Nice! Thanks Sifu! I wanna try max Dex too...

After days of farming, finally get the fist weapon I really like: 1015.3 DPS.

My damage is now 19k, with 272 resistance. Now can fly thru Hell's Act3 and farm for other better item. All in preparation for Inferno.

scary resist and armor. using Keen Eye?

i complete act 1 inferno with 21k HP.

50k health? nope. high dmg? yes, please. i like to kill fast.

should always get follower. it costs you nothing. Enchantress give nice buff on armor and AS.

just to add on spending plenty of gold on 1 item...

with patch 1.0.3, it is possible (2%) to find the highest quality iLvl63 item in Inferno Act1. good news for those who has been doing Butcher run like me.

that also mean, the price of best quality item will drop.

stay tune...

ya, now, i go kill Butcher a few times a day. starting "Chamber of Suffering", all the way till Butcher with 5 stack NV. rarely able to find good replacement for my gear. then, when i'm feeling lazy, farm gold... one time, i got 83 Massacre kills...

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.

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

atk speed will help you. if you have 2.0 and above AS, this is probably no longer a problem. i only have 150 spirit, more than enough for me.

LoH is not proc for AOE.

Life steal yes.

it's actually a little more complicated than that. with LoH with multiple target, Bliz 'neft' down the effect using "proc coefficients". so, your last FoT hit multiple targets, but the actual Life you get reduced. Life Steal does not have this "coefficients" problem. So, in theory, Life Steal may 1 day steal more life when you hit multiple target....

"it depends on what skill you're using and how many targets you're hitting. Life On Hit uses our proc coefficients and I've seen people measure out all the proc coefficients (nice work btw!).
Proc coefficients, btw, are used for a lot of the On Hit Effects. For example if you ever see "X has a chance to Y on critical hit" - it's using the exact same proc coefficients as life on hit. For example, the Wizard skill Critical Mass that reduces cooldowns by 1 second. People test this and say "Oh wait, it only works with single target skills". That's not actually true. Single targets kills generally have a proc scalar of 1. Skills that hit 6x as fast (like rapid fire) have a reduced proc scalar to normalize out the proc effects. Frenzy has a 0.75 proc scalar, which affects the life on hit, but if it were a Wizard skill would also have a 75% chance to trigger Critical Mass on crits.
So - back to your question. Life on hit is proc scalared down for certain skills, whereas Life Steal is not affected by the proc scalar at all. So if you Seismic Slam or Whirlwind a large number of targets, it will surpass Life On hit faster than for Frenzy. Of course on single targets Life on Hit will generally always be better. In terms of where the breakpoint is, I think what you'd want to look at is breakpoints for various DPS levels for different skills for different numbers of expected targets."

cold resist is probably the least popular... (prices are slightly lower in AH)...

Added on June 29, 2012, 1:26 pmu may wanna drop some HP for some resist and DPS... i guess it's do-able, but your monk wont be awesome...

you can probably get the same resist and armor with less than 5mil... cannot compare to his DPS tough...

LOL. you are probably right if we take out a decent weapon.

i bet flix can beat that $1000+ guy in PvP....

:okay.jpg:

PvP makes ppl do crazy stuff...

anyway, Act1 difficulties was not changed after patch 1.03, only drop rates.

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...

you may not like to see this:

if ur resist low, resist more important
if you dex low, dex more important
...

sometimes, armor is important too. this is pretty important for monk since we can stock up high resist with OWE. best to maintain 1:10 ration for resist:armor.

block % and amount blocked is bonus...
