epi reduce dmg look like more helpful at higher mp.
reason is the extra 300%+ dmg cant help me kill elites before they kill me

i see, better to use LTK fire rune pairing with gyana.
but but... i still no luck to get a gyana stone

the easiest i can think of is to merge sti with owe...haha

lol

no gear with mystic ally?

Got la.. U don't have meh??

Need opinion, which one better?

Will reroll area damage to socket..

Again, DPS vs Toughness

There's one interesting build which focus on this item.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/the-flow-of-eternity
and of some cdr stacking.

If your cdr high enough and also setting Serenity to your skill set. Could this be the "Almost-god-mode" build?

The only drawbacks are stacking Physical Damage % for Monk..

The 2.1k WKL is far better. 24% Lightning v 15% easy is almost equivalent to the 200 average damage u gain from the 2.3k WKL.

so, with almost similar dps output, the 700 vit is bonus by far.

started a new monk..

some pointers pls? lightning build...

Why would you reroll secondary on Slanderer? It is the rarest sword besides Shard of Hate.

Just stack single resist on all your armors and you are good to go.

Change shoulder + bracer into Aughlids set.

Edit: higher dps weapon is always on main hand (left slot)

but still, what is wrong? plz help

Socket (Emerald 130% cdmg) > 10% dmg

Problem is not with the fire build, it's the monk is generally broken in T5 and T6 where mobs health increase tremendously.

Barb having good time with fire build:

"Each earthquake does like 2600% weapon damage as fire over 8 seconds. Combine this with lutsocks, players can cast 3 earthquake in succession to deal 2600x3=7800% weapon damage every 7(which most players can achieve with some cdr) which is EXTREMELY HUGE. This ticks for like 7800/7=1114.3% weapon damage PER second in a large AOE. Very good for single and aoe situations."

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12506211399?page=1#1

When used with Molten Fury rune, it does 4500% dmg. Combined with high fire %dmg, everything melt crazy fast.

With monk's recently "buff" Explosive Wave (fire), we deal 830% for 75 spirit. How do you keep up with the damage output?

ps: oh ya, Earth set in barb grant Earthquake every time you leap, base is cool down is 10 second cost 15 fury

Help monk, read this Open Letter from Druin to Developer:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12879077914

Sign it if you agree with what we feel.

The thread is full already. Cannot sign anymore.

But good point brought up by Druin.

I understand monk players stand, and I are one, so I am currently converting a crusader, monk really make a comparison there how weak. . .hmmm

Cru obviously is OP.
A well geared Cru is extremely OP.
No class can come close to that. Period.

Monk is ok with the damage.
Hitting 6-20million of damage is the damage range experienced by other class of heroes, specifically those legacy class.
The point here is, monk can dish out decent damage.

Of all the points made, I fully agree on the "mitigation" part.
I'd call it toughness instead.

Blizz really need to fix the toughness of monk.

Ha?? Oh shit.. I forgot what was the secondary which I rerolled on the slanderer already.. what should I have on it?
Aughild set gives what?
