QUOTE(xander @ May 24 2012, 11:34 AM) m trying to understand how monk weapon works actually. When Dual wielding , you get 15% extra attack speed but you're actually alternating with your main hand and off hand weapon .let's say i have a fist equip on left and right is empty my damage is 3k if i have both hand equip fist my damage is 3.1k is tat normal? assuming both weapon has same damage If you got 1 high dmg weapon and the other one is low , your dps is lower than using 1h with a shield . The benefit of using dual wield is the 15% atk speed / Passive to increase dodge / extra stats QUOTE(icecolddamncold @ May 24 2012, 11:36 AM) actually asking a real noobs question here.. what's the difference between ppl saying their dex is 700 and DPS is 1k? what is the full name of DPS actually? damage per second? DPS is the dmg you see on the stats .from my understanding, say dex = 700, when i go to detail stats, my damage increased by dexterity will be 700% also... so what is DPS? |

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 24 2012, 11:44 AM) the atk speed increase is auto or with the passive skill using dual-wield? atk speed is auto . anyway now i use 2-hand weapon, cos more DPS. at higher level, higher DPS helps a lot. i use to have dual-wield and each weapon replenish health but at higher levels, it's really case by case already. I tried with a heavy 2hand before , it's very good with skill that depends on weapon dmg like Sweeping Wind / Wave of Light (Explosive Light) . But sure have problem when meeting mobs with lot of minions like the skeleton/monster that kill raising the dead. Now have to look for a shield already This post has been edited by ghoss: May 24 2012, 11:53 AM |

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 24 2012, 12:10 PM) ehh sweeping wind and wave of light depending on weapon? Actually all skills depending on the weapon dmg , not DPS . anyway mobs ah? whether using dual-wield or 2 handed - still get into heaps of trouble. I doubt using 1 hand + shield can help that much (depending on stats). now in Hell Mode and I still get pwned easily by those lesser creatures with insane HP and even more insane ability - eg mortar, fire chain, laser, wall, those that bring you back into the mob. sheesh, 1 group of them really need to die a few times just to settle. worse if combat zone far from checkpoint. If you go nightmare , you use heavy weapon (the slower the better) , you try using wave of light can 1shot kill but when using 1h sure cannot kill one . worst is the molten / plagued + vampiric, very hard to kill |

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 24 2012, 12:18 PM) oh you referring to that la, to what I remember - it's not about the weapon dmg either. It's about the ATTACK you see in the stats. no? No le , the skill scale with weapon dmg like the 70-100 dmg stat not the dps . dual-wield a 133 + 133 doesn't mean it's better attack / dps than a 2-handed 200. tested various combos before, I donno how to calculate the attack. even both can look like knuckle weapons of similar dmg + stats, the total attack variation can be huge. Added on May 24, 2012, 12:18 pm yeah molten kacau. a lot of them really tough for monk to kill cos have to run close. serenity also last a few seconds only. basically , Dual wield = attack faster / extra dodge (with passive only) / more stats 2h = scale with skills better / extra spirit regen (with passive only) / Easy to get item (instead of finding 2 good 1h) The dmg calculation increase with +atk% This post has been edited by ghoss: May 24 2012, 12:30 PM |

QUOTE(3ternal @ May 24 2012, 12:26 PM) oic...so in this case dual wield would have a higher dps rate...so far there is no penalty for off-hand weapon rite? i mean traditionally the off-hand weapons in rpgs tend to lower the att rate the penalty is that both weapon dmg need to be close to each other .Example, Main hand 200dps / Off hand 100dps You hit 1 time per second. For 3 sec , Deal 200 + 100 +200 (cos you switch between hands) So total DPS for 3 sec = 500/3 = 166.66 So you see that the off hand actually dragged down the dps |

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 24 2012, 12:38 PM) hrm. now i see better. I keep thinking combining them but I forgot that it's taking turn to hit. LOL. logic sensor missing. That's why the say , use 1h + shield better . Teach you guys a trick , find those weapon with bonus dmg . Like this one (not mine) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « It boosts your DPS greatly |

QUOTE(Deimos Tel`Arin @ May 24 2012, 02:30 PM) how get 98.21% oh? I'm trying my best to focus but there is a girl staring at me.btw how does damage reduction and resistance works? which comes first? i.e. armor 60% reduce resist 60% all say 10,000 damage comes in armor first? 4,000 remaining? then another 60% from resistance? total is 1,600 ? from original 10,000 ? but which one is counted first? 1 - (1600 / 10 000) = 0.84 so 60% and 60% would be about 84% damage reduction? O_O oh, also, the 60% is only 60% if the monster is the same level with the monk, in inferno, all monsters higher level one right so it is not 60% liao yes? Armor = Reduce physical dmg Resist = Magic dmg Physical Resist = I'm not sure |

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ May 26 2012, 09:37 AM) Hi, guys. I just started diablo 3. And i am using monk at the moment. But one thing I really don't know is about the skill upgrade. Can anyone guide me on this? I try to google it, but they just introduce the skill, nothing more. I would like to know whether the skill is like the diablo 2 whereby you cannot unused the skill point and its fixed already? And there are passive skill, active skill and left , right click which those are confusing me at the moment... No , you learn the skill when you level.And you unlock runes to customize the skill . |
