then can i say that life steal is good for a 100K+ DPS barb but not so good for a 100k+ DPS monk?

Barb life steal can go up to 12% (6% weapon + 3% belt + 3% passive) but monk only max at 6% weapon.

if both crit 200k damage:
barb = 200K * 12% * 20% = 4800 LS
monk = 200K * 6% * 20% = 2400 LS

am i calculated correctly?

Yes the calculation is correct.

But due to the nature of monk play style vs barb play style, we had to stand and whack where barb just throw/spin around. They definitely had more advantage.

yup. luckily monk have serenity. if 1 day lizzard nerf this skill then we all can gg close this threat.. laugh.gif

lol ... okok.
But the price is really dropping fast compare with 1 month ago.

btw, i bought a WKL to test the effectiveness of FoT & SW after saw an interesting discussion about WKL vs Shenlong yesterday.
i'm lazy to bid, 5m buyout for a 891DPS with 296Dex WKL:

[attachmentid=3166035]

i paired it with another axe that i bought long time ago, <5m, it has some LOH & LS;
i tested solo against MP10 SB & Azmoddan and surprisingly it can take down them in 5-8mins (can't remember the exact timing)
WKL really synergy well with FoT & SW, i can see their life are draining fast.
a pair of 10m weapons had done a good job thumbup.gif

if u r playing FoT & SW, no doubt WKL is the best weapon to looking for.

2. uber mp10
- max armor+resist you can stack
- high LS+LoH (I got like 5.5%LS+800LoH), tried 3%LS+800LoH on ghom, very dangerous as hp fluctuate +-20k, if failed to dodge raka's attack, might gg.com
- 50% dodge (I prefer, optional) since almost everything except the fart can be dodge
*
hard to maintain nice dps + 5.5LS + 800LOH from weapons, that will cost lot of $$.
perhaps we can get 800 LOH from amulet & ring hmm.gif

hi yuhhaur, which manta you used to do MP10 uber? overwave or hard target?

Come to think of it, the sickle with stun is a pretty good combo. Anyone had any success with Lashing Tail?

And is anyone using Exploding Palm like me? I think the rune that gives 12% additional damage for 9 seconds is quite comparable to MoC: Overawe.
*
i never try that, but seem like it is a nice rune to use against ubers.

i take a look on monks skill and found actually monk really have many skills to buff the damage for whole party:
1. crippling wave (breaking wave) - 10% for 3 sec [debuff target]
2. Manta of Conviction (Overwave) - 24%, 48% for 3 sec [debuff target]
3. Exploding Palm (The Flesh is Weak) - 12% for 9 sec [debuff target]
4. Breath of Heaven (Blazing wave) - 15% for 45 sec [buff only player]
5. Guiding Light - 16% for 15 sec [buff everyone within 12 yards when use Breath of Heaven]

in total we can buff the damage for whole party up to 86% (#1, #2, #3, #5);
and buff player itself 101% (#1 - #5)!

all these numbers are not display from our sheet damage rclxms.gif

can check whether below skills still can improve?

ok, understood the percentage shouldn't just add up like this.

let say we hit a white damage 1000, how the skills work on this number if the target is under below effect?

1. crippling wave (breaking wave) - 10% for 3 sec [debuff target]
{Enemies hit by Crippling Wave take 10% additional damage from all attacks for 3 seconds}
+100 dmg?

2. Manta of Conviction (Overwave) - 24%, 48% for 3 sec [debuff target]
{Increases the strength of Mantra of Conviction so that enemies take 24% additional damage and 48% for the first 3 seconds}
+480 dmg?

3. Exploding Palm (The Flesh is Weak) - 12% for 9 sec [debuff target]
{Also causes the target to take 12% additional damage for 9 seconds}
+120 dmg?

4. Breath of Heaven (Blazing wave) - 15% for 45 sec [buff only player]
{Breath of Heaven increases the damage of your attacks by 15% for 45 seconds}
+150 dmg?

5. Guiding Light - 16% for 15 sec [buff everyone within 12 yards when use Breath of Heaven]
{Whenever you use a direct heal skill on another player you and the other player deal 16% more damage for 15 seconds}
+160 dmg?

i know the number might not accurate, but i think it is good for us to understand more on how it mean and how it work right? icon_rolleyes.gif

to the certain extend, i do agree with para.
i did a quick test on the early morning by using both MoC & exploding palm.
i do have problem run out of spirits by spamming MoC & exploding palm where i can't keep spamming MoC for every 3 sec sad.gif
i think it is not so wise to use huge pool of spirit to mark a single target for extra 12% damage. i better reserve the spirits for MoC's AoE extra 24% damage every 3 sec.

if you have no problem with spirit management for both MoC & Exploding Palm then it will be another story.


wow moba, ur DH so OP? sweat.gif

if you have +elemental % dmg gear, then yes.

hi Quaz,
does it mean that the "Adds 6% to Lightning Damage" make it as black?
and, if it only have "+36% Damage" then it is just a normal weapon?
