Teleporting spenders with a hard double hit

In this version your teleporting Spirit spenders during Epiphany also strike a nearby target, and that second hit deals its own, greatly increased damage rather than merely copying the effect. For the Monk this turns Rabid Strike into a genuine damage-multiplier weapon instead of a pure convenience item.

Because the bonus hit costs no extra Spirit, you can teleport aggressively through packs while hammering two targets at once. Tip: Build around this effect for maximum multiplicative damage and keep Epiphany up without gaps, so every teleporting spender lands the boosted second strike and lifts your single-target peak considerably.

Epiphany Sets the Pace

The power only works while Epiphany is running. The skill lasts 15 seconds on a 60-second cooldown, so without Cooldown Reduction Rabid Strike sits idle most of the time. That is why Cooldown Reduction belongs on as many pieces as possible. While Epiphany is active you gain 20 Spirit per second and your melee attacks dash you straight to the target.

Among the runes, Insight stands out: it raises the extra Spirit to 45 per second, which funds more teleporting spenders and therefore more free second hits. Desert Shroud cuts your damage taken by 50% for the duration, and Inner Fire makes your attacks deal 353% weapon damage as Fire.

Stats and Roll

The second hit's damage bonus rolls 350–450%; a high roll is worth it, and a Primal Ancient gives 450%. Dexterity at +626–750 and 31–35% Critical Hit Damage are fixed. For the open slots, look for Cooldown Reduction, a Socket, Maximum Spirit, Area Damage or Damage against Elites. The fist weapon is often combined with Pinto's Pride, the Incense Torch of the Grand Temple, Tzo Krin's Gaze and Kyoshiro's Blade. The flavor text fits the name: those who survive the winter fever keep the strength of the madness it brings.
