So i tried the dagger version as opposed to the sliver armour version. Didn't get very far. I was able to kill alot of other things until i ran into a group with a priest. I tried attacking just the priest, with disrupting stab as my lead, as well as attacking the guys next to the priest to hit him with the splash damage.

Here is what i was using:
Daggers of Xuexo(?)
Full radiant armour
3 attunements runes a major vigor and a superiour shadow arts rune in a SA mask.

[Shadow Form][Glyph of Swiftness][Deadly Paradox][Way of the Lotus][Disrupting Stab][Fox Fangs][Death Blossom][Shadow Refuge]

Maybe its just because i am Soloing, or maybe i need a different set of dagger skills, maybe even loose one attunement and grab a dagger rune. What do you think?

Your combo wont have recharged when your ready to use it again, try using a lead attack with a quicker recharge.

Instead of [Fox Fangs], use [Wild Strike] it works better. Also, might want another lead attack, should be no need for [Shadow Refuge], as your a perma [Shadow Form]. I say bring in a Dazing skill instead of [Shadow Refuge] and a 4 sec recharge skill in place of [Disrupting Stab]. [Golden Fox Strike] works well.

mention my run in ReDoGG thread on Sorrows Furance as Perman SF A/E. It works very well. Their need of a Distrupt Skill or remove Skill. Got me thinking bring the Smoothing Crimial. This skill disable one of the monks skills and replcaing it in your bar. I did solo Gordac Fleshweaver. The best spot is go farm to the machines and position the monk near one of them. didnt see how he died but he did allowing me to kill the Gordac. I know it a waste but on HM those Priest of Sorrows are bitches(sry for language). I am all up for sugguestions. Did thought of Technnoable. Give some of these a round.

Also to put in the dagger build. Change Skill and Add Exhuasting Assualt it will help deplete the Monks Energy Faster.

if you're willing to use [skill]arcane echo[/skill] instead of [skill]glyph of swiftness[/skill] than you can also bring shatter enchantment or something to deal with [skill]mark of protection[/skill]

So i went in last night in normal mode with

[Shadow Form][Glyph of Swiftness][Deadly Paradox][Way of the Lotus][Golden Lotus Strike][Golden Fox Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom]

Using the alternating lead attacks to use the full chain more often and still adding in [way of the lotus] on the second or third chain to make sure my energy was above 30 to recast the sf combo.

I wacked two bosses on the way in and got their greens, Killed the first priest after 3 SF casts, took longer because there wasn't alot of melee guys for collateral damage so i had to run around and get him group in with some casters. Worked my way down to the right side where two bosses usually spawn pretty close together. Well its spawned Tarnok and Brohn, both with their own priests. After grouping them as close as i could, and going through at least 8 casts of SF no one died so i bailed. Lucky for me Tarnok followed me for a long way and eventually his priest rain back down the hill so i finished him off and got Tarnok's Recurve Bow. Not bad i guess. Next i worked my way around to the right center door, and took out Galigord Stonestrike and his priest and Runar Brimstone both with no green drops but pretty easily. I think i will try hard mode tonight and let you all know how it goes.

I was going to edit my post to add the build i mentioned before the mod lazilly closed rather than moved the thread so here it is.

[build=OwZk0texnOqk0HPiOTZm/zBj+TNI]

Use a sup dagger on mask, and a sup shadow arts+crit strikes. rest attunements on all radiant armour.

Use the strategy i mentioned in the last thread to kill omnks, taking dazed is a waste of a skill slot.

The Dagger Builds still cant kill the Priest of Sorrows you will run problems that wont be able to kill them and kill the guys that are in party with them. Of cource I havent done SF on NM. My Idea on beating the Priest of Sorrows is to take Smoothing Crimial to disable a Skill off the monk.

There are many ways you can exploit the AI for this.

AI won't prot itself if they are taking the splash damage only, they will prot the target your hitting. So just hit another foe first, preferably a necro, and watch for the SoR. As soon as the monk has cast it then start attacking them, you should be able to outdamage their heals without sor.

There are lots of other ways as to do it as well, basic AI tricks that people should have picked up from simply playing PvE. Especially as a sin.
