hi... Lvl 60 monk reporting.... reach act 2 inferno now, but farming for gold in act 1. my items are not for act 2 yet....

wat will you shoose?
1 hand weapon with shield (12k DPS + 20% block 2000~3000 + 32% dodge) or
dual wield(15k DPS + 45% dodge)

Is shield really help alot in surviving? Cos i lost 13% DODGE if i use sheild in exchange of only 20% block which still deal damage if successfull block.

Currently i can survive well in act 1 inferno, seldom die if i farm tru act 1, using dual wield build.

oops, i forget to take consider of the shield armor, only tot of the dodge and block rate. thks for the advise, will go hunt for a good shield before going to act 2.

currently dodge at 45% when dual wield. wanted to look for a better shield then will ditch my off hand weapon before going into act 2. but i like both my weapon.....710 damage fist with 80dex, 80vit, 2500 life after kill, coupled with 650 damage mace 140dex, 160vit, 500++ loh + 400 loh gem....i was like blood sucking machine when killing mobs. in act 2 have difficulties dealing with elites, so switching to shield.

also wanted to upgrade my others stat before going act 2, especially resist, now farming at act 1. 53k HP, 450 resist, 15k DPS, 5.5k Armor. how this sound for ACT 2?

yup, that wat i think oso, maintain HP at 30~40k ok or not?
time to dump some gold in AH for resist and DPS items.

i been farming solo from start until now, in inferno act 3 now, no LoH, critical chance only 5% all the while , n critical damage only 50%. starting to feel bit difficult for act III inferno.

Current stat 600resist, 48kHP, 5k armor, 19K DPS unbuff, dual wielding

play game.....no need to calculate so much la, just play, cant go forward? farm, upgrade armor/weapon, that it. so expert calculated, at last still can finish the game.....for wat...

Agreed, wats the fun of the game, if u can just dump in money, get god items, and clear the game like god, no damage, no challenge....

not so, wat i mean is gaming should be challenging and skillful, but not dump in money to get item then can be godmode in the game.

i feel Diablo 3 is too much item dependen.....for those who manage to get much gold to buy good item in AH or spend real money to buy item, then should be much more easy to completed the game until inferno.

for ppl who not going to dump real money into the game, it would be challenging to farm for gold, get good item, and complete inferno...

Do able, i also clear act 2 with 17k DPS, 5k armor, 600 resist, 45k HP. but then is just nice to clear, but not comfortablely, kite quite alot for elite and champion mob.

die more then 10times in inferno ghom yesterday night before i finally learn how to deal with him. hate his fart~~~

run around by outer circle. hit him hard(better high DPS), run away when he fart, wait he come to u, hit him hard again. repeat and repeat. if you find the 1st fart still there when u turn one round, use the middle area to avoid fart.

i try different combination, high resist(1k), high armor(1k), high DPS(25k), found the best is High DPS, just need to becareful to avoid the fart, little mistake will die. and much much patience.

yup, same way.

should be no problem at all to kill him, just need patience as i mention.

i kill him with:
788resist
6k armor
25k DPS unbuff

serenity
breath of heaven
sweeping wind
man convic

use the serenity timely to avoid die(fart), but not use to stay longer to hit ghom.
