Just wanted to say thanks for all the informative content regarding monk. Helped me a lot to improve my monk after coming back since I stopped right before paragon launched.

My profile is here http://www.diabro3.com/?armoryURL=BeeTee%236398&serverBox=us

Appreciate if anyone can suggest equips that I should upgrade to make my dmg around 200k. Thanks in advanced.

+1 LOL

Don't buy gold. If 100k is your target we can help you reach that goal without spending tonnes of gold.

Your set up is bit off. Lots of ASI but lack CD. The surest way of getting more DPS is ditch the fist weapon and get a dex Echoing Fury (EF) with socket. Why? because the +0.2x attack will apply to your off hand as well. So you will benefit most with ASI stacked. A cheap 1k DPS socket EF can be bought at 1M-2M.

Next the off hand ring is poor. General tip -Rings are meant to stack DPS (soft core ). Hence, average damage, ASI, CC and CD is priority. A combo of 2/3 is desirable. Try getting ASI on rings as it can roll up to 9% maximizing the roll.

Lastly, gameplay. Why you no Fist of Thunder. Its the best spirit generator for monks. Fast and hit hardest. FoT-Thundeclap or quickening as standard.

switch out guardian path passive since u DW. I recommend Exalted Soul for more spirit since you got a few spirit spenders- bell and Blind + MoC. Also, Serenity - Ascension is better than peaceful response.

Try those out and see how it goes. If need more help..let us know.

Just wondering, those WKL enhance Thunderclaps damage since they're both lightning based?

yes, i used d3up to compare the damage figures from FoT & SW;
my 192k dps WKL+ Rare Sword setup with 25% lighting skill damage from WKL is almost equivalent to 250k dps dual-rare setup. and the in-game crit number shown is quite accurate.

Yeah, i tried the stimulation but in game, it just doesn't feel as much.. hmmm...

i tried simulated it by modified the lighting skill dmg from 25% to 0%, and compare the crit dmg from FoT;
e.g., you should get the highest crit numbers similar to these:
1. with 0%, highest crit number is 500k
2. with 25%, highest crit number is 625k

try in-game, monitor the highest crit number, you should have some crit numbers shown are closing to 625k and this will proof the +25% lighting skill damage is actually working.


edited: Thunderclap figures shown in d3up is 145% directly (110% + 35%), but the in-game crit numbers might be shown separately; to be accurate, try other rune like quickening which have fix 110% weapon damage.

yes it works..I saw a number crunching done by some German EU player in a battlenet post before.

As a general guide a 25% WKL will add approx 20% of total dps if based on a cookie build FoT and SW Cyclone)

Finally got my AR and Armor to 500+ without OWE and 262k dps unbuffed.. Now scratching head where to korek Vit.. aduiiii..

your next goal complete hell 1st

your DPS is too much for Hell

go to inferno! get hellfire ring! drop the blue amulet! buy one or craft one. should not be difficult to replace that. crafting should benefit you the most at cheapest cost. stack single resist if you low on budget...

CuteCow P89! boring as hell! Must get P90 by today! damn, may have maintenance...

Double roll of vit for bracer
Double roll of vit for inna chest, drop the AR

i think that 2 places are the best to gain Vit in your current setup bro

my 20sen

sifus, i need advice too, currently farming in mp7, still die when charged by Bulls T_T

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/dolcepi...3/hero/24160065

my AR without OWE : min 410, max 475, so is there a point to use OWE still?

low hp, low VIT, low AR. sure die la no Gloom

Get a inna head +Resist, if you take AR (dunno how many mil gc already, didn't keep track) can drop OwE liao.

I don't know if I'll ever get a better glove then this... Maybe I'll try but getting more vit is hell.. My TWH mmg syok.. the freeze works perfectly. I actually put it on jsp for 1.5B for few weeks no one wanted it.. then when I didn't want to sell it, I started getting msg's of offers for 2B - 2.5B but it was too late. Kept it for myself in the end. hehehe.

I don't think can drop AR on inna's chest.. if drop then I have to korek elsewhere for AR.. how lar.. I might try crafting bracers and pray I get a double roll vit.. Not easy worrr.. Been crating amulet like crazy but haven't got the perfect one.. haizz...

EHP too low, even with OWE.
Suggest stack the same type of resistance, i.e. cold resistance.

Get TWH with cold resistance. It should be dirt cheap now.
