I dont remember hell elites having that much of skills.

Maybe he encountered multiple elites each with different imba skills at the same time

thats the only thing i use now because of its runes and aoe effect vs a frontal "cone" other spirit generators/BNB (bread and butter) and especially the stuttering/delay from way of 100 fists

Most important thing in Hell: Mystic Ally with Earth rune+Serinity+breath of heaven+blinding flash. 2 packs of hell elite? BRING IT ON.

In inferno , 1 pack of elite will bring you on

i kinda like my mantras. but yea preferences, so long it works for you thats good

Inferno i still can tahan 1 pack without dying. (sometimes once if they combo rape)

I still have a mantra on. Either conviction or healing. depends on the situation really.

wow im suprised u can get through nightmare with 2h weapon and such low resistance.. i hv a hard time in act 4 and hv to change one weapon on shield

no spirit dump then? i kinda like the get out of jail card via tempest rush too

even without the actual need of it, i still tap it to get the constant dmg reduction along with mantra activations (thats where all my spirit goes, mainly mantra and excess to TR)

Have to reserve most of my spirits in spamming mantras
Well this is my build in surviving hell and inferno : Link

Did you know?

within 3sec after your first activation of mantra.
you re-activate the same mantra again, it'll increase the values.

that what i heard.

this is my full tanking build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk...;XZV!ZYZaYc
btw boon nerfed, only shield 1k hp until they decided what to do with it

so i just go with more resist.
and yeah spamming mantras myself, however usually i'll have excess spirit since mantra activation lasts 3 sec after all XD

i dont really use WotHF too. find them quite useless sometimes. i switched back to fist with thunder clap + deadly reach shock rune. might change back to crippling. because it seems most elites immune from the debuff effect of the crippling wave. haha...

tried to do the healing mantra yesterday.
it does increase tho

oh this is my build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk...;YXZ!ZZYabc

I know boon is nerfed, but at least better than no shield at all. But your build is more to damage reduction, might refer to it when my build is no longer effective.

they do get affected, though with inferno cc resist, only for 0.x second. however since it is my BNB, and ill be constantly reapplying, its worth the usage. there's no other better skill/runes imho anyways

talking about resistance, i cant seems to find any armor with +all resistance? some will be with physical, some lightning and bla bla bla...

how bout u all? did u all hunt for armors with +all resistance or each armor for each specific resistance?

im lvl50, still in nightmare going for diablo, hv about 57 for all resistance and i dont know why lol.. where as for my equipments i only have physical and arcane resistance so far..

Monk have the passive skills, dont rmbr which that makes all your resistance to have the same amount to the highest value.

Eg. You have Poison Resistance at 11, and Physical Resistance at 50, because of your passive skills, all RESISTANCE will follow Physical as that is the highest ( providing it is the highest in your build ).

Get it?

so how high should the character's resistance be? to survive hell or inferno difficulties.

I have not start my hell difficulty run yet so i appreciate a little help here

yeah. thanks.

my setup with higher HP (by 5k - 10k) + higher HP per globe (~1k) survives better despite lower dps (about 300 - 500 points lower).

spent the last night buffing up my resistance.

still balancing out my gears though.

Added on May 28, 2012, 12:19 pmoh this one helpful oh. lower level that time i find heal helpful.

high level i find heal useless already.

boon that one last for 3 - 5 seconds or so but 3 seconds means a lot of damage dealt and a lot of injury reduced.
