lol.. no mah.. mayb some will think that won kim lau is better or some may say other weapon mah...

i just want to ask advise whereby echoing fury vs other monk weapon, is it worth getting it or go for other options like won kim lau?
*
I have both. Sold echo (had 2 ...from drops 1.2k dps no sockets though). WKL is better if you play FoT and SW cyclone. Can really see the diff when you ahve at least 6% Lighting damage/ 23-25% lightning skills.

I hated echo becasue of the fear. Mine had quite high fear rate (16-18%) so... mobs keep running away which is not very good if you are a tanking monk. But Echo has a nice +0.2X attacks, which will add to the offhand, i.e if offhand is a mace, it will be 1.2 +0.2X per sec. so dual weilding will be very good. Paring it with WKL or Buring Axe of Suckis (sarkis)..is very good as you get the additional bonus for the +min damage + max damage.

The problem with WKL..is low DPS..getting a WKL > 1k DPS is very rare. Really good WKL, i.e 9XX DPS socket + LSi with nice bonus (6%, 23-25%)is pretty expensive but to me its will be best weapon (offhand) for a monk on Fot / Sw. Also you can consider Buring axe, just change SW cyclone to fire...got life steal ...nice!!!!..watch them burn and you gain life..smile.gif

woh.. thanks bro... this is really helpful.... so mainly people go won kim lau for offhand ah?
*
Yup. WKL mostly as offhand as DPS not high enough to be main. If go WKL as off hand ..for the mian hand make sure you get highest damage range (the little number thats says 600-900 damage) and look for +min+max damage as the 5-6% bonus will apply. The 5-6% bonus will not apply to elemental damage eg like +300-600 poison damage).

I wonder how many monks are not using OwE. I wish one day I can drop this passive. Now already dropped STI.

Summerfist..you drop STI opt for what passive. I also thinking of dropping STI but dunno what..cause the rest is pariah..

Currently, STI, OWE and Resolve. By the way..I pala monk to tank..smile.gif Can tank in co-op up to MP8. Dual weilding too hard for MP6-8...GG too fast.

A variety of choice. Some times I take fleet foot, lately been loving the six sense's high dodge chance. My effective dodge with MoE buff is now 6x%


Added on October 24, 2012, 4:09 pmI now feel like Matrix's Neo tongue.gif

Ooo...you not 24% MS meh? I dun need fleet footed as I got 24% liao. Guardian Path not gooding? 15% dodge? To be honest, I really dont like dodge...so many things cannot dodge wei... arcane, molten, plague..yada yada....I just want somethng useful..and combo strike is really octopus hand use nia...

So you MoE hard target to replace your STI? I cant gip up my overraw wei....cause my DPS low at 40k when in pala mode..smile.gif. I rememebr yesterday I tank Siege/Kulle at MP7, wahsei..my mates go kill Kulle while I drag the fatty away ....after they kill Kulle ..Siege had like 90% health left ahahahaahahaha...

I lol at ur comment... yes i agreed pariah passive for monk...

STI & OWE for me is must.

Guardian Path/Combine strike/Resolve - Depend on Situation(s0lo or team)/Mantra I use.
*
Guardian path for you cause 2 hand ma... I pala tank so GP useless. I hope next patch Blizz will give a good offensive passive to monk like DH (Archery), barb (Boon)..cobo strike is just too complicated for me ....tekan 1,2, 3 whack..most of the time I tekan 1, 2 ....not enough spirit........!!!!

Sorry guys for the late reply..was out last nite..smile.gif

Sold to someone for 50M. I guess the person who bought it is flipping it...its up in AH starting bid 60M..lol...GL to him though tongue.gif

I guess its the +6% to base damage and the +20% sweeping wind cyclone is good..thats what he said..oh well its gone and hope I get another drop like that again...or a damn witching hour with dex..smile.gif

so i see main problem is AR and the life steal
i've tried to stack as much IAS but the dps doesn't really go beyond 40k unbuffed.
im guessing next upgrade is CC%
i thought about shields but previously all shields rolls barb stats only, which is why i invested on fist weapons because of the attack speed.
if you're looking at my current build it's not the usual build i go with coop.
i run on MoE most of the time, with cyclone, with combination strike passive. i only switch to conviction with SW when i go solo because i kill everything before i have problems tanking. im hoping to improve my monk to be able to have more dps when im tanking.
*
Well to be honest if you want to tank...take a shield with 2x resisit + armor + Vit in your inventory. I have a really nice shield for ooo...shhhheeeeet crazy afflixes. 20% block chance, 74 AR +26 Poison res, 54 Str, 85 Dex, 176 Vit, 315 Armor + 7% CC. Absolutely glorious when I want to tank..smile.gif. Only down side of shield is that you lose 15% ASI but if as long you are still 2 hits per sec with some decent LoH (LoH would be preferable since your dps takes a big dip if swiiching over to shields) ust spam MOC while standing there. block chance not so great but...the reason you getting the shiled is to buff the armor/res..not for the block chance (its a bonus for me)

I agree with quaza that transendence would be better when shielding as you will spam MoC/boH/Blind to push your dps..or MoE..to really make you tough as a diamond..

Monk can do away the shield because monk can have 7K armor + 1.1K AR without the shield.
So, shield is not needed.

If you use shield, you have one lesser LOH/LS gear, which is essential in tanking.
*
7k armor? Buffed or not?If not thats a lot of armor meaning almost all gears have +armor afflix in return meaning $$$ with 1.1k AR can be done..been there but the dps takes such a big hit..you get pretty bored trying to kill white mobs at MP5-6.

I can only tank siege/SK with a shield in MP8. Ghom is a joke as long as you have Loh/LS.

Me think the max block chance roll for sacred shield is 20%....+ any bonus lor.

I've always wondered if the block chance is really important? Cause the block is like 3-4k damage right..? Thats a pretty small percentage from what the E dish out

I pick a shield for the Armor + AR boost it gives. CC is a must...and any main stats will be a additonal bonus.

Lol..but ASI is quite addictive.....when you see your toon zap zap zap faster..you think wooohhhhh geng.. but mana tau..increase in DPS is ... doh.gif

Personally I think as ling its stacked above 2 hits persec..enough..for LoH purpose. Anything above that increase CC with CD will boost the dame a lot higher..

Witching hour damge boost is mainly from the CD and not from the ASI..smile.gif

I was with close to 400CD but die too often. At the end I just screwed it and go for LoH route and now my CD down to 275%.
*
Ah...how? YOu should have at least 200 from weapons, 60% from ring/ammy another 20-30 from gloves. Which should put you in 300-350% range ler...

I am at 315%CD, with 36% CC also LoH at 900, 3%LS, regen at 500 with 75k DPS... at 75K DPS..900 LOH is enough..as I notice the LS will overtake the life leech from LoH

the only reason to use MoH is time of need +20% AR
life regen and its shield boon and + 20%, has nothing to do with 16% dps increase.

spamming MoH only allows higher regen, and applies a shield buff (which is mostly useless lol)
read guiding light passive:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/class/monk/passive/guiding-light

so by right, MoH's HOT (healing over time) shouldn't apply.

EVEN IF however it does apply, MoC still yields 24% dmg scaling and 48% upon activation, and you can still use BoH (15% urself) to add another 16% to yourself and whoever that is healed and BoH is guaranteed to work without a doubt.
*
Only crappy thing is that BoH radius is so small..its like all of your allies need to be next to you to benefit the heal and GL buff...utterlly useless when you meet desc/arcane and wallers...

monk experts, can advice me what kind of bracers do i need to upgrade?
im feeling lacunis are not really good because i already have enough IAS. not sure which.

should i upgrade my gloves? i picked up this gloves and was using them since. am feeling my gloves are a bit lousy.
*
Lacuni more for the MS. You really need to aim at least 22 MS....if you got Inna's giving you MS the n you can ditch lacuni.

Bracers just look for rare which gives you 6% CC with highest AR. If you are a cold monk I can offer you a 6 CC, 77AR 46 Cold r and 93 Dex bracers. I think for bracers dex is capped at 200 max...

Sometimes I find that if we wear too many legendaries/set, it will somehow hinder the creativity of gearing.

heheh..true...simple case like bracers and gloves..most of the time rares are better than lagendaries smile.gif

I wonder do we get an achivement if we gear in all legendaries/sets... hmmmm
