wrong, wiz are intel based class, and they get pretty decent/high natural resists, which can be further boosted by buffs (monk's mantra, barbarian shout, just as we buff ourselves with) and skills/passives.

Also, they have force armor and diamond skin, and/or tele with illu or further dmg reduction.

lets just say, they can even potentially survive better than a full tank monk if you slap a shield on them. they only lack sustainability (healings) and an immune (serenity) to avoid heavy bursts/high streams of dmg.

that kinda changes if they have really insane dps + high regen + high life leech/LOH (refer the 120k dps archon vid on youtube)

and no, for full tanking monks playing coop, thats what you do: keep the boss stuck on your face trading blows. while your ally pew pew without the need to kite or move much (unless aoe)

obviously you have to move from heavy strikes (act 3 fallen champion mace swings, but rofl tracking swings so might as well just stand still and eat it or serenity) by just small simple sidesteps then move back into position or in belial case, his spam explosions in phase3 (i can only tank a maximum of 3 streaks )

inferno belial cant kill my earth ally despite 4 person coop (pre-nerf)

thats totally what im doin. lol

better if the same i think.

2 weapons 1.40

wield = +15% so
1.40 x 1.15 = 1.61

but if one slower then ...

((1.20 + 1.50) / 2) x 1.15 = 1.5525
say mace / hammer + dagger

i think calculate like that.

i think i m not a palamonk...

i have 1k fist weapon and all my skill are tune towards aggressive atk.

Left click = Deadly Reach - Foresight = +18% damage
Right click = Thunderclap = Mobs running away? No issue.
Breath of Heaven + Blazing Wrath = +15% damage
Serenity + Accession = 4 seconds God-mode
Blinding flash + Faith in Light = +30% damage
Mantra of Conviction + Overawe = +48% damage (i spam this)

So, the longer I fight, the higher is my damage. I have Transcendence so I can spam Overawe which also heal me. My HP just 21k, it heals quite good.

With some AS, I really enjoy playing with this build. Still die some times, but kill fast.

So can if i have different attack speed for MH and OF, it would be better to use the highest ASPD weapon and equip a shield? Will this resulted in higher DPS per sec comparing to DW (not the same ASPD weapon) ?

agree. forced to use more defensive build in higher ACT. that's why I stop till i get better item (and patch 1.03). if my monk is not awesome, i refused to proceed.

this build is super exciting because many times, even low health (left 5% HP), use Serenity, 4 seconds of free atk, build back Spirit, spam Overawe, build back HP, many times, if I dont chicken out, I can wipe Elites.

just my way of playing

My MH and OH difference in dps is quite marginal, its just both of them don't have the same ASPD. Then I'll just stick with DW first

Thanks bro

no need consider bro.

just petition blizzard to give shield bash and magic hammer and you're set.

if my mh and oh are same attack speed, and damage is around 20+ difference only, dw or find a shiled will be wiser?

* trying not to be stared...

by the way, may i know what's the different between the attack per second???

dagger have base attack speed like 1.50
but
fist weapon only have 1.40

* arr... must focus... fuuuu....

should i sacrificed my ally for FoT with Quickening rune?

already in game, just nerfed/ghetto version

also you guys should try out the burst 7SS build with a over 1k dps 2hander. i got this almost 1.3k dps 2hander, and oh god the dmg when i 7SS XD
and then there comes shielding/invuln     

i always lack of spirit to spam MoC for healing...

with 11k dps, 36k hp, 500+ all resis, 5.1k armor...

inferno act 2 really really really... err...

*excuse me, can u stop gazing me...

really easy feeding chicken...

i see, i don have LoH on my weapon, so i go for higher AS right???
thanks...
i think i only have 1.93 AS... i have a atk spd ring but my other stat will drop like hp, resistance, dex (seize bring armor)...

act 2 elite mobs see me as food...

back to the attack problem. say I have a 2h 1k dps daibo @1.1 speed vs two 1h fist 500dps with 1.5 speed. which had the more advantage?

but but... 2 dagger will have more room for value-added properties like life on hit, and so on right? what about 1h + shield? shall we opt for slower but more powerful mace/sword or keep the attack as fast as possible?

its a polearm lol, no stats only dmg. got it to see some burst dmg fun. crits are over 100k per strike on 7ss LOL!
if 7 kena crit, its either 1mil dmg (sustained strikes) or 700k dmg.

but yea 5% crit chance, fat chance.

Does it apply in Inferno? 1800life per hit per sec inferno not enuf. consider that those elite one hit you your hp half gone. we are talking about 20-40k hp ya know? 

  is this true???
did you try to open up the health display on your game play and check?

mine seems like didt health that much.... 

27k HP can tank in act 2 inferno ? LOL'ed ... 1 hit from those f***ing mob already 20k gone ...

end of the month faster come la !!! waiting for patch 1.0.3 leh ...

Is it possible to build a decent tank monk on a small budget (like 6m)?

I have seen Barbarian 1M challenge do well in Act 3

wah you so power patient with the game. looks like you don't mind repeating the thing again and again.

how many level 60 char already now?

it is very possible. so long you have over 1k dps weapons, and maybe 1.6-2k dex, his stats are possible to put act 2 on farm

can look up mine/flix/evo posts for build samples. rest = lol gear

Added on June 18, 2012, 4:19 pmguys, im farming inferno butcher with 23k dps + 200-300 resists, 1644 dex, 5k armor, 21k hp lol.
i dont think you need absurd stats to farm him so long you know how to time/position correctly. my farming runs are a little slow due to lack of dps, but it still clocks 40mins-1hour. (imprisoned angel quest > leoric manor waypoint, get 5NV > warden > butcher)

ps: enchantress is <3
shes at 3.5k dps now lol. (2k int and 850dps weapon)

=edit=
o yea my build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk...;XZV!cccYba

easier cuz per player no longer contributes 15% additional dmg. only 115% additional hp (just dps harder)
