Hi fellow monks,

Is IAS% stat a good thing to have alot? As I use LTK so of course more IAS% meants can spam more LTK and generally beatdown faster; however that would also mean burnout my spirit pool (and generate faster). Or attack slower abit to have spirit regen to get a constant stream of attack?

Well I don't have TF, SoH and Fuhhhminator... so next best thing since sliced bread.

Need opinion, I am running LtK and head item rolled LtK 14% skill bonus. Should I reroll this for 6% crit (being a better stat)?

My leg is having 11% to LtK (probably I'll try to reroll for higher % later)

You will need to stack Holy% dmg, which yours looks like a holy build. Look for Holy% dmg on head, bracers, neck, weapons. Your weapons are nothing exceptional, look for skycutter, lidless wall shield (with %holy) or craft hallowed shield for holy%.

At higher torments, you need to look at cdr (crimson's set, shoulders) and elite killing gear (SoJ, Sunkeeper, Blackthorns, Aughilds). Also regem your head socket to diamond for cdr, as magic find is pretty useless and u want to max out all your advantages at higher torment. Look for gears with perfect primary stats and single resist of your OWE choice to stack. Good luck.

Julie's is a game changer at the disco center (all ground effects + lazers) plus the laser heals you for 20-25% of its dmg, you'll be tanking like a boss. LoH and Life regen is very strong secondary stats once you get your basics right (dps, hp, resists, armor) as they will prevent your life dropping like a stone from the ground effects.

Find in strange my crusader buddy in full tanky armor but throw sheilds from behind like a wussy wizard while I tank mobs in their face, go figure

The fist is a game changer for monks, using a 2.1k dps of the fist from random rift drop. In group play, I dash/EP into a mob, ninja-bomber- palm-em-weak-in-the-knees-flesh on each of the mob. LtK along with the team dps on the weakest mob till it pops. Glorious dominos kaboom effect, blues and gold dies in seconds. GG

Got hexing pants in stash, so you are saying the bonus only apply when u start moving not the start of TR (from standstill)?

It will swing either way just that mace typically have slower attack speed than sword.

HOWEVER, if you are using spender like LtK, it takes it attack speed and damage from MH, so you best put in your (best) highest dps weapon on that hand.

Thanks for the clarification; so that big DPS number is basically all stat (% dmg, ats) factors considered into it? So kinda meaningless in actual application (e.g. execute spenders like LtK) other than ePeen?

I think alot of people are in 'wait and see' how 2.1 PTR goes; point of interest (for me at lease) being the revamp on LpH and regen mechanics, now my unrolled LpH on my Shard of Hate looks very competitive. Will see

Think still got hope for monks; PTR 2.1 Madstone now with SSS add's palm effect free kaboom.
