Played Monk on PTR last night dueling, it seems that even though there is huge buff regarding Dashing Strike and Wave of Light in particular, seems that the Monk has difficulties in generating spirit without spirit regen on gears. The spirit is at a constant low all the time and I ended up chasing my opponents on foot most of the time.

I'd like to hear ideas from fellow monk on how to go around this or if there is a build that caters for fast spirit regen.

I did the following spreadsheet a while ago when I was working on Perma-TR. Not sure how it fits for PvP, but maybe we can take this as a start. An important trick is to keep the SW always at stack of 3 (Inna Set Bonus helps here in reducing cost of SW). Also, in terms of PvP, you might consider getting SoJ not only for the spirit regen, but also for the max of 30% damage to Elites (in PvP players are to be considered as elites, as I read a blue post somewhere, although it may not work in PTR).

atm i only have SoJ and inna set,even my inna radiance doesn't have spirit regen,need to find one with >2.3 spirit regen, i notice Fist of asturrazq have good spirit regen, is it possible to use two of the same legendary 1 hand weapon at one time?, if not then some rare fist weapon have it as well.

i think > 13 spirit regen per second would suffice :),

I don't think you can equip two of the same legendary 1H.

BTW the Passive Skill - the Guardian's Path which add 35% spirit regen need you to wield 2H. For sheer DPS it would means Skorn which doesn't provide additional spirit regen on the weapon itself.

I think another ring Skull Grasp could also add spirit regen.

I haven't touched PvP, if Templar is not allowed to PvP then there is another 12% spirit regen off.

its better than what i get now.

currently looking at skull grasp, but not for the spirit regen...but zombie dogs cooldown for my wd, damn those are expensive.

maybe i'll try to compare between skorn + guardians path and dual wielding w/o guardians path. my skorn gives high dps, but slow, interesting how dual wielding would fare, maybe find the ones with socket and additional crit damage.

thx for the advice.

I don't think Skullgrasp's can get spirit regen. Stone of Jordan's can though. So can Xephirian Amulets.

xephirian amulets, i'll look into it as soon as i'm off from work.

NightCrawler9 is right.
