This concludes the overview of the Active Skills, now let us look through the Passives.
Beacon of Ytar is a solid foundation for high skill uptime, providing a 20% chunk to your Cooldown Reduction.
Further reducing the
Seven-Sided Strike downtime is only half the reason to take this passive, as it also cuts
down the sizable 60-second cooldown of
Epiphany and directly improves your defenses.
A mainstay in the Monk arsenal of passives,
Harmony fuels your All Resistance with 40% of the single elemental
resistance per piece of gear. (E.g. 100 Fire Resistance roll on the boots will add 100 to your sheet Fire Resistance and
add 40 to your other resists.) A well geared Monk will usually sport secondary resistances in all the gear slots that
are able to roll them, adding signicantly to his overall Toughness.
To counteract some of the damage spikes the build is exposed to, we will be taking
Near Death Experience
the cheat death passive available to Monks. On the standard 60-second cooldown, it will prevent a lethal situation
and restore you to 35% Life and Spirit instead. The 2-second immunity to damage and crowd control impairing
eects is a nice bonus on top.
Mythic Rhythm remains one of the strongest damage passives you can take as a Uliana Monk, as it oers a 40%
multiplicative damage bonus for your next damaging Spirit spender after a triple attack from a generator, mirroring
the mechanics of the set.

jewelry for the Endless Walk set and its damage multiplication bonuses. Rolls-wise, this Exploding Palm-centric
playstyle takes good advantage of Cooldown Reduction, Skill and Life Regeneration axes. Cooldown Reduction is
taken as the fourth primary on the
Uliana's Fury, alongside Dexterity, Crit Chance and Crit Damage. Life
Regeneration, Dexterity and Vitality plus secondary Physical Resistance are the desired stats on
Uliana's Heart.
High Toughness and CDR rolls will be helpful on
Uliana's Strength. Note that both
Uliana's Heart and
Uliana's Strength are able to roll
Seven-Sided Strike %, but it is not advisable to seek these stats out, as the
skill is mostly a tool to spread and detonate
Exploding Palm, and the primary roll is best spent on something
else.
Uliana's Burden is dedicated to Toughness, with high Dexterity, Vitality and Physical Resistance rolls ideally
accompanied by Life Regeneration. While both
Uliana's Spirit and
Uliana's Destiny can roll
Exploding Palm % bonus, it is preferable to seek skill damage on the boots and to leave the huge mainstat
potential of the helm for a hefty Vitality roll.
Not skipping on any of the six available set pieces to obtain the full Uliana set bonus allows you to split between
oense and defense in the jewelry slots. One of the 2.4 reworks, the Endless Walk set
The Compass Rose ring
and
The Traveler's Pledge amulet adds a unique mechanic that slowly increases your damage by up to a
100% if you remain stationary, and drains it away and increases your damage reduction while moving. This dynamic
ts the Uliana playstyle, which alternates dashing between ghts with periods of stationary
Seven-Sided Strike
spam (the movement from the SSS animation does not lower the Endless Walk damage bonus).
Your other ring slot will be taken by the pure damage boost of
Convention of Elements, whose rotation of
elemental bonuses you will need to learn and time to maximize the benets of the short-lived Cold proc.
With the dependence on
Exploding Palm to deliver the bulk of the damage, it is no wonder that
Gungdo Gear
is the suggested bracer for the build. With an eect both simple and devastating, this piece applies
Exploding Palm to enemies caught within the radius of a detonated
Exploding Palm, spreading like wildre
through the Uliana 6-piece bonus. Aim for the expected Cold elemental damage, Crit Chance, Dexterity and Vitality.
Created with
Seven-Sided Strike in mind,
Binding of the Lost is a damage reduction powerhouse that scales
with the power of
Lion's Claw, optimally providing you with 49% DR. With a generous 7-second uptime and the
Cooldown Reduction focus of the build, you will easily overlap its eect. Note that the unique power of this belt
ranges between 3-3.5 damage reduction, with a 7% loss between the minimum and maximum so try to perfect
your roll for optimal performance.
The Fist of Az'Turrasq is your rst mandatory weapon; this legendary st increases the on-death explosion
damage of
Exploding Palm by up to a 300%; as a true multiplier to the base damage of the skill, it essentially
doubles the output of your primary source of damage. Getting a roll with or close to the maximum 300% of the
unique bonus is your foremost concern; other optimal stats include Cooldown Reduction, Vitality and high base
damage range.
Lion's Claw is a Season 4 exclusive item that is tailored after the build. Turning
Seven-Sided Strike into a
fourteen-sided strike without extending casting time, this st weapon serves as another true damage multiplier by
allowing you twice as many
Exploding Palm detonations from Uliana's 6-piece bonus. The preferred stats for
Lion's Claw are similar to your other weapon Cooldown Reduction, Vitality and a good base damage roll.

Your three jewelry sockets will be taken up by the legendary gems
and
Bane of the Stricken.
Gogok of Swiftness,
Bane of the Trapped is a potent source of additional damage, as it is its own multiplier in your total damage
calculation. When ghting in melee range, as a Uliana Monk naturally does, the gem will proc on its own
through the level 25 property, bringing a self-sucient increase to your DPS.
Gogok of Swiftness synergises well with the build, indirectly providing you with more damage and
survivability by increasing the essential Cooldown Reduction. While less important, the Attack Speed aspect will
assist with resource upkeep to enable care-free spam of
Mantra of Salvation.
Introduced in Season 4,
Bane of the Stricken occupies the third and nal jewelry socket. Building up your
damage multiplicatively in prolonged ghts and with a level 25 bonus specically targeting Rift Guardians, this
gem is designed to assist AoE heavy builds in their struggle against single target, high HP enemies. The Uliana
Monk is a prime example of such a build, and Bane of the Stricken is considered mandatory.

8. Kanai's Cube
The Kanai's Cube recommendations are as follows:
for the armor slot, and
Unity for the jewelry slot.
Spirit Guards
Cubing
The Flow of Eternity is essential for the build, as the unique power of this daibo cuts the base
cooldown of
Seven-Sided Strike by 60%. No other weapon eect is remotely comparable, as better uptime
of that skill directly translates into damage and survivability.
Stored in the armor slot,
Spirit Guards will multiply your damage reduction by 40% for 3 seconds after
using a Spirit Generator another signicant reminder to use
Way of the Hundred Fists regularly. Stacking
with your other sources of damage mitigation, these bracers will add helpful survivability during
Seven-Sided Strike downtime. Notice that the armor cube slot is interchangeable with the
Gungdo Gear,
so pick which one you store depending on the weaker rolled item.
Functioning exactly as if you wore it, the cubed
Unity ring oers 50% damage reduction when paired with
another on the follower, plus an immortality item for him (i.e.
Enchanting Favor).
