FAQ:
Q: Why am i getting instantly killed g33+?
A: You need Unity equipped, and Unity on your active follower(with a "follower cannot die" relic)
Also! 1000+ All resistance | 16,000+ Armour | 350,000+ Health - Is a good amount to be around.
Q: Does the sunwuko 2 set scale with elemental damage?
A: Yes, the 1000% weapon damage proc grabs your highest elemental damage % then modifies the proc accordingly (all item damage cannot proc area damage)
Q: What gem should i put in my helmet socket?
A: Diamond. CDR = Dmg + Survivability!
Q: What normal gems should i put in my chest/pants?
A: Diamonds until your all resistance is over 800, Then the rest emeralds(dex gems).
Q: What follower should i use?
A: Templar. Why? Inspire (x1.1 ALL spirit generation)

@SomeFx Yeah this is the build I've been running since the sunwuko buff (well afew variations)
With the recent buffs to our mantras in 2.1, Inna's is a very strong set! And if it weren't for the fact that Inna's reduces the cost of SW by 70, no questions asked I would be running it with the Flying dragon.
But currently if you try and use Flying Dragon + Inna's = You will hit sprit cap the second your flying dragon procs(because you can't sprit dump with Sweeping wind anymore) and all your crazy damage goes down the drain! So if you don't have a flying dragon equipped, its a perfect excuse to use Inna's.
Also on another note, anything that isn't a diabo doesn't have very good synergy Sunwukos. (although the new 1h holy spear + sunkeeper is still very competitive)
For weapon stat priority, you said WaS = LoH. What does WaS mean?
WaS=Weapon attack speed
LoH=Life on hit
WaS and IaS are two different things

In group play (3-4) this build is awesome up to grift 35 then I die in pretty much every elite packs even when spamming the shield.
What's your experience guys ? How do you compete in Grift 35 + without getting 1 shot by affixes
1) Equip your follower with a token saying "your follower cannot die"
2) Equip a Unity ring on your follower
3) Equip a Unity ring on yourself
And as for the people having survivability issue's, Unity + Unity, 1000+ All Res, 18K+ Armour, And spam the shit out of MoH, before you start spamming SW, SW is only for EXCESS dump (80%+ Sprit)
