Monk bomber - Farming Act IV Inferno aspects
I have been using this trick, it's highly random and this does not guarantee phat lewtz but it has the potential to drop a 1k DPS weapon or high level blue.
Even if you aren't on Act IV Inferno you can get to this waypoint and run this farm session. It's a "trick" that will eventually be fixed I'm sure but for now, go for it. If you do not have Act IV Inferno: Prime Evil then do the following, otherwise skip to next section. You MUST be level 60 and have access to Inferno difficulty. 1. Getting to Act IV Inferno: Prime Evil
2. Monk Bomb spec Check out this Skill setup. The two major components are Serenity with reflect rune, and more importantly Mantra of Retribution with additional reflect damage. The goal is to reflect the damage that the Aspects are doing back to themselves and killing them within 3 seconds. Here is the kicker....you want to die. When the Aspect attacks you, you reflect your mitigated damage back to the Aspect. So after armor and resistances, it's not going to be a large amount of damage. HOWEVER....you have Tyrael for this quest and he is invulnerable. He also has NO RESISTANCES which means when the Aspect attacks him, Mantra of Retribution is reflecting the full unmitigated 60% back to the Aspect. The Aspect will attack you as long as you are alive, so you need to die. You also need to time activating your Mantra for RIGHT before you die because for 3 seconds after you activate it, you and your allies will reflect 100% (guessing with rune?) damage back to the attacker. 3. What to do
Why do you apply Exploding Palm? Because when the Aspect blows up, it will explode doing 30% of IT's total health as damage. If there are any mobs around, this should finish them off. It's not necessary but it's a good idea. The Aspects should provide you with two blues, usually level 60 req. Happy farming! |
