So, waklu do you feel pain on RD elites?

Why all the numbers guys?
Get more AR and Armor. That'll do the job.

@2890
try inna pants with belt to get the dex bonus. and bt chest for the huge vit

Yup. I was also intruiged by the RD issue and done a fair bit of reading at battlenet. By the way, RD from what I read is is claimed at 20% and it appears there are some math to back this claim. To to hit home the message I just put an example

A toon with 3% LS at whatever DPS with 90% mitigation.

1. 100k hit

RD @20% = 20k reflected
Real damage = 20k x 0.1 =2k hit.
LS =100k x3% x0.2 = 600
Therefore net life loss is 1400 (2k -600)

2. 200k hit

RD@ 20% =40k refected
Real damage =40k x0.1 = 4k hit
LS=200k x3% x 0.2 =1200
Therefore net life loss is 2800 (4k -1200)

3. 300k hit

RD@ 20% =60k refected
Real damage =60k x0.1 = 6k hit
LS=300k x3% x 0.2 =1800
Therefore net life loss is 4200 (6k -1800)

Conclusion = same ratio no scaling. You noticed that the RD of 200k and 300k  is exactly 2x of 100k and 3x.

2. A toon with 2000 LoH at whatever DPS with 90% mitigation. on the assumption of proc rate of 100%

1. 100k hit

RD @20% = 20k reflected
Real damage = 20k x 0.1 =2k hit.
LoH =2000
Therefore net life gain/loss =zero

2. 200k hit

RD@ 20% =40k refected
Real damage =40k x0.1 = 4k hit
LoH=2000
Therefore net life loss is 2000 (4k -2000)

3. 300k hit

RD @20% = 60k reflected
Real damage = 60k x 0.1 =6k hit.
LoH =2000
Therefore net life loss of 4k. (6k-2k)

Conclusion: No fixed ratio. a 300k hit = 2x of 200k hit whereas a 100k does not lose any life.

p.s: Skorn that good meh???

p.s.s: But merging BT and Inna's pants is kinda bad i think. You get bonus from neither parts.

I have an insane TWH belt that i just can't drop. Man, don't tell me i have to drop mempo or TWH meh..

C'mon monk gurus, any more feedback??

now only you know how can monk thread roll 4 generations? Of course it was parasite-ed.

tak pe la we're all here to help each other as fellow monks. even if there are parasites, if they are also monks, does it make a difference?

you are not talking about me don't you    I spam so much here so I take the 1st slot of being parasited

woah there

from one thread to another and from one platform to another
just gotta bare with it i guess
will stock up on ridsect anda baygon when im active again

@2890..I dont think I am wrong about the compuation of RD. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Anyways, back to your toon, I would drop the depths but you will lose a lot of AR on that. DPS wise, Inna Temperance is hard to beat. Since you hit jackpot, perhaps an Inna Temprance with AR? Kacinnnnnggg!!

Chest, some say tal rasha is great..but I have to agree with most to say Blackthorns are probably BiS for the high AR and dex/vit roll best bang for the buck. If you really want to chase DPS, then mempo has to have CC, otherwise an Inna Radiance with 6% CC + 14% FoT bonus will smash it to bits. Tip 14% FoT >9% ASI> 14% SW bonus.

Keep the TWH la...I would trade a kidney for the TWH (virtual one la of course) ..lulz

IMHO, best gears for a monk

Innas: S.Stone + Pants
Nats:- Standard ring+boots
Chest:- BT
Belt: TWH

Yellow ..yellow for the rest. BiS gloves/bracers are always rares so too are jewelries.

Screw the RD math la. I headache also.

Inna Temperance with AR or VIT better??

My mempo has 3.5cc. So is it better to get a s.stone with FoT or just stick to the mempo? My friends are using a S.stone with SW on it.
