Noooooooooooo, it's amazing! -
Just to give you an idea of the build I'm using for my Monk at the moment - http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...Ygj!abd!aa.baa
I've switched things around a little. Water Ally is turning out to be very helpful and is doing a lot more damage than I thought it would, so I'm keeping this active at all times. I am however, still considering swapping it out for Seven Sided Strike.
Teleporting in with LMB, I can use Exploding Palm then immediately activate Mantra of Conviction for a 36% damage boost on that target for 3 seconds. Killing them during these 3 seconds causes the AOE burst that takes everyone else out around them.
This is why I'm considering changing Water Ally out for Seven Sided Strike. Boss fights.
Getting that 36% boost then using that strike on a single target would completely annihilate it.
The blinding skill is forever useful, and Serenity acting as a self heal + 3 second invincibility with relatively low cooldown is absolutely sublime.
Aiming for the Mantra boosting rune quickly, then **** gets real.Comment

You can still only use one skill from each category... All elective mode does is let you swap which slots the categories are... Meaning you could have your defensive ability on mouse 1, if you really wanted.Originally posted by dataDave View PostComment

That's completely incorrect.Originally posted by rmoxon View Post
See the build I just posted up that I'm currently using, making active use of 2x Defensive.
Previous build was 3x Defensive.

Really? Oh, didn't realise that...
Hmm, you'd think they would have explained that better then instead of just leaving it hidden in the menus.
How do you do it then? Becuase I couldn't find a way to do it.Comment

Yeah, it's a little bit weird how they've handled Elective Mode! I guess it's to help people new to the series make varied and useful builds, even if they're not making the most out of it.
Once you've got Elective Mode on, you'll see when you're assigning a skill to a button, that you can use the big Left/Right arrows next to the skills to change category. I'll screenshot it when I'm home tonight.Comment

He was being sarcastic. It'll be funny if Supergoal doesn't check back here and has been put off a potentially great gameOriginally posted by Supergoal View PostI'm not sure if you're being serious but I'll heed your words

Thanks, this has actually helped a lot. I was finding all of the barbarians 4th and 5th type of abilities useless, so being able to swap them for things I will actually use has given me a lot more combat options now.Originally posted by Silvergun X View PostYeah, it's a little bit weird how they've handled Elective Mode!

I can now use leap to jump into the middle of a group of enemies and then stomp to stun them and then slice them all to bits. Brilliant!
Being able to make bosses bleed as well as being able to use my big powerful hammer attack move on them should be great too.Last edited by rmoxon; 18-05-2012, 12:13.Comment

Exactly, there's some REALLY nice stuff you can get out of it by combining same category skills. Really really fun.

I picked up some mad gear from the auction house last night for like 200 gold. If you pick your primary attribute as a requirement and search for yellows then you can add a ton of dps onto whatever the weapon normally gives.
eg. new crossbow gives 22.8 dps but because it has +15 dexterity, that goes up to like 27.8 dpsComment

Good call!
I didn't think of that!

Suffering some unbelievable lag right now. Anything I click on does not function. Be it characters and even trying to quit the game. Over 1000 latency and half of my screen textures have disappeared completely. Thumbs!Comment

Thanks to Kaido's amazing tip my DPS has gone from 420 odd to 726. Nightmare has just become a complete faceroll.Comment

I just looked up the term 'Faceroll'
