well everyone is getting socketed weapons. So to get awesome damage u need to pump CHD into your weapons
You need to get your armors strong enough to support dual sock shenlongs. Otherwise you wont get much out of sock weapons. I just reached my goal of 100k dps with shenlongs no sock.
well i'm wearing most of my DH gears so didn't need OWE.
I don't think 2.7LS is enough. Man, don't tell me i'm gonna be forced into using a LS EF. How do u guys deal with RD mobs?
I never had any issues with RD mobs without LS. 2k Loh + 500 life regen is enough to deal with RD. But sometimes there are like 5,6,7 (horde minions) of them with RD and I try to burst them down with FitL + MOC, I got some damage back. The rest of the time is alright.
@2890 Maybe try to time your skills correctly (Serenity, BoH, FitL, even MOC). Yes MOC. If you cant tank them, dont use MOC + FitL to burst them down. You die faster. Try to kite a little so you dont hit more than 3 or 4 at the same time. Having 2 mobs doing RD is better than a bunch. Beware on horde + RD mobs.
Hope that helps. Otherwise you need to start gearing up on armor, resists, life regen.
@Everyone Does RD scales the same for all MP? Not sure about this but what I experience, the damage reflected is the same.

no no no don't go OwE route. that is the bad choice to go OwE on your current setup.

Added on December 20, 2012, 4:40 pm inna pants: 50AR cost at least 30mil. I checked for this day by day so that I can motivate myself in getting one inna chest: me dun dare to look at it
Yeah. Those 2 piece you get huge dex huge vit/hp and AR will balance those out. Not to mention, both piece comes with max sockets.
Can i be a tanker monk? =p kinda stuck with my current built.. Change my previous shenlong with +OS (-200% cd) with 5.9 LS and 1.8k loh =(
Not sure if its the best choice. RA get CHD roll 90% above, since its cheaper than a socket and you need to get a gem for it. losing 4-5% CHD is not a big deal.
Wow super fast monk.. dunno what to say. If I am u, I will dump the tasker and theo..and get some CHD (as high as possible) +CC + Dex gloves. Can reduce some life...48k me thinks is overkill liao..40k cukup makan.
And why on earth you are using the worst passive ever..Pacifism?????? Lulz....
High CHD also means high RD risk. Burst damage gonna hurt you back. I would go for high Atk spd + CC
How on earth can you get 1 shotted when our monk on average have 90% mitigation?
RD? lets say 40k life...to be killed by 1 shot with 90% mitigation is to crit at 2 Million per hit? Show me a monk that crits for 2 Mil?
Ideally its about mitigation + life sustain...both hand in hand. If I deal burst damage via CHD but I am stacking LS...problem solved rite? Because more DPS means more life stolen so long you dont die from 1st hit.
Lets say you got 5% LS and you deal a 500k dmg crit. You gain back 5k life but you sustain 100k damage from RD. Minus all those damage reduction, it's still pain in the ass. If you crit a pack of elites(3-4), its hard to mitigate those.
Well...100k damage minus mitigation of 90% left 10k, minus 5k life you get net loss 5K.Assuming you drop CHD, and deal 250k damage, you get 2.5k life and you get 50k damage...after mitigation you are left with 2.5k net loss right? So its easier.....Your logic is correct until here...unfortunately you forgot about killing the E.
Say the E has 1M life, if I crit 500k , I hit 2x, so I kill faster and lose 10k life. Same as I crit 250k, I hit 4x and lose 10k life. Net result, no matter how much I crit, I lose 10k life to kill the E. Conclusion, doesnt matter how much I crit, I still need to kill the damn E with 1M life. RD will ultimately reflect 20% of 1M damage back so its a matter you want to do it fast or do it slow.
The answer is pretty obvious rite?
You kill faster you lose HP faster. That ultimately leads back to mitigation. You still absorb X amount of damage but over a longer period of time. Hence, you get to pop serenity or BoH. Choose to either burst them down and get tons of damage trying to stay alive. OR kill at a slower rate with higher chance or surviving. Unfortunately you did not survive the E if you can't mitigate the damage reflected
Can give some advise to me, on which high dps weapon should i buy? becoz some of the weapon price is too expensive, not sure whether its worth with their buyout price.
anyway, this is my attempt to farm MP7... not as fun as MP5... but still do-able but can no longer play with 1 hand, need to dance a little with the elites. 18 elites in 13 mins video.
With only 3% LS and ~550/5500 resist/armor in MP7, watch how the monk dance around Arcane Sentry, chase Molten, move around Desecrater, time the Ice Bomb and use terrain to advantage.
Hit like me, skills like me, but not me lol. Yeah i pretty much farm like that too
my monk really had a problem with reflect damage..hahaha..even with 5% LS and 180k dps..when fighting RD mob its like boooom dead..tried using Mantra of Evasion - hard target and the RD doesnt hurt that much anymore..but killing mob a bit slow..any solution?
if i play patiently it wont be a problem..i juz wanna build my monk till i can discard the serenity from the skill slot and use other skill such as exloding palm or sumthing
build a monk that discard OWE first so u can have more freedom in passives...not good to have 2 passives locked down. STI + OWE. if you wanna ditch serenity, maybe go for wave of light > blinding light. good stun skill.
