QUOTE(Slythape @ Nov 15 2012, 09:37 PM) You should get inna's temperance, its has really good dps and move speed too, as you are lacking movespeed. Change your left ring to something with crit, dex, average damage. Basically for dual wielding you'd need weapons with decent dps, socket with crit damage but it'll be expensive, budget stuff you could get non socket and get LoH. You should change your shoulders for something with vit too. Your bracers could be upgraded with a lacuni for movespeed to get 24% with inna's temperance Thanks for the feedback bro! For shoulders, should i get vile ward? I was actually thinking about the lacuni bracers too...hmmm For the weapons, how would you describe decent dps? 1k weapon damage considered the minimum to look for?

Vile ward is pretty overpriced if you want vit on it too, might as well get a rare. Decent dps weapons are about 850+ with a socket and crit damage and dex, anything above that you'd need to pay an arm and a leg for it. You'd lose dps tho when you switch from your skorn to two 1 handers unless they have good stats. I myself use a 2hander to power level paragon but when I'm actually farming I dual wield.

I've done some window shopping for two 1-H and its definitely overpriced. Maybe I should get started with a lower dps and slowly farm items in the hope to get a godly drop. I was hoping to reach the 60k dps range with two 1-H to start with and at least 2.0+ attack speed/sec. At least mathematically i'll deal 120k dps / sec. Sounds logical?

Eh not 100% sure about the dps but if you're staying 2hander for now, you should use bells, unless your profile is for something different. Might as well farm some paragon levels with the tempest rush build as it is so good. But you should really get some movespeed to make things better

Thats fine if you use it for leveling paragon and its pretty needed for tempest rush, you won't be using MoH:Circular Breathing for groups tho, so change when needed

My AR 550 + armor also in the range of 5k+, no problem surviving mp7, need to keep spamming overawe to counter the slow killing. Worst case I just switch on paramonk mode with sti + Moe ht. As long as you can effectively keep your hp up.
I will go mia for a week for holiday away from d3, so wish all monks happy farming.

LOL my target = 100k XD shenlong is good but 900++ dps and above = pricey. i gotten one - Fist of Legend with 1033dps, IAS and CD, for around 8 mil. is the lowest I see and i believed the seller setting it wrong. so quickly purchase it  my target is reaching 100K dps unbuff, currently sitting at 82K. hmmm....

I have about 550+ for ubers, and about 300+ for paragon leveling (mp0) QUOTE(duabijitelur @ Nov 16 2012, 10:38 AM) need some advice here http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/duabiji...85/hero/4396871planing to get a shenlong set for upgrade i think abt 9xx dps per weapon suitable? LOL my target = 100k XD You should change your helm for inna's radiance for dex and a socket, get inna's belt since you're using depth diggers, but I would suggest getting inna's temperance anyway, you could change your neck for something with dex then other stats. For weapons, change to whatever you can afford, make sure it has a socket, decent dps, dex and life steal or life on hit. This post has been edited by Slythape: Nov 16 2012, 02:43 PM
