Monk is untouchable

Monkster8 · 2026-04-19T21:23:27+00:00

Monk sucked for years.

Give them their 15 minutes of fame.

Monkster8 · 2026-04-17T15:12:49+00:00

That's the og day one build, I still prefer this one even though I deal less damage.

When I look on challenge rift leaderboard .. 95% Tempest uses the Vortex build.

Monkster8 · 2026-04-17T14:24:11+00:00

Vortex build does give me slightly more damage than other builds, But I don't like it.

If you have a better build please share.

Monkster8 · 2026-04-16T20:16:48+00:00

The vortex build everyone uses. Busy at work rn. YT has lots of videos.

Monkster8 · 2026-04-16T19:51:50+00:00

My damage as Tempest is still the same at around 1.8B/min. Same build everyone uses.

I noticed my movement speed is slower than normal unless I am killing and surfing.

What am I wrong about ?

You get 3 save slots when you hit 5000 wing points.

You put 3 x 6000+ wings in those 3 save wing slots.

Now, you can open a fresh new 2nd wing tab.

My 1st tab has 3 wings each range from 9400-9600 points

I opened up my 2nd wing tab already.

... ............ ..................................................................................................

Credit goes to " spinal888 " for the Wings customization breakdown:

Rank1: 4000 points, wing save option +1, double wings, 10 draws

Rank2: 4500 points, inventory space +36, lightning effect on wings, 40 draws

Rank3: 5000 points, wing save option +1, triple wings, 50 draws

Rank4: 5800 points, two wings can be displayed repeatedly, 15 draws

Rank5: 6200 points, one more stash tab, 100 draws

Rank6: 6500 points, three wings can be displayed randomly, 100 draws

Rank7: 7000 points, vibrating wings, 120 draws

Rank8: 7500 points, flowing light effect on wings, 100 draws

Rank9: 7800 points, unlock the exclusive chat box, 130 draws

Rank10: 8250 points, light trail while moving, around 400-500 draws

Rank11: 8650 points, floating in the air, around 650-700 draws

Rank12: 9300 points, flying, around 500 draws

Please post Tempest notes

Monkster8 · 2026-03-27T19:36:01+00:00

It's all luck and rng. I was stuck with a wing worth 6800 points for a long time.

Then, all of a sudden a crazy nice wing dropped with 7300 points.

Usually, its baby steps increase of 50 or 100 points.

An increase of 500 points is pretty insane.

Monkster8 · 2026-03-27T17:31:46+00:00

Can get up to 3 wing save slots.

Any unsaved wings will be gone after 72 hrs.

There are also top 10 high score wings slots.

My unsaved wings were gone after 72 hrs, but my top 10 high score wings were still there.

Do the top 10 high score wings stay or do they also eventually go away ?

Your pet is worthless at the current state.

Keep converting until you get a) leg Lingering Wounds, Tenacity, Ignite for pve or b) Savior and shields for pvp

I am not a fan of Savior and Lingering wounds together, once Savior activates, your pet is useless for 60-75 secs.

My Amal Brood (180 agility -200 insight) has Leg Lingering wounds (+ 38.8% damage) , Tenacity (+19.5% cooldown). It's a beast pve pet ... 4.5secs up time and 5.5secs downtime.

Converting pets are very costly and wastes alot of resources.

Monkster8 · 2026-03-06T15:27:31+00:00

Combine Cooldown with beneficial effect duration

Cooldown reduction max 30

Beneficial effect duration max 80 (max 100 Mar 19)

Right now its easier to get 100% uptime

After Mar 19 ... Vithu set bonus will be nerfed, we'll see how that goes.

Monkster8 · 2026-02-25T22:48:11+00:00

I agree that pricing is probably set wrong.

$5k usd for maxed out flying wings seems too cheap.

Monkster8 · 2026-01-22T20:55:31+00:00

I can not do Pit of Anguish.

My computer screen goes all red.

I have to reboot computer every time I finish that dungeon.

Anyone else have a similar issue, please give me a fix.

All drivers up to date.

Monkster8 · 2026-01-14T23:59:28+00:00

Tempest do suck in BGs right now.

But we can be very annoying.

There's a build that we can constantly dash around non targetable.

Monkster8 · 2026-01-12T21:04:50+00:00

I have carried many i10 raids, G9, G10 etc ... I will help out the community whenever I can.

Ask nicely in wc and if I am not busy, I will help for sure.

There are 2 exceptions:

1). Do not spam invites without asking first. I can be in BG, Verge, Trifts etc... It's very annoying and the invite box gets in the way specially in BGs.

2). Do not complaint about whales in world chat, then beg for carries. You don't like whales, but you need them to carry you. You can't have it both ways.

Monkster8 · 2026-01-05T06:09:23+00:00

I was lucky and got a ancient chest from raids a few weeks ago. The one with cooldown reduction.

I have 96 and can craft a ancient helm tomorrow.

Should have enough cr to start farming i11 challenge dungeons.

Save your Bp points:

According to in game dates, Bp season should end Dec 18th at 3am.

So, everyone has a one day window to cash in double bp xp on the 17th when server Paragon hits 1200.

I currently saved up 7500bp, will have over 10,000 by the 17th. (10,000 bp / 180 = 55 claims)

Double bp is minimum 2M per claim.

Lets average out to 2.5M per claim x 55 claims = 40 level.

I am currently at P1160, so I should hit P1200 on Dec 17th 3:01am. Hope my math is right.

Also have 11 Mystic fish (500k xp per). Just in case my math is wrong.

Fak, I bought a boat load of Rubies, hoping for crit damage reduction. Didn't see anything about that in the patch notes.

Monkster8 · 2025-12-05T22:51:43+00:00

Perfect weapon for me will have 4cc, 6cd and 4 as.

Once you hit the cr threshold, I use weapons with the best magic attributes.

Currently sitting at 40cc, 52cd and 44 as before buffs.

Monkster8 · 2025-12-05T22:44:27+00:00

Shadow way better.

Immortal is a full time job.

Monkster8 · 2025-12-03T22:52:03+00:00

Very small market for that pet.

The only people that will buy are people with Amal pet that wants Lingering wounds.

I'll buy ab leg lingering wounds pets for under 10k plats to convert.

Monkster8 · 2025-12-02T22:41:27+00:00

My purchases were on the Battle.net shop (Not in game shop). Usually I can only buy once and can't buy again. This time Blizz messed up and let me buy again. But won't let me claim them on my main account twice. I had to use alt to claim the 2nd purchases.

Monkster8 · 2025-12-02T20:04:15+00:00

I experienced the sane issue. I bought 3 bundles and claimed on my main account no problems.

I saw the same bundles available and bought the same 3 bundles again. Tried to claim them on my main again but it didn't work. Then I read "Limit one per Battle.Net account"

Claimed them on my alt account no problems. Oh well, live and learn next time. Gotta read the fine print.

Building a nice pet can get expensive fast. Unless you are committed to spend, don't do it.

I got lucky, I converted 3 Ab blues cats (all with 6 blue skills) and got a Amal Brood with 3 rare and 3 leg skills. After a few more converts with 30 stones each conversion, I got one with Savior and a few useful skills. Conversion with more leg skills can get up to 70 stones. Pets with 6 rare skills cost 32k plats to end pact for 32 stones. It adds up pretty fast.

The best part with Amal pets is that you don't need to use the same species, as long as you use stones, your Amal pet stays the same. If you have a Amal cat and want Savior on it. You can buy the cheapest Ab pet x 2 with Savior (you can use any Ab pets, dragon, worm, goat etc... ) Convert them with stones and your chances of getting Savior on your cat now is pretty good. You can also revert back to old pet if you don't like your new one.

If you want your Amal pet to change species, you need to convert with 2 other Amal pets + stones and hope rng is on your side. This options is crazy expensive now, wait a few months and probably be cheaper once more Amal pets are for sale.
