eh guys the 7-sided strike which rune is better?

QUOTE
Dash rapidly between nearby enemies, dealing 777% weapon damage over 7 hits.

Sudden Assault Teleport to the target, increasing damage done to 1006% weapon damage over 7 strikes.

Several-Sided Strike Increases the number of strikes to 9.

9 strikes of 111% weapondmg each = 999% which is (slightly) worse than the 2nd rune, no?

er, basically there's no guide for Diablo newbie like myself on what stats for what purpose.

i had to try out. swap weapons, look at the details and changes that correspond to the stats.

what i am saying is, if you had advanced tooltips turned on (from game options), you can mouseover the stats like int/str/armor etc, and they will tell you what it does. pressing details from your inventory gives you further math/numbers like this post's screenshot: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=51577956

the rest, refer here: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/game/

i see that skill as buying time for you to be immuned, you basically get approximately 1-2 seconds of immunity from the extra 2 strikes.
that said, id rather just get -7 sec off it, so i can 7 sided more. and now, i dont use it because when i go immune my teammates get whacked. so i just use 3x defensive skills on my bar lol

pure dps wise, there are exploding palm strike + sweeping winds to churn out better dps. 7 sides is more of your "oh shit button" or your kiting button (lol the spirit requirement and cooldown) which on overall, aren't that practical at all

yeah took me a while to realize that, didn't know about the lower half you mentioned, other than INT part which make sense in usual RPG.

anyway my monk char focuses on DEX and VIT only. I don't care about INT and STR.

hell+ inferno later you have to invest...without it monks will get 1-2 shotted...cant go blazing through like normal.every step u take have to survey the area first for incoming champ elite mobs..

lol i found out something for monk weapon equipment

placing dagger/knuckle on the left/right gives u different atk spd

i just started using monk. found out using dagger on the left and knuckle on the right give better atk speed than knuckle on the left while dagger on the right


Added on May 22, 2012, 6:48 pmor it is as long as u put the higher atk spd weapon on the left? i noticed when u use a more than 1 hit skill your atk spd will drop n rise, punch to punch


Added on May 22, 2012, 6:59 pmi dont understand. why equipping two weapons give lower dmg than single weapon. but higher atk spd than single weapon

yoyo some guide on your stats and build? same goes to me, ditch my lv36 barb and started a monk. got it to lv53 with no swt. Now going through Act1 in Hell, it's really a pain. 25k hp, 4k dps with buff. Have to do some kiting in party. If i'm alone it's quite easy though.

Anyone tried the crit dmg + crit chance build? Looks good.

I always go for weapon that have dex and vit only. Mine both weap have 1xx dex and 2xx vit. With this 2 weap my dps and hp is good to go.
As long as i have spirit can say that I can never die i only have problem with those huge bulky champion/elite that can do charging wallop damage n knockback
me to stop me generating spirit. To counter that i change to using mystic ally (air or wind forgot lol) the one that generate spirit on each attack.
You need to know the rotation of spells that grain you 'godmode' or reducing damage skill or healing skill. Rotating between those skill will grant you
time to take those elite down , that y spirit is totally important to a monk. Ability like generate 1.9 spirit per sec those are important too.

most importantly check out the DPS. the DPS won't lie.

The more spirit we have the better we are? Hurm... do you have your passive which adds up to 259 spirit? Regarding the weapon, yeah can't agree more. But for the spirit i have yet to test it out. My passive is always 100% armor for each dex you have, 15% dodge with 2 weapons, and 25% dmg lowered if monk hit's enemy.

well at times yes. myself can also pump more atk on single handed. Depending on the shield dex stats as well. But 2 handed is about 25% faster if i am not mistaken. read somewhere in bnet forum. unless you have a sucky 2 handed else a double handed will be good. do remember there is still leeching, life per hit, crit dmg and atk speed attributes to take into consideration.

Well, I saw this guy posting the upcoming patch notes.
Source is DiabloFans, I know it might be just be a hoax since it's not an official statement form Blizzard themselves but seriously if they nerf Serenity we're in dipshit.
