3 SF eles with arcane mimicry + arcane echo and a paragon with elemental attunement.

High HP matters, take out majors.

And for the love of GW, redo your monk!

raddaman · May 03, 2007, 11:30 PM // 23:30

1.) I would suggest another offhand attack to be able to Repeating Strike.
2.) Another IAS instead of frenzy might be helpful.
3.) Double strikes don't affect repeating strike, so you have to use another elite.

Ok, dude.... don't get me wrong, but this build sucks....
Healer monk, not a good idea...
3 assassins, it could do, but u have no conditions, no dmg, no interupts, nothing..... they will kill your monk first, and then get 1 assa at a time...
Trust me, there are much better builds with 3 assas and a monk....
Keep trying, nobody got it in first atempt
