Some monk skills and item exploits

Bugged/exploitable items/skills you may want to know about:

Burning Axe of Sankis has no internal cooldown - this is likely a bug
Thunderfury's proc hits the target it procs on twice
Odyn Son - if there is only 1 target the chain lighting procs will ALL hit the 1 target resulting in a massive 1200% weapon damage to the single target.
Gyana-Na-Kashu ( monk only ) - Fireball ( procs on every cast ) currently double-hits the first monster it collides with causing GNK to do incredible single-target damage
The Monk skill epiphany - inner fire - snapshots gear/skill damage so Blinding Flash - Faith in the Light is BiS/OP you could also snapshot Harrington's proc or just gear swap for a massive 15sec dps increase.

Nothing major but might help you a bit... have fun.

Can you explain this please?

The Monk skill epiphany - inner fire - snapshots gear/skill damage so Blinding Flash - Faith in the Light is BiS/OP you could also snapshot Harrington's proc or just gear swap for a massive 15sec dps increase.

When you use the skill epiphany - inner fire the game looks at your current damage and then epiphany behaves like that is your damage for the next 15 seconds even if you swap gear or lose buffs. There are several methods of taking advantage of that - for example you could use blinding flash - faith in the light right before you activate epiphany and instead of 3 second boost you get the whole duration of epiphany boosted.

How is this an exploit and not a guide?

i kinda agree with qiuyidio on this it seems like its a informational thing more than a exploit :P

Just because they're not game-breaking doesn't mean they're not exploits. Pretty sure most of things are mechanics that aren't intended, nor endorsed for abuse of use by the games designers. So, exploits if you abuse them and find a means of gain from them, such as higher than intended dps, longer bonuses to skills etc.

Would this method work with the active Mamtra of Conviction?

As far as I know Matra of conviction does not buff you it debuff enemies to take more damage so I am guessing It wont work, You can test it easily though.

How so? Its not like your having the prog active constantly, it will always take some hits ebfore the proc comes on

The proc is not 100% , it is 10% chance but it has no internal cooldown meaning that if you are surrounded and attacked by many minions you will have a huge uptime ( because it can proc while it is already active )

indeed..
