Most problems arise for me in mp8 and above is molten combo with stuff like reflect damage cause I'm using my echoing fury and I just fear them away thus making it annoyingly hard to hit, usually if I do get my stuff up, not really a problem, its an issue if you party with lower geared people if you're doing mp8.

Other than that, having 2.8% lifesteal is pretty ok, and farming mp8 is pretty pointless anyway, faster to farm in mp1 or 2

Here's my stats, probably looking to get a decent vile ward for more defensive stats, should be better

Any other monks do benchmarks? Like how fast tank Ghom/Assmodan/SB/etc...

Can just stand in mp10 with another party member(dead) azmodan

i meant is the process all facetank? no kiting.

MP10 ghom facetank..easy..others im not yet....

just facetank

I facetank SB till 50% hp (about 116mil hp left out of his 33x mil hp)

OMG! 150k DPS! Stack all Lightning! Good to know that is doing good and seem lower resist and armor does not matter anymore!

Stacking 1 resist seem like a very economical way to hit higher DPS. Can get great Inna Radiance with decent Vit and just Poison resist less than 1 mil Inna's Temperance with just Poison resist also way cheaper... I am so tempted to buy them all!!!

BUT... i m so scare Bliz nerf OWE in next patch... according to Blue post, they will work on Monk next...

More over, farming is not an issue for me since I typically farm in MP5 or lower...

To spend or not to spend?!!!! End up... I keep my gold.

but im not a 100k dps toon

and yes, i love the WKL a ton. streaks of lightning across the screen with body parts attached to it is just... amusing even till this very day. never get bored of it XD

and my main is an ordinary rare with a low 2.2 LS (and thats my entire life leeching/sustainability lol!)

Enjoy the dps boost 1st. Think owe nerf later. The more u play the faster u kill, u r getting bc whatever u hav invested.

Interesting to know at least 2 monks here with 150dps unbuff. Pro!

yes i need to kite abit in higher MP but its not as bad as u think...add me aventador#1536 we can play together, i am farming key at MP9(rarely die) and only doing mp10 uber runs(tanking ghom poison cloud---constant dmg) and u dont need LoH, thats whats the top monks told me, they are all 150-250k...I am not here to argue with u since i am just a noob that listen to my sifus...i have them on list u can argue with them...not me XD. And yes u are right if i stop hitting i will die, but isnt that the same to everyone at mp10? O_O

@cow
yeah i had 5k armor and only dropping 200+ it doesnt really matters

Thats the blizzard quote, they want to fix/change it but they do not want the money we've spent on our gear to be invalid, so they might do things like 80% effectiveness of the resist? something like that I guess, so many monks i've seen are jumping ship to AR, true it has higher resist potential but the cost in return is not worth it for me and we get the short end of the stick as our set items has no initial AR roll compared to lets say barbs or WD. They need to fix those first before fixing OWE.

Just my 2c.

Also, screw witching hour, its like 20k dps gain but I lose every bit of defensive stats a belt can give unless I have billions lying around to get a good one

Pretty much having 5% lifesteal with high dps you don't need LoH as you can gain more by getting more offensive stats such as crit damage/attackspeed or crit compared to getting something with life on hit on amulets/rings/weapons.

while its only mp5, im surviving pretty OK wut since my crit dmg provides decent life back from 2.2% LS LOL

Added on November 6, 2012, 4:36 pmi dont get why people still uses ghom as a benchmark when:
1) not a main boss
2) nerfed beyond redemption
3) supposedly enrage timer removed? rofl

Added on November 6, 2012, 4:38 pmlol i got mine for 1.5m, go get it if its an upgrade then

MP10 enrage timer ada la boss... MP9 no.

mp10 is none of my concern. ill worry about it when i reach there

If possible change your neck, get something with both crit and crit damage with dex or crit with dex and average damage, neck pieces give one of the most dps there.

Could change your gloves to something with crit damage instead of attack speed

Maybe change your axe to something with higher dps and crit damage and a socket, it'll improve your dps by lots

thx for the advise.
I got a Mara http://d3up.com/i/1190470 as alternate. Glove I changed from CD/CC axe is my main source of life recovery. I scare I cannot withstand higher MP without that 900LoH+2.4%LS...

Still funding for these items.

Summerfist....I think you can drop LoH from one of the weapons and get a 3LS 1k Handweapon with Dex and some vit and socket. As your dps goes up...the LS will scale better and will ultimately outpoint the LoH.

Noted with thanks.
