It is luck.
I couldn't find any good gears pre-104 patch.
With the current patch, I have found Manticore & Zunimassa's Marrow at A3 Inferno.

Hi All....not sure where i should post this but I would like some feedback....

I've been trying to find other alternative builds but I'm stuck....can't seem to find a fast enough Spirit Generator to accommodate the new skills post 1.04.

Please take a look at my items and skills set and please advise...

You are stuck in progressing A4?
Or
You are stuck in upgrading gears?

I'm thinking of going along those lines...YES...better form of healing and would like to try out EP but the Spirit Cost is too high....so far my critical build is fine but needs better stats for assured survivability. The cost for LoH is ridiculous even after post 1.04 so i'm looking if LPSS is more viable.

Assuming you want to spam LPSS.

I don't see LPSS in your skill.
I don't see +LPSS in your gears too (weapon & helm).

How are you going to spam LPSS? hmm.gif

I'm stuck at upgrading gears...cos my average deaths per run is about 5. If there aren't any fire chains, i'm good.

Been farming for 2 months with the same gear and had a legendary mace to show for only. Really pathetic....what about you guys?

Are all monks going for critical builds?


Added on August 28, 2012, 3:41 pm

I can change whenever I want...you just don't see it in the link cos that's my standard build. But I AM thinking of changing to LPSS build.  smile.gif
*
5 deaths per run is okay for me.
Considering you don't have LOH.

Are you able to farm at A3? If yes, go farm at A3.
You get better gears there.

IMO, LOH weapons could be quite cheap. Look for spear & mace.
I have couple of 900+ LOH weapon for sale. Let me know if you want it.

You don't get high resistance if you have your build solely on arcane.

guys wanna ask...though the guide is quite accurate..just wanna confirm the passive one with everything ...lets just say i wanna build a monk and i wanna go cheap so i buy resist poison for every armor etc with a total 600 poison resist  and without all resistance, then i use this passive it will make it into all resistance right? 600 poison resist + passive = 600 res all?
*
Yes, that's how it works.
With the passive skill, poison resistance = resistance to all
But 600 resistance is still low. Not enough.

Do you plan to play other hero, like Demon Hunter?
Your gears will be useless on Demon Hunter if you focus on poison resistance.

So, my advice to you is, get the all resistance gears if you plan to play other heroes.
I used all my monk's gears on DH, except helm, weapon and off-hand.

I have been having fun with this build for A1& A2. Not able to farm A3 yet coz my AR too low. The build is focus on fast elite kill, DD Monk biggrin.gif

With your DPS, fast elite kill in solo mode, I think.

Any tips for gear upgrade? Trying to past that 50k dps, just ignore the skill part. Was testing WoL yesterday.
*
Your current gears are good enough.

What about LOH gears?
Keep your DPS at current level and improve your LOH.
You need to change your weapons, amulet and rings.

Your friend is making a right choice.
That is the right way to boost up the resistance.

My monk is built on all resistance + physical resistance.
I had easy time playing DH with these gears.

I dont have any LoH atm, been doing "ok" with potions and health globes. Hint..see my progression bar hahahahahha

Seems like bracers, shoulder and rings can use an upgrades. Any suggestions?
*
As I said, your current gears are good enough.
You have more than good enough crit chance and crit dmg.

If you want to upgrade, I think you can push more DPS.
You need crit dmg in your rings. You need higher DPS weapon (with crit dmg + socket).
These will not come cheap anyway.

I used to use weapons/gears with low LOH to complete Inferno. About 30-50K DPS (buffed) + 600 LOH.
Not much fun and need to be very careful in every step I took.

Now I use LOH weapons/gears. Lower DPS (26K) but a better tanker + better survival in general.
I just step on arcane + fire + poison and whack. I don't need to kite or use Serenity during Ghom fight.
I use my Monk to farm now. laugh.gif

tried a bit of A3 coop yesteday, seems hard to survive without any life sustain affix..

Should i get a LoH off hand to replace my current spear? I bet my DPS surely will go down a bit but at least gain some survivability.

Updated profile, change bracers n boot yesterday

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/waklu-6726/hero/16158459

I completed Inferno with about 30K DPS with 600LOH.
I changed some gears and my DPS increased to 50K DPS.
I kept my LOH at 600. I didn't find great improvement on "survival" (in co-op. I play co-op most of the time)

So, I went to AH and grabbed 2 cheap weapon with high LOH (both weapons cost me less than 5m in total).
My DPS dropped to 20-23K (I can't remember the exact number).
But surprisingly I was very comfortable in A3/A4.
I was quite surprise I didn't need to kite during elite/champion/Ghom/Azmodan/Diablo fights.

I needed to kite with 50K DPS (with 600 LOH).
I didn't need to kite with 20K DPS (with high LOH).

So, LOH is the answer for me.
I am very comfortable in both solo & co-op games.

P/S With your current high DPS, you should be quite comfortable in solo. Simply because you can kill fast.
But if you play co-op, you will face some issues because elites/champions/bosses have more HP and difficult to kill.
This is why I advised you if you can keep your current level of DPS + high LOH, you will be extremely comfortable in A3/A4.

Compare with IAS ( in the set's weapons ), and Crit DMG + Socket ( Normal Weapon ). Which is better?

Cuz very hard to get best of both worlds.

Im now on Crit Dmg + Socket, DPS only reach 40k DPS. Wanna hit at least 50k unbuff.
*
IMO, 40K and 50K DPS doesn't make huge difference, especially in co-op.
Keep your gold and wait for next major weapon upgrade (that gives 70K DPS).

Or

Spend your money on building WW-Torbado Barb.
How's your Barb?
WW-Tornado Barb kills monsters in bulk and gains Paragon XP points in "bulk" and collects gold in mass too. laugh.gif
