After the WD's bear issue, i got pissed since my WD can't seem to progress at all in Act 2. So started a shaolin monk to have fun with.. rclxms.gif biggrin.gif

Currently at Level 57 Hell Act 3.

Current Farming Built:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk...;aXd!aZZaaa

Boss Built:
Swap the Implosion with Breath of Heaven (circle of life)
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk...;aXd!aZZaaa

So technically, there's life regen from Healing Mantra + Oh Sh!t button + Explosive Light (to kickback mobs that gangbang me) biggrin.gif

What do u guys think of this built? notworthy.gif

I decided to put One For Everything aside at the moment because all my resists are 3-5 points difference from each other. So thought use the extra 10% movement speed. Once things gets harder on the resists, most likely thats the first to go and replaced by this resist all biggrin.gif

why you no use monk "serenity"  best skill ever?

I used to use serenity (peaceful repose) but then i came to find out that Breath of Heaven (circle of life) gives more +hp instead so mai went for it lo.

I initially thought that the runes are a REPLACEMENT rather than a STACK. So thought go for the highest hp regen between the two. So the base function 3secs immunity still works for the serenity even after choosing a rune? hmm.gif

for defensive it's stacks actually. except for attack move i guess

serenity helps a lot coz you can get out from freeze, jail or molten/poison  and took the massive blow from boss.

Siege breaker grab. right before he toss, can activate it to absorb all damage. lololol.

if the choice between serenity and BoH.. serenity wins hands down. There's no replacement for oh shiet escape skill which heals and breaks CC. When you're in that situation, healing just makes no sense.
*
hmm.gif hmm.gif U got a point there...

Monk doesnt have Spirit walk that can cabut like WD sweat.gif So what i hate most is situations where:

[Jailed / Walled / Surrounded / Blocked by Mobs] + [plagued / molten / arcane / desecrate ] sweat.gif icon_question.gif

all buttons clicked also kenot escape.. icon_question.gif

QUOTE(yuhhaur @ Jun 28 2012, 02:40 PM)
Do you know 7sided are immune to boss whack? mostly when boss want to whack me i quickly 7sided to avoid+attack, and then follow by a BoHeaven + serenity if failed.

Of course la, facing elite is another story as I will be using another build.
*
Honestly this is the ONLY reason I'm keeping it for my slot actually. Cos this is the only thing that i can escape from Jails blush.gif

If thats the case, seems like some people here occupied the 4 slots with:

1) BoH (as the oh sh!t button)
2) Serenity (double sh!t button)
3) Healing Mantra
4) 7 sided strikes (to "escape" from tricky spots)

So the Mystic ally doesn't play a role anymore? I was using the Water Ally. U think it still plays a role in inferno?

If you think you have good enough resistance, block and dodge to handle damage from groups of mobs then go ahead and dual wield. If not then stick back to Mr Reliable shield.

at inferno, what is considered "good enough"? 400? 500? 600 range? hmm.gif

Dont really need LoH. Your number 1 priority is to pump up resist and DPS. 700 is OK, but 13k DPS will not cut it. 5-6m is enough to get a decent sheild with +dex,+res... just saying...
*
i'm now at 13k dps.. need alot more sweat.gif dammit... both my fist weapon stands at 700. So what else to pump? crit chance?

when you have a certain base stats lets say 1800, pumping ur crit to above 20% and your crit damage to 200% will bring your total dps to above 25k for sure. obviously you will need a good weapon too. preferably above 800+ dps

so the crit way is the only way i can go into pumping my dps? unsure.gif hmm.gif i smell my pocket bleeding... sweat.gif

I think u can always retrain ur companion if i'm not mistaken.

But interestingly, the reason why i trained enchantress in the first place was becos most of the monks/tankers choose her instead of the scoundrel...

the enchantress can buff ur amor which is atually quite useful.. from my 6k unbuffed, she pump my armor to 7k rclxms.gif

My current Monk has this stats

Elemental resist - 700 ++
Armor - 7k
DPS - 20k
Health - 31k
LoH - 608

I can go thru Act 2 and killed Belial with the help of a wizard

But my question is that, I find it so hard to solo in Act 3 and even with a wizard, i can't tank, therefore, which part should I upgrade? Armor or my DPS?

I believe if i can withstand Act 3 i can at least farm in Act 2 efficiently. Any suggestions of the build?
*
Mine is nearly similar to urs..

Elemental resist - 659 for all
Armor - 7k (buffed frm enchantress)
DPS - 13k blush.gif
Health - 30k
LoH - cant remember but less than 500 for sure sweat.gif


STILL kenot survice in act 2 icon_question.gif
