Combat Changes:

Of course, with so many competitive elements hitting the PTR, we're also reviewing each class thoroughly to ensure no matter what you play, you have a fair chance at reaching your Seasonal goals. While we won't be getting into class specific details here, we wanted to share with you a few examples of overarching adjustments we plan on experimenting with during the Public Test phase.

Dexterity & Survivability:

A major change is coming to Dexterity to benefit Demon Hunters and Monks.
Each point of Dexterity will grant 1 point of Armor instead of Dodge chance. Dodge isn’t as reliable as Armor or Resistances and doesn’t protect you from some of the most dangerous monster affixes like Plagued or Thunderstorm. In light of this buff, the existing passives that grant 30% of your Dexterity as Armor (Seize the Initiative and Awareness) will be completely redesigned.

Healing:

The next change will be to Healing. Currently, Healing provided by gear isn't very valuable because you receive the vast amount of your healing from Health Globes. During internal testing, we discovered that as you reached higher Greater Rift levels, you really wanted more of your healing to come from your gear in order to survive. To facilitate this, we are reducing the amount of healing Health Globes provide, but buffing Life on Hit and Life Regeneration on gear to compensate. This change should make a more consistent experience when you turn up the difficulty (or reach a higher tier in a Greater Rift) in situations where you’re not killing as quickly and actually require the increased Healing.

shiet.... i speak too quickly about liking 2.1...

OWE finally got nerf... to just 30%

*facepalm*

Just some additional clarification, since I see some confusion on the new passive:

Harmony will apply 30% of a single resist to all other resistances aside from the element it normally provides (meaning it doesn't double-dip on itself). Here's a math-y example in hopes this provides a clearer picture:

I acquire a piece of gear with 100 Fire Resist. From that gear, I'm gaining 100 Fire Resist and 30 Resistance to all others.

Hope that makes more sense.

Gear = 1000 AR, 800 Lit Resist
With OWE = 1000 + 800 = 1800 AR
With Harmony
= 1000 + 800*.3 = 1240 AR
= 1000 AR + 800 LR = 1800 Lightning Resist

Firstly STI give 1 Dex=1 armor... then axxhole at blizzards suggest to reduce it to 50%.. it become 30% in 2.0.. then now back 1dex=1 armor w/o STI    still a good idea but lizard play pusing2 here

Im not surprise if they bring back life steal, with several "changes" ofc

dont be so sad bro. i see the upcoming changes are not that bad.

1. 1 Dex = 1 Armor, most of the monk have 8000+ dex, so we got 8000+ armor free. 
2. Harmony replace for OWE, with 30% of single resist number stack into AR.
not bad as well, we no need worry on the gear to must have the same single resist. 

Even taking armor into calculation, I actually have less mitigation (~20%) due to my heavy investment on OWE. See the calculation here:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/13183868274

I belong to case 2, I have 1547 poison resist. Need to re-gear... 

Now Dex also gain 1 point of armor, same as strength, shouldn't blizzard also work on the armor bonus for strength as well?

...not to mention, I actually hope they buff dodge instead.. sigh blizzard.

Agile monks RIP. 

Exactly. The philosophy behind Monk class has always been agility/speed. Kinda like Assassin back in D2.
