Going to end Act 3 inferno soon, at the heart of sin now. after dying many time with dual weilding in act 3, no choice need to change to 1 hand dagger and shield combination.

current resist 1k, armor 7k unbuff, DPS 17k unbuff(with 765dps dagger). very slow on taking out monster, and not enough money to buy better DPS weapon with good stat.

until now i nv use Loh weapon item before, is it really help alot in surviving?

LOH between 300-600 is ideal.

just when i thought i finally found a good item 1-hand sword with 840+ dps...then it says only barb use !#!@#@!

Guys! Need help about crit build.

Everyone talking about it. So, I decided to try it out. Mostly using drops. Managed to take crit% to 20%, crit damage still just 50%. That is without scarify too much on my other stat.

So, I roll out in Act2, Sweeping wind+Cyclone, kill a few elites. BUT:

First spam on Sweeping wind almost like no cyclone. Need to spam it 3 times to get lotsa cyclone?

75*3 = 225 spirit

Since I only have 150 spirit, need to wait quite a file to build it up so that I can spam 3 times. My atk speed is ~ 1.82. It takes quite awhile to get cyclone to it's max stack. So, crit build must have higher IAS as well?

For just 30 minutes of testing at really low 20% crit and 50% crit dmg... it's killing slower than my usual build:

Vortex Jailer ReflectDamage Illusionist (easy) - 20 seconds

Question is; do we need to stack up Cyclone to 3 stacks?

IIRC, the tooltip should say there's a chance of generating a cyclone on crit hit only when you are at max stacks already (i.e. 3 stack). I no money to change gear to CC/CD tho so I no use that skill. Plus since already beat Inferno feel lazy to spend money to upgrade, now just farming and selling itamz on RMAH only.

still looking for ways to buff dps

Wah 17k unbuff... i 22k unbuff also damn slow in killing elites. My LoH is at 1k it doesn't help a lot vs elites but white mobs u can just run in and take em all without any worry.

i have no LoH and my resist is about 700+ armor unbuff about 5k

crit chance 37% crit damage 380% killing elites in act 3 about 20-30secs

if there are no retarded affixes such as invulnerable shielding bla bla

dps 47k with blazing wrath

u no need to spam.. the Sweeping wind will stack.. once you land a crit hit on enemy, it will stack to 2, and so on.. up to 3 stack max...
after the full 3 stacks, if u land a crit hit on enemy again, it will generate lightning tornado...

i try replace flash blind to sweeping wind ... just to try... but end up.. i notice that sweeping wind x jadi bcoz I need to kite around on certain elites.... (fire ground, poision ground.. etc..) =/
so i use back flash blind for the 30% dmg increase every 15second...

I also trying CC , CD build... my CC is 22.5% .. my atkspd around 1.8 as well... i try use way of hundred fist with blazing fist.. ... chances of landing crit hit are high.. and fast ..(due to the atkspd incrase) but... ... i need to move really close to hit the target.. =/ so.. i giv up as well.. use back deadly reach... slower.. but. to survive.. .. >.<

Need to spam wan meh? I think you misunderstand d.
Cyclone will only come out after you have 3 stacks. Which mean you need 3 critics minimum.

Use thunderclap coz got radius, sometime if hit 3 target all 3 got critic, can straight get 3 stacks d. Very fast.

Thanks for the explanation! I totally miss-understood that Cyclone thingy. Will experiment with it again.

I am like you, using blinding flash at the moment. Killing is fast... but only in Act2!

thunderclap ? the distance far ar???

Thanks. I understand now. How fast is it to kill a group of elite with cyclone? Generally?

depends on dps, crit chance and crit dmg

I really like your build actually. If you also have problem in Act3, I guess Act3 and crit build is not for me.

Just want to ask, since your armor is low, have you try use "Evasion+20%armor"?

Thunderclap has low distance, just like WoTHF. I recommend you switch from Deadly Reach to Thunderclap+Evasion+20% armor. I hope to see you kill elite less than 20 seconds in Act2... it will give me reason to invest in Crit build.

Personally thinks that Deadly Reach+Keen Eye and Lashing Tail Kick+Sweeping Armada does a nice defensive job. Instead of killing elites I try not to get killed by elites

My current build:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk...;dXU!ZZZcac

thunderclap is teleport wan. I micro teleport if got arcane, descretor and so on.
short range, got small radius but punch faster.



cyclone kill fast if you got a lot of mini thunder storm. 20% damage from each
I can fill up the map 10+ storm

How fast u ask? read the comment

I 've been using this build since the patch. Shhhh, inb4 blizzard nerf

i all the while using MOE +20% amor.. ...
my previous LOH build w/o CC and CD .. can survive and take down elites in act 3.. but killing damn slow...
but i switch to CD and CC build... got problem to survive.. .. i guest cd and cc build is for super high dps monk... me average dps monk kenot..

let me try thunderclap...hmm

yalo, that y i felt very very slow killing mobs, even the white mobs...... i tried use duel weild, can get up to 23k unbuff but die very fast......due to less 120 resist and 1200 armor from the shield. how i hope i have 100million that i can spend on a 1200++ damage weapon with good stat.

i suggest if you want to use thunderclap better use it with MoC + overawe.

you need to kill as fast as possible.

skills that im using

Mantra of Conviction + Overawe

Blinding + Faith in Light

Heal + Blazing

Serenity + Ascension

Sweeping Wind + Cyclone

FoT + Thunderclap

Passive
Resolve + OneWEverything + Seize
