u can opt to get LOH from ring & amulet after 1.0.5 buff. This will open up alternative for u to get a decent weapon to boost ur dps.

nice gears there, but wont u have a problem with reflect dmg at higher MP? imo dual LS(5.5+) is better than 2.2k loh easily, since i am getting more than 5k+ LS atm with dual wield LS weps, been running alot of MP10 ubers lately without problem, maybe u shud swap LoH with LS...and yes your HP seems really low since u have purple gem inserted...
*
Interesting. What are ur ias, cc, cd and dps in order to make 5.5+ LS effective?

as long as above 50k unbuff should be good. Which, translated to about 36%CC+300%CD and you can recover about 10k health per hit - 25% on average monk 40k hp. the IAS is just that per seconds you hit more which more you heal. A 1.5 AS hit and 2.0 AS hit per hit is the same.
*
the reason i asked so coz i'm having 100k unbuff dual wield with 3%LS, ias 2.5+, cc/cd 3x/3xx but i cant stand on molten, arcane and poison. If 5.5% LS does make the diff, i prolly will keep my gold for LS enchoing fury or something similar.

End up i use back my skorn which is more efficient to kill elites by 7sss taking off 40% of their life. 7sss didnt work well with dual wield unless ur main hand is high dps (my 1h main hand is enchoing fury 1k+dps).

does monk go for skorn?
1307dps, 305dx, 198CD, 1895 LOH

how much this worth?
*
Haha i'm one of the skorn user. I'm enjoying the massive hit instead of speed. Finger pain at kip spamming LMB on dual wield.

Why? Just press and hold la...


Added on October 30, 2012, 5:01 pmWhat is the proc coefficient for LoH in inferno? a 900LoH gear can still hit one mob and gain back 900 life per hit?
We all know LS is 20% in inferno.
*
Used to hold prior to MP introduction. Nw I felt spam will hit faster. Prolly the mob long hp play a part.

M2K2land, the reason I opt out fist bcoz I wan a decent weapon for multi char.

1h wise I prefer echoing fury for the 0.24 atk spd. Godly when it comes with 11% atk spd

Should have use this skill long before..it makes travelling/escaping so much easier...EXCEPT for the fact that this skill cause rubberbanding..
Just for the record, I only run MP1, thus my survivability with that amount of LS is very very high indeed.. 2 bell skill, Elite down.

I never tried past MP1 as for farming goes, and I believe DW is way better for a "prolonged" fight for higher MPs. I'm not sure if you ever seen Nisse's stream on twitchtv.

Nisse Stream

He/She is LS Skorn user with over 200k DPS, but i never saw him farm solo on MP10 yet using his Skorn setup, only in party. So I honestly don't know the viability of LS Skorn for higher MPs
Skorn is most efficient in lower MPs farming, couple with 4 set Innas, I just burned through everything without worrying much on Sweeping Wind spirit cost. And I manage to grab my Skorn for 50M, which to ME, is like an awesome deal.
*
50m for ur skorn is awesome deal for sure... why not u chg ur passive exalted soul to STI since ur sweeping wind has spirit requirement reduction and it costs 75 spirits w/o inna set bonus. i dun tin exalted soul will be useful to u..

ur RES i think is sufficient for MP6 if ur armor can pump to 5k at least. should try that since u have 100k unbuff..

Tested with LS 3% n Loh 5xx dual wield on 100k+ dps unbuff. Nt bad as I can stand on desecrator, poison and arcane but nt anything that stacked 2 and above.

Next to upgrade my main hand from no LS/LOH to a min 2.5 LS main hand.

@Yuhhaur, agreed that 5LS & 1500loh wil b fantastic bt dun tin I can afford such weapons while maintaining my dps.

On uber boss fight u guys discussed, I think simply the uber boss hit is too painful that u may loss 75% hp by 1hit and the LS/LOH is not fast enuf to recover ur hp before the second hit. Armor loss in 1.0.5 for monk is more significant than other class. This made vile ward a mandatory eq as it has min 600armor.

@cow, Nola is mp6. My hp, armor n resist and more importantly dps are still low for mp10

By the popularity, usually the gear will be like
Pants- inna temp
Shoulder- vile ward
Boots- nata blood footprint
Ring- nata deflection
Belt- the witching hour
Suit- inna vast or blackthorns
Helm- andariel or inna or mempo
Amulet - blackthorn (if u use the suit then u may want to combo for bonus 100 vit)
Rest- rare

Did I miss out anything?

Thinking to swap my fire gear to poison so I can benifitted from my andariel helm poison resist. But it would b a major revamp and end of day, need alot money to do that.

Shouldn't choose fire resist from day 1. Haha

lol gd suggestion bt for long run fire resist item still always higher than other elemental resist.

Just dun understand what is the hype on fire resist. Anyway my andariel just 14% more fire taken. Still acceptable for me. Till I can afford a mempo with atk spd and cc.

Monk section so quiet today.

Been shopping AH & RMAH over the weekend but yet to find a gd upgrade to my gear. The echoing fury with LS, dex & slotted prop is so bloody ex.

Btw, for solo game which follower u guys prefer nw post 1.0.5? I'm using a 16k dps scoundrel for the 3cr passive buff

Used to be enchantress but I think depends on ur gear setup. Scoundrel gave me more dps n I like the stun skill he has.

16k dps all from the rare gear that unable to sell in AH plus a hellfire ring. Too lousy stat just gave it to my scoundrel. More or less ur followers will help in killing mobs so b generous abit to them. lol

I used to have 49cc bt like nt much diff to 40cc. Then I swapped my amulet to 90cd with 300vit. Drop abit in dps bt gain like 4k++ hp.

Have big trouble to get hp in other parts like shoulder that usually cost a bomb. Inna temp only ar or hp and I have chosen resist. Economical choice.

4k hp vs 60resist bt dps remains unchanged.

Choose hp then I gt 41k hp bt resist is 640
Choose resist then I gt 36k hp bt resist 700

Which 1 is better? Opinion pls

Edited: typo on 36k hp. Initial typed as 35k
