Need some help - New to Monk

Monk
1

So I haven’t played much of D3 in awhile, I didn’t realize that the seasonal gifts are only for one character… I’ve played Barb all my life and wanted to try it.

This is my monk, it’s just the seasonal gear, I am going mystic ally, I was using fire ally but the earth one helps with knock up. A few of my rolls on my gear I need to redo, I ran out of souls. What should I be looking for? I was doing well but now I am at about torment level 15 for GRs and I just am instaexploding even with high dodge, I was going to go with mystic ally build that icy veins looked fun but with the gear I found so far. This was going well. I will say playing a monk is VERY different than a Barb(Which I’ve been playing since D2 lol).

So any suggestions or ideas? Or should I scale back to the highest GR I can do and just farm gear? I’ve been doing the bounties just so I can get those nightmare rifts to farm. I find it really odd that I can clear high levels of torment bounties but GRs are just -different- some how. Maybe something has changed in a year i haven’t played.

With so much reduction, I don’t get how I can be instapopped unless they are doing so much damage that even with 95% reduction(I think it is with sixth sense off my ammy) that I still can be hit for more than a mil.

I need to put broken crown back on my follower and farm gems, I know this for a fact cause I need more FRDs/FREs.

Anything will be helpful, I was thinking of changing my cyclone to freeze em… and maybe remove mystic ally till I get the full inna set. I haven’t had much in the legendary extraction items. Nothing worth while.

I also haven’t had much luck in finding those uh gifts that give sockets. I’ve think I’ve only found one and that was so many seasons ago XD.

Thank you for your help.

Put together Inna gear to farm TXVI/GR90+.

You can farm shards on your Barb (assuming he is stronger) and roll for Inna gear at Kadala on your Monk.
If you have enough crafting mats you can also craft Daibo’s, keep the best Inna one and re-roll the other ones to other slots with Cube Recipe #3.
Raiment is not the best farming set, and you really don’t need Stricken in your build for Torments.
You could also farm on TXIII (so you can go into Fissures a bit deeper) to get some gear that way considering your gear and paragons.

The barb isn’t stronger… I thought I could do the seasonal journey again and get the barb set… I may just farm off the barb. Where would I farm TXIII? Just do bounties? I mean I can easily do Torment 15 but some reason rifts are different, I don’t remember it being difficult but then again monk play is vastily different than monk.

Considering you are still on the lowish side of paragons, since you have Raiment, just go with it till you farm up another set.
I mentioned TXIII, just because Visions, since as more and more levels it has it becomes harder.
And yes, do bounties and enter any Vision portal that opens, that should be the most efficient way for quick farm up of gear.
Additionally try to complete as much as possible from the Altar, as it will help you with damage and survivability.
