Just killed Ghom on my first try against him (cyclone makes it easy against him). However the journey from beginning of Act 3 till Ghom wasn't so easy. 95% of the time elites I meet have Arcane and I'll always die like nobody's business (Arcane + Molten + Plagued + Frozen I die faster than a glass cannon DH).

Feeling a bit sien to continue, do you guys think I should continue progressing Act 3 or keep farming Act 1 till I can die less (probably need atleast another 2 weeks of farming =/ and I don't play all the time)

My stats with enchantress (she has 4k dps) - 24k dps unbuffed, 1.82/2.02 aspd, 900 loh, 27k hp, 6k armor, 800 resist

Yea, frustrating to go through the elites. Any with shielding + floor skills, or arcane (5+ arcanes up at any time)

3 soket

btw .. Slowly movin to cd n cc build
Any one can suggest wats the ideal cc n cd?
Currently @ 22.9% cc n 120%cd

I read somewhere its 1:10 ratio. Ideally 40% CC and 400% CD. Maybe you want to up another 80% CD first? Personally I feel 20-30% CC is enough to spawn cyclone to make everything melt (with >1.7aspd)

Drop one of the skills and get Serenity. You'll never die again =D Mobs will die when serenity dies, most likely

Nice stats. Maybe you wanna increase your LOH to 800+? You can sacrifice some aspd / dex / vit for it.

Hm i try use serenity, after 3 sec, one or two hit, hp left half, use breath of heaven, tahan few more sec...then die

I try search AH for weapons, at my level dps around 2xx, cost 50k and above....100k to be save, which is about 1/4 of my gold, still trying to bid see can get any cheap weapon

Can try Ascension runes, 4 sec goes a long way over the heal. I assume you're not standing on any elemental floor damage (plagued, molten, desecrator) cause you're not supposed to. Since you use Mystic Ally, you can always use him as your 'decoy' while kiting, for e.g. while you're running away from mobs keep casting ally (b4 he dies cast another), until your heal / pot / serenity cooldown ends.

Yes, I would beg to differ because it doesn't tell the whole story in actual game play.
Barb may take lesser damage in this case but he has no healing skills. Gang-banged by 4 elites with waller/arcane/fire/poison.
Monk may have taken more damage but he can be healed in no time. Monk can teleport and skip arcane/fire/poison. Generally better chance to survive.

For Barb, A1 is easy. A2 is getting tougher (most can't dual wield). A3/A4 is pain in the ass.
Of course, for average gamer like me with 20K+ DPS/1000K Armor/1200AR/46K HP.
You can verify this with other Barbs in Barb thread.

Wow, 1000K armor. Should be able to faceroll D3 with a million armor. I'm pretty sure the damage reduction will even heal you back with that amount flex.gif

Btw, I thought Barb have that skill that returns 8% life? And they use LoH / Lifesteal too. Their lifesteal is better because of their mighty belt. Plus monk usually only use Blazing Wrath for heal, which heals a static 7k hp every 15 sec. Doubt we're healing better than barb with 8% from skill and up to 9% from lifesteal.
