Want to check, during team play, when some of you say monk play the role of tank, how really monk do the tanking? This is not like WOW that we have threat meter where the tank have special ability to draw more aggro from the mob. When there is a range, says wiz, do crazy dps to the mob that you are "tanking", will the mob go after the wiz instead?

Or the elite/boss in D3 is so dumb that it will always steak with the first target they encounter?

Just finished Inferno Act 1 last night, after a long 30 minutes die and retrying. Got frustrated during the fight, change my skill over and over again and after like 7 or 8 tries, finally get the Butcher. Wah feel so happy man and all the old time gaming feeling suddenly came back to my vein. Hope Blizzard will not nerf the inferno, I am just getting started!!

HP - 43K
Resist - 650
Armor - 5K (after the passive skill that buff the armor 100% by dex)
DPS - 12K

In act 2, I learned a new skill -- called Run, with rune "like chicken"

Edited - added DPS

As long as you kill butcher fast enough, Inferno Butcher is not really a big problem. dual wield 800dps is even higher than me haha.

Joined my first ever public game last weekend. Worked very well with 2 monks + 1 DPS (in and out changing) along Act II until Kulle Blood quests. But yes, I am lucky to get a team that rocks. Heard my wife said.... she joined 10 public games and 9 out of these are wipe fest.

planning to build my monk this way when I get to lv60

- resists 600
- 1500+ dex
- 20k dps
- 20% +/- crit chance
- 200% +/- crit dmg
- 30k+ hp
- 5-6k armor (unbuffed)

prolly with near 1k LoH

with this build

Is this route viable for act 1 - 2 inferno ?

Sounds expensive.... tongue.gif I burned 2mil (only) and not able to reach your route.
