Ya..the vit also needs a boost. The fist weapon is great..but ..lack of dex+CC+CD....DPS suffer badly...

I wont say I am monk sifu as my monk only finished Act 1. But..from what I can see...monk really underpowered. i.e my DH can tank a hell lot better than a Monk.

I currently play trying max DPS monk..rather than tank monk (the irony..DH tanker ..Monk glass cannon)...so my suggestion to your query (IMHO)

I always think jewelery are attacked focus (eventhough I got the Ammy offered above..lol

Amulet - go for CC/CD/ASI in that order...then only main stats. ). Reason to chose CC first is Amulets have high CC%..as it can go up to 8%. Same with CD 60%. ASI...better get it from rings

Rings -ASI/CD/CC in that order...reason CC in rings are expensive as they can go up to 4.5% only..not worth the millions poured over...next Vit/Dex/Str

Weapons:- DPS is the main criteria. Get highest DPS you can buy. CD/socket next. No CC for weapons..hence.

Try to aim about 35k DPS/30k HP. Its possible with a 900+ weapon with 30++ CC and 250CD. drop the LoH and add CD to your off hand fist (but of course you need to up your CC otherwise its just useless) eg no point having 400CD when CC is 5%.

How you play is to stack defensive skills- MoC/Serenity/BoH/Wind. + Enchantress for Armour buff

Thats how I do it..for Act 1. Really easy...havent started Act 2 but I guess can pull through as I am back farming Act 2/3 on my DH. Good luck

Ahaha..until you meet the farter...then its 2k LoH

Yup....higher DPS on main hand..

I think theres an video by Krip on this..

Funnily..I hate pick up radius..I prefer dont have it so can I leave the globe when I kite... usually with pick up radius you just makan makan globe even with full health which is a waste..

here..here...800 DPS weapon is utterly worhtless liao...I salvage most of mine.. even bought a fist with 882 DPS, 48 LPSS, 2.5% LS and 50% CD for 25k just to test . Cheap mang...

As for the stash, I really hope Blizzard will add an additional tab. Otherwise just create a mule and stash the other gears there lor .

Max 100k I think... DPS way too low ler.. I got a 897 DPS with 55% CD and socket also cannot sell more than 200k

LoH ..no but 400 LoH is not really usefull. If you want to stack CD and CC..I find LS + LoH is better especially with SW. loH doesn proac with SW but LS does ( I think..correct me if I am wrong). I can run Act 3 with 800 LoH with 2.5 LS + 350 Regen, easily. Just have to push the average DPS to 30k above which is easy as long you have high CC and CD.

Dont have to play 1 style la...balance is the key. LoH is essential...make no mistake. But ...it scales badly once you go beyond 1.2k or something like that. LS and LPSS is great to "compliment" LoH. I have all 3 now...actually 4.. 800 LoH (ahaha..I have a blue amulet that gives me 650 LoH...how about that and 45 LPPS, 2.5 % LS and 350 Regen. Its good enough as I find it is balanced that way. 4 ways of getting life back + BoH and spamming MoC overraw... I can face tank most mob in Act 3. Only Ghom is a problem...ahaha..that one just need pure LoH, which is weapon swappable... I can get about 2.5k LoH If I want..but DPS will drop like fly...to 14k DPS.Ahahaha..

I am thinking of dropping STI and maybe replace it with Transcence since with the 50% nerf to STI. But then again dont take my word as gold since my monk is the secondary toon I play.. (main is a DH) and most of my items are recycled DH gears.

100k DPS unbuff???

i hate imps..especially Molten/Fast imps...damn small and run around..knn.....chase them ..no LoH but keep standing on molten....gg fast!

Wow..nice 1.5k LoH with 5.6 LS....with your DPS ....solo 1 hour clear Act 3?

Krip video i thik was 113k damage = 8XX LoH.
But you think about it..100k unbuff will gain you approx 7xx life per hit if you got LS 3%. At the moment, LS is pretty cheap. Now I kinda of regret selling my Echo Mace with 3% LS. (hated the damn fear chance)..but the 1.2k DPS 1 hand with 1.45 AS was awesome

So true....the damage shown in inventory does not include extras like Fot 110% (which can be boosted by Helm for further +14%) and MoC/BoH extra damage. Thus even if your inventory show 100k DPS..you can whack at times 300k easily (assuming your crit at high level of the weapon base damage) plus with all the additional buff you get from eg FoT, additional lighting damage, MoC, BoH. Thus, the times where LS looks bad actually looks very good now . 300k if connect is about 1.8k life at 3%. If dual 3.6k at 6%..no LoH can reach 3.6k life period. Plus as Quaza said this is not inclusive of AoE...which I am hoping someone will answer.

Does LS proc with AoE? If yes..Sweeping Wind is IMBA!!!!

Thanks ...true..ahaha..100k = 600 life. I didnt even compute it..cause I just used Kripp figure of 113k for about 8XX Life.. ahaha..will edit it for clorrectness.

Well..actually you can Aleune...100k consistently is achievable nowadays....just go glass cannon ....I.e stack the highest DPS weapon with max dex and from Buffs...

BoH and MoC together (for 3 sec) gives 63% additional damage without any crits. So imagine a 1.2k mace with 2500 dex...with WOThF... me thinks its possible

Yes LoH is more direct..IMHO for a monk its not ideal. For the simple reason you need to hit a mob to regain the life, whereas my monk has sweeping wind which does not proc LoH, but still gives me LS. Dont you think the cyclone is wasted when it hits doesnt proc LoH. For me LS is better in the sense that once I get enough cyclones up...doesnt matter if the cyclones are hitting for 10k only as each hits would grant me 60 life return and that is not taking into considration that the damage I am whacking out. Its more effective in that sense...

Simple sikit-sikit lama lama jadi bukit...

I dont know for a fact..but my personal experiance is ..I used to have onlyLoH about 1.6k , Made a switch to LS + 775LoH, DPS didnt move a lot mabye additional 4K but I find that the LS+loH combo is more efficient in filing back my life compared with just pure LoH.

#Aleune - When I said LS doesnt need to be hit..it meant secondary damage dealers like cyclone..which once proac..you just let it run its course. Of course LS you still have to do damage to gain the life back thus you still need to "hit" mobs but you can do it various ways. LoH is constant hitting...i.e you must hit with your mouse pointer to get the loH, thus in situation when in CC, LoH is pretty useless, but LS still works=wind+cyclone. I hope you get it...

Hmmm....ya belapa? I also wannn..bidding a WKL 915 DPS with mains stats only no CD for about 350k...cheap ah? Just wanna test the +lightnign damage and see how it goes...ahaha..

Anyone using WKL? Any gooding ah?

for the chance of better lewts?
