The legendary/set piece chests are pretty underwhelming in the special stat department. Tal Rasha's chest can roll +% attack speed, but it's dex roll is low because it's primarily an int item. Tyrael's Might has +% move speed if you're really into that. Other than those two, the other set/legendary chests have defensive special stats. So either a nice rare chest, or go all the way to the 4 piece with Inna's set.

i went with blackthornes (2p) because i ended up with no vit on shoulders/boots/amulet and was lacking in the health department. i lose some dex but it works out ok

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/wooozy-1907/hero/3373541

also blackthornes are pretty cheap. my old one was 90 int, 200 vit, with poison resist and was only like 10m. this dex one was only a bit more than that

My main issue with Monk chests (at least on Male Monks) is that none of them look any good. At least to me... I am not a fan of the light blue balls of Inna's Chest, or Tyrael's, and Blackthorne's looks like its spandex >_< Tal Rasha's color scheme actually seems ok to me (plus I like IAS). Hopefully they allow dying soon.

So for now I'm still sadly sporting a rare chest. Here is what they look like since I couldn't find a good D3 model viewer anywhere like there is for WoW. Rare 60,61,62,63,Legendary (Tal Rasha shown, Innas = light blue, Tyreals = worse). Haven't see Zuni's or IK chest on Monk though.

my mate has a monk
he wants to be able to do mp 8 ubers without dying at all so I'm looking for benchmarks:
what AR (OwE inc) and lifesteal do u need for mp8?
Notwithstanding playstyle, is there anything obviously wrong with his build/gear?
He wants to get a 4 piece of inna and an echoing fury...
Advise!

I do MP8 at ~700AR, 3.8k armor and 45k hp(you only need about 35, but 45 is safe). Depending on boss I either use my WKL for ~650 LoH, or lifesteal weap(90k unbuffed) with 450LoH.

Hello!

Chazza's Monk friend here - thanks for the replies! I decided to stop being lazy and post myself.

I have a couple of followup questions (also - would you guys mind posting a link to your profiles so that I can scope out your gear?)

1. Did you guys switch over to AR gear, and drop OWE or are you just using less resist gear in general?
2. Are you running LOH + LS because using just one of them would not keep you alive?
3. If I was running with one weapon with socket and lifesteal and the other with socket and other nice attributes (dex/vit/att speed) would I be dying lots again, ie. is it wise to try and get 2 lifesteal weapons?
4. If I can get a 1k dps weapon with socket + lifesteal + random stat (int/vit) for 20mill, and the same weapon with dex instead of random stat but at 140mil, is it better to spend the other 120mil on other gear or just have 1 "perfect" weapon?

Thanks all!

I've done something I never thought I'd do... Drop Serenity. >_< Farming low MPs Tailwind was just too efficient a skill to pass up. Since I stack too much IAS (~2,1 aps) to go all in and I hate 2h-style, I just swapped STI for Exalted Soul to give the pool needed to get back into combat within SW timer. ( OWE still mandatory! )

Recommend Tailwind in every item/xp build.. can actually come close to WW bab speed with the right gear.

Only SL fists with sockets or LS are pricey. Most 950+ dps ones with a useful stats are just a few m. The pair of Shenlongs I use now only cost ~5m each, probably cheaper now.I bid 6,666,666 on them before work a few weeks back. There are just so many available there isn't much competition to win bids these days I guess. I decided I choose spirit regen as the random stat for a farming "quality of life" than pure dps. Hadokens ftw!

Hey guys, I'm looking to up my monk to farm mp 2-3 as fast & safe as I'm farming mp1 atm. Using the build in my profile http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/SolidShwopzi-2611/hero/7745669

Should I just safe up for a skorn that's the same but with lifesteal%? Or aim for better gloves/shoulders/radiance? I don't really have a idea about how much lifesteal heals for with tempest rush/sweeping winds, so some insight would be awesome before I throw away 300 mill.

oh nice. I'm not sure which way to go at this moment; I saw some nice looking tyrael pieces, blackthorns looks good too. Or I can get the belt and go for Inna's set of 4, but I feel iffy about that. What do you recommend, based on either those 3 or a rare piece? Here's what I have right now:

personally i really dislike 4p inna's because with 35% move speed and the fact that i only pick up legendaries and some 63s, i almost never have to recast SW which makes it a huge waste for me. if you would be utilizing the free sweeping winds then might as well go for it. i think inna's belt with single resist is only like 2-3m. as for recommendations, i duno. go for what you feel you need. i think if you switch to tyrael's you'll be at like 25k hp or so though.

I too highly recommend 2pc Blackthornes for monk, especially for Ubers when it helps to have a large HP buffer. I spend more than my fair share during Uber fights rezzing squishy DHs >_< I happen to like the pant's stats enough to use over Inna's overall but swap my default amulet for Blackthorne's Cross for Uber Fights.

My 180 vit + physical Blackthorne's Cross cost a measly 500k in 1.05 and bumps my HP almost 20k. Blackthorne's Pants and Amulet combine to always give +23-26 % life, +200 vit, 778-1136 LoH, 8-9% ias, 19-20 mf and 4 random rolls to bump up an extra 300 dex, 300 vit, 100+ resist, etc. (prices will vary, but vit & specific resist will be quite affordable ) Just don't ask for crit on the amulet if you want it for cheap! My pants cost 5m back in 1.04, and they only get pricey with sockets. But any combination of 2pc is good, depending on what slots you already have strong gear in, amulet/pants just come with by far the best pre-determined stats imo.

I like the Blackthorne's neck because it rolls a large amount of LoH, that way I only have to worry about lifesteal on one of my weapons (offhand), and can get a monstrous weapon focused on dps my mainhand.

Ok so, after a few weeks of uber boss farming, the best I ring I got my hands on isn't all that bad, but still I'm stumped on where to look for upgrades next.

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Tilorn-1602/hero/387807

The amulet could use an upgrade, same as the natalya ring and boots maybe, but I'm not sure for what stats to look for on these items without them costing 100mil. Any general advice on what to work on my gear?

One more thing, I mostly farm MP1 act 3 Alkaizer runs for paragon level, but I can't play more then an hour or two a day, any route and or MP advice?
