fallen maniac keep killing me at act 3, anyone knows how to counter this?

Kill it before it blows.

Kill it before it blows.

keep reminding myself of that, but when a whole mobs attacking you, hard to detect. all u know is that youre killed by that crazy maniacs

suicide guys? dont monks have serenity? LOL

also, mystic ally decoy GO!

Roundhouse kick them out once u saw them

isnt that it only last for 3 secs with 20sec cd? not that effective in my opinion..

only if u notice them fast enough.. like i said before the problem is u cant see them in a whole bunch of mobs attacking you. thanks anyway.
my current solution is to use Seize of the Initiative, max my armor and hopes that that 1 blow is not enough to kill me.

I still think the way you are extrapolating MF to mean "higher percentage for ilvl 61-63 items" is wrong lor.

I farm some more, now my sample size is 125 rare drops, all from act 1, and it is still:

ilvl 61 - 23 (18.4%)
ilvl 62 - 10 (8.0%)
ilvl 63 - 4 (3.2%)

I have a base MF of 150%, so most of my drops came with MF hovering around 180%-225%. By your calculation I should be getting 50% ilvl 61 drops, but that isn't the case.

err no u still dun get what i am trying to say.
u cannot just "count rares" only.

MF% - 0% - (100%) - [200%]
■Inferno - Act I
■iLvl 61: 17.7% (35.4%) [53.1%]
■iLvl 62: 7.9% (17.8%) [23.7%]
■iLvl 63: 2.0% (4%) [6%]

So are you telling me that at 200% MF, 82.8% of all your drops will be ilvl 61-63?

i am still toufu in Act 2...

190 LoH only...

bought it 400K, 200+Dex, 100+Vit with Socket...

put +190 LoH gem...

you bought wrongly.

should have pick with dex and around 400 LoH  with extra socket better.
can get less than 400k.

of coz damage are lower. around 500-600.

huh??? that weapon DPS 580 like that...

my MH 610 DPS with 200+Dex, 100+Vit also but no LoH...

overall my DPS only 14K...

HP only 37K...

if w/o that Vit i lagi toufu wor... no???

refer back the stat that posted by some pro here.
monk need more res and armor.

question about mystic ally:

do you guy use fire rune for dps boost or earth rune to get the mobs off you (kinda redundant thou, even there's kormac the templar who can do the same job...)

or you guys use other element runes for certain boost (like snaring, but there's scoundrel for that... or extra spirit regen)??

Earth ally has been my best mate since act2 till now. Good to use as a decoy and a tank while i burn the mobs. My preferred companion is the enchantress for the armor and attack speed buff.

so far i find earth ally die extremely fast compared to fire counterpart and can't finish the mob most of the time. maybe i should ditch dex for extra vit?

btw, what is your thought about spirit regen gears? i was thinking about getting 1-2 pcs of those gears to ease up the spirit regen.
