Came across the ring set that does +100% dmg for each ancient item, then discovered I had 7 ancient items in my stash. Went from comfortably ploughing through T6 grifts in about 10mins to absolutely smashing them. When I find the other 4 ancients (assuming bracers and amulets can be ancient?) I can't see how it can get any better. But the wiki site shows green sets as the most commonly worn items for monks, and the ring set has about 1% usage.
Yeah, I've got a few of these ring sets on a few of my characters with around 10 or 11 Ancient items (remember the rings can be ancient too, so 13 items total).
I think it depends on the class and the sets available. I think DH and Crusader are the ones that generally benefit most from the LoN builds. The others tend to use sets (greens).
Doesn't one of the Monk sets mean your charge attack does 12,500% damage and generators do 300% (+100% from 2-piece bonus, along with 25% increased attack speed)?
Compare that to 1,300% boost from the LoN build (although you'd also get 52% damage reduction).
I struggle to understand why that works out better for DHs than Unhallowed Essence which I think can give a 4000% damage boost to Multishot and Vengeance attacks. Something I plan to try if I can get 10+ Ancient DH items (or at least Dexterity based).
