Reflect Damage dont really hurt as LOH and LS enough to sustain back.
Need wear all 4 full set ar?
I already have 2 already. Enough liao. I bought the pants and helm, which have resistance. I didnt buy the belt because it doesnt really help much.

And 3rd and 4th set bonus dont really help much. For next two items, i might as well buy natalya chest and ring, expensive yes but worth the money as 2 item adds 7.0 CC.

Inna pants have movement,IAS, and CC.

My playstyle weck only, no need chase, dmg high enough to 1 hit KO, so wont use SW much UNLESS elites and tons of mobs, as if got 3-6 mobs, i use SW, i dont get to regen the amount of spirit used.

Yaya boots, not chest. Hehe forgot its torso.

Helm cant cuz i use Inna edy.

Exactly Lol when fly away (knockback & freeze) Lol and I hate shielding too... Suddenly hp drop and out of serenity and straight Mati Katak~

the figure dps is merely a guide. I personally didn't take much attention to it. As long as I can ditch out 100k critical hit frequently (those yellow figures that pops out) and have as high LS/LoH as possible on high dps weapon.

Generally that number is basing on:
1. attack per second - sword is 1.4, dagger 1.5, Increase attack speed items adds on to the numbers.
2. critical hit chance (CC) & critical hit damage (CD), higher the better (and yes this is where it makes the numbers fly up to 100k @ 40%CC+400%CD)
3. item damage: for example your fist with 352-843 @ 1.54 spd willl yield (352+843)/1.54=920.3. If a same fist with 400-800 damage will yield 779 only.

Added on September 26, 2012, 3:22 pm6k armor with a shield is rather low. pump up your dex, str, armor. Should hit 7k++ with shield and 6k with dual wield.

Lost my bid for Reflection. DH ppl damn alot of money.

Tonight maybe buy Witching Hour and Vile Ward.

Other then Reflection what ring is good for monk? We dont say rare ring.

my advice is not to buy any rings and amulets now. if you have a godly ring, sell them now before the new patch comes out.
the prices are gonna plummet down very soon due to the fact that everyone is gonna get the hellfire ring that will be acc bound which ditch out 6-7mil crits on proc and also there will be ilvl63 rings and amulets on 1.0.5

this post is worth a few hundred mil gold.

have you not read what blizz has said at all? you're going to be taking less damage despite the defensive skills nerfing, less than pre-defensive-skill nerf.

their purpose is to loosen the reliance/mandatory requirement of said defensive skills/passives

sometimes, if you just read a few times over just to grasp on the situation, you would have a clearer perspective on how things work

the emphasis on MP is overall better quality of gear. damage requirement is heavily emphasized over your tanking capability as many have report that even with MP10, the dmg scaled wasnt much, while the monster health was easily few times of normal value.
(feel free to view the videos out there)

if a demonhunter with 150k damage spent few minutes on a WHITE MOB, and still couldn't even bring it to half health before dying, i think it speaks a lot on how much damage you need to do.

also, i believe you meant "clarify"?

i was under the impression that one does not require qualifications to express an opinion
(or "attribute", if you're using that definition anyways, then again it's not like i h ave superb command of the English language)

moving on.
you cannot claim that it is a nerf to monk on higher MP because EVERYONE'S defensive skills/passives received a global nerf. The intention behind the nerf was made clear as day as blizzard wrote it themselves that it is to free up the mandatory requirement of said defensive skills/passive. (granted you can argue that majority of ranged classes such as wiz/dh/wd barely uses them, but thats more of a never ending issue between melees/ranged. to be a fair, melees get additional 30% flat out damage reduction)

hell, the idea of MP is to have the game harder (however more rewarding!) and if things are easily tanked/LoH or LS'ed away, what is the point? you'll then have the hardcores crying foul about how they were promised a challenge.
let me remind you that inferno was initially intended for the most hardcore of players. look at its state today, everyone can access and clear it with relative ease.
mp10 is simply to bring back its stature, albeit granting players the option to scale it themselves rather being outward globally enforced.

if you still aren't getting it:
no you should not need to re-gear, nor the nerf is intended for you to re-gear (OwE talks/discussions/blizz official statements anyone?)
if you can't deal with x level of MP, simply get better gear, that's all there is to is to this game, it isn't rocket science.

oh and that LoH opinion? why can't you get LoH just like barbs do?
as as per your words:

how does this NOT affect survivability if LoH is one of a key attribute to survival?
you're contradicting yourself man

with all that said, you do at least got one thing right:
mp does not give better gear, merely a higher chance in getting them which indirectly have a higher chance in getting better quality gear
HOWEVER.
no, mf/gf is capped.
the bonus from MP goes BEYOND the cap (like how NV do over paragon)

I think every monk will suffer from the STI nerf. How many of us are getting 1k STR + 2k armor from equipment? I tried this way but it sacrificing my DEX so much that it affect the effect of the DEX on attacking side.

NOTE: +2k armor means on average your 10pieces gear had to have +200 on average. Not an easy choice as to compensate others losses.

I think we'll be seeing more MoE+HT in higher MP levels.

i would beg to differ that you were missing my point instead.
my point is mainly simple:
- it is not so bad to monks as you may think
- other classes faces the nerf too
- you will have worse things to worry about other than survival

ill pick WD/wiz as examples:

the change to energy armor means that wizards are getting shafted higher in overall damage reduction compared to monk. do take note on the 1:10 ratio, and having both armor/resistance reduction (better geared wiz all uses prismatic, not force armor) will reduce your overall dmg reduction greatly.

now for WD it is a bit tricky, (do correct me if i am wrong on the dmg reduction being multiplicative or additive, since WD are like so friggin rare and i dont even play one myself) if you are actually decently geared in armor and resistance, you will be getting a huge defensive nerf. however if you're a pure glass cannon that dies from basically anything in a hit, then not so much effect to you anyways.

now comparing to our fellow melee brother the barbarian:
i'll put it to you that barbarians have absolutely NO PROBLEM in gaining armor, they however may have some difficulty in gaining resistance considering that they do not have OwE and balancing a secondary resistance throughout all your gear pieces can be a difficult task (however rewarding if you can pull it off anyways)
and guess what:

welp! too bad, they now have even worse problems in gaining resistance now!

but you see, i firmly believe no one that's prepared to play in higher MP levels are gonna cry about defensive skills/passive change. because they are going to have worse problems in dispatching mobs. i don't know about you, unless your idea of wailing at a WHITE MOB for 5-10mins is your idea of fun, i am pretty certain that the huge majority of the community would want nothing of that sort.

if you get my whole point in the first place, you would immediately understand why most monk would not bother to re-gear and continue their pursuit in getting higher dps. (or overall higher quality gear)

on LS/LoH/healing, you're simply mixing things up. by your logic, even barbs/wiz are hit as bad as monks considering their nerf "scales" as MP goes up (again, by your logic)
the only class that are probably not affected by this are DH, however even blizz acknowledges that their class are very binary and are being look at (either you are godlike or you die even if someone as much as sneezes at a DH) and if you've seen the video of that 150k dmg DH (without SS) wailing at a white mob in mp10, i think the DH would have better concerns on how to buff dps over trying how to survive

on GF/MF bonus, it is only assuming if you are paragon 100 which im sure majority of us are still a long way to go in that. which comes down to stacking mf/gf gear, and doing that in mp levels is... kinda suicidal i would think.

So your retort is that warcry is still viable; So are you saying STI is no longer viable?

personally, i think you really need to read up maybe a little more, more so on blizzard's intention. if you still think it is too much of a nerf, perhaps you can go cry at the official forums than here. i don't think blizz reads LYN, and your intentions would be in vain (assuming your intentions are good)

very interested, but i don't have much, so too bad for me.

Would advise you to get a Damage Range on your Amulet, and Rings.

Get either Inna Belt or Inna Pants ( Pants would be better for Movement Speed, and Crit Chance, 2nd set grants you 130 dex since your have Inna Chest )

Got extra money, get a better boots. With set of Sage only grants you 35+ on Dex, if you have Inna Pants you dont need Movement Speed on Boots.

Try getting Arcane + All Resist + Higher Dex. For your other parts, try getting CC or CD, or IAS.

Resistant get around 500-600ish will be fine, providing you have enough dps and enough HP.

You can check my profile below, i have only 504 Resist and i could have 26K HP if i put a 17% Life Gem on Helm, but need exp now till PUSH Paragon to 50 before i change back.

Wah, bro...with your stats, can beat Inferno Diablo on previous patch or now? Or Co-Op?

You need to upgrade mostly everything. Whats your budget? As new patch might be out, try upgrading everything but not your Amulet n Ring, new patch will have iLvL63 which will roll much higher stats.

I would suggest up your Pants, Chest, Boots and Helm 1st.

Others hold on 1st as it will be expensive.

im still lacking on attack speed =.= currently only on 1.8x before pants and gloves
dunno can touch 2.00 or not
i heard (didnt read) that 105 will not affect legendaries. nat rings wont be lvl63. so those with uber stats or trifecta ones are still gonna cost a bomb!

Haha 1.0.4. Guess as much.

Yup, the one you got is godly.
With high AR.

i miss seeing "green" drop...

dunno apa itu, only see it drop from AH

same as you, pre ordered CE and playing since closed / open beta and eventually day.... 2/3 ( because lol CE shipment)
i did play a wiz (because rofl monks in inferno), however until today also havent 60 lol

i agree with 1 and 3, not so much 2
1) everyone is using shitty f***ing FoT/SW, and shitty stupid buffs
3) its sad they need to put a damn decimal on something so trivial? id bet people would complain less if it's 1/sec

now for 2:
its because of 1, STI is nerfed. its too much of a mandatory passive.
enchantress on the other hand, lets just say shes a mandatory follower and thats 1 of the reason.
id like to kinda switch to lyndon once a while because hes funny and would make grinding paragons a bit less of a chore but then again doing so would be stupid because he's practically useless.

giving a legendary to a follower to make him viable is hardly "viable" at all.

you can just say giving green lantern/stormshield etc to kormac makes him the ultimate tank for rangers, or legendary 2 handers with high ass dps and int so that eirena can 1 shot mobs in inferno (not that it wasnt possible pre 1.0.4 before they buff white mobs' health, and im sure people can easily do it with enough gear to eirena)
why bother knockback when eirena can 1 shot people and provide you with uber armor buff right?

they said they are going changing it, just not yet. i'll tell you straight up i'll still use STI until i see an offensive alternative (which as you said, none yet).
crying foul because they merely took the first step to promote more diversity is just too much of a whiner if you ask me. i mean, yeah sure it sucks to get nerf, however as i said it before and i'll say it again: what does crying about it (especially on LYN) do? hell, not to mention crying for the wrong purpose.

if you're gonna harp on monk viability, go harp on how useless other passives are, and provide constructive feedbacks about it. maybe it would actually not annoy me and post offensive replies.

LMAO LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
