Actually your build and skills really have to depend on how you play the game.

Solo mostly or CO-OP, if solo then you need to play those non-supportive skills, and CO-OP then you need to be a team player.

For me as all rounder CO-OP( plays at night after work so friends would be on that time )

WoTF + Extra Dmg for 5 sec + 3 times stack ( DPS increase )
Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick + Fire damage
Heal + increased damage for 45sec
Dashing strike + reduced spirit
Pullback + increase radius
Mantra of Healing + add damage rune

Passives

I dont rmbr the names, but one is 100% dex to armor, Dual Weilding to dodge ( since i not using dodge mantra ), and also one for everything resistance.

So far serve me quite alright, in nightmare mode, havent die yet.

3K DPS, 9K HP.

I would normally Heal 1st so CD 15sec can be use later on when fighting, DMG up for 45seconds 15% i think, Healing Mantra , Dmg up again. then Dash In, Pullback, and WoTF ( if lucky added dmg ), Too many mobs to handle just round house kick and hit one by one on those elite mobs. just knockback and fight the nearest to you.

work FROM home bro.. haha

i not yet reach the level where my passive will translate my dex to armor as well

what aura gives u life generation? mantra of healing? coz im thinking since monk has high attack speed and high dex/damage, having a lifesteal or life on hit/kill is good to stay alive using less healing skills and replace it with damage skills? no??

quite nice.

well basically monk is just too imba and probably deserved some nerf in the future..

monk can basically do good dps, aoe, tank, heal, debuff, buff, dodge, crit machine all at the SAME TIME.

just a proper OMG char.

LOL. pity i have so little time to play lol

I think this quite the optimum built for Nightmare.

In Nightmare,
HP is not a big matter. (Advice: 2.5K - 5K is fairly enough, extra)
Max Out Attack would be helpful as you move and send forth hell to Diablo & Co. (2K-4K Attack is advisable)

In Hell, you seriously goddamn need HP.
I would suggest 13K-21K HP for Hell.
Attack (Minimumly 4K, anything more is up to you)

Inferno,
Go to your nearest church/temple/mosque before u try =p
25K HP is nothing to 4 Zombie, 1HIT KO.
Advisable minimum attack : 7000

any1 doing inferno now?im on act 1

Added on May 23, 2012, 11:23 ami was at 30k+hp + 7.4k atk without buff (120 resistance each)
in inferno, i lowered my hp to 25k, 6.8k atk to pump up my resistance (resistance now 210 each)
surviving on solo

dagnarus = 34 monk, 750 dps 7,7k hp

me = 29 monk, 600dps, 2k HP

5 level difference but dps and 7.7k hp seems quite a big gap

yeah undeniable monk is really godlike, at least for me now in normal mode lol.. my friend using WD cant even survive 2 hits from Belial, i can solo no problem without a headache i wonder what other character can match the godlike monk normally i just co-op with my WD friend only, never get to see other characters yet lol, coz all different stages d

you're going to nightmare mode soon eh? 2K hp is definitely not enough for nightmare. get your vits pumped up and 'purple gems' sloted

you guys is saying atk, how to see that 1? the damage below the armor part?
i cant get that high, i slot all emerald with dex also cannot, my dmg is only like 500. but my crit dmg is 165%.

So is it better to use dagger and put ruby at weapon instead of put emerald at weapon?
plan to do crit dodge build, dodge chance now is about 47%. but crit chance is 10% only. but due to 1 of the passive skill, my armor is about 2k.

i put square ruby into weapon. adds about 16-26 dmg i think. any level above square is too expensive

armor and others i put emerald and amethyst (boost vitality)

DPS now ~650, HP 4K. Monk level 33

can get cheap magical rings in AH that boost high Dex and socketed

yeah i believe a few more days i will be able to finish off normal mode, by the way, how many Acts are there in one difficulty mode ar? hahaah..

roger that bro basically looking for +dex +vit items now.. not enuf $$ to shop in AH and always mobs dont drop nice items for me deng!!! just normal magic items and never at all any rare items

+dex will lead to increase damage/dodge am i right?

+vit of coz increase HP, my 2k HP seems to be really low

What level are you now? 3k DPS 9k HP, should be around late 40s, early 50s?

Just finish act 1 inferno... stack up super high resistance 5xx resistance now...inferno is real deal

1 elite pack can fight like a boss and now they have a debuff if fight too long ur hp will start dropping every sec when fighting those elite packs.

From normal up to inferno i have solo all the way i find it easier to solo coz once i co-op i dying like a baws lolx

Currently in Nightmare Act 1
Lv36 with 940+DPS with Approx 3k Hp.
Need built up resistance
Kept dying the elite pack.

what you put in ur weapon socket? what weapon you use?
i lvl 36, only 500dps, and 2k armor and rest is 160 crit dmg, 10 crit chance, 47dodge. with mantra and passive i mean. but is 4.5k hp like that.

cant access to account now. in office
but i bought a lvl35 rare weapon with 82 dps for 15k each. with addition flawless red ruby to add dmg

just facerolled butcher nightmare just now. again no pots, no active healing, just my aura lol.

36 with 766dps and 8.8k hp now, all rare items, but none above lvl 30 with only the weapons socketed for 13-26 dmg
