EPTanother easy thing to do is save your blind for when he does the triple punch thing and just cancel it mid swing. he'll have to cycle through his skills again and your cooldowns should be up by the time he gets to it again. you will have multiple grace periosd where blind is up, so you're effectively lowering your overall DPS by saving it for the right time, but hey, your job is just to stay alive until kulle is dead

Currently i can comfortably farm MP7 ubers with a barb in our group, on MP8 the Siegebreaker is the problem, i just can´t tank him alone as the reflect plus his triple-attack brings me down slowly. So how would you guys go on from here to increase the MP? Seems like everthing just costs a fortune from here on and i´m only sitting at 25 mio atm. I was thinking about getting a nice Inna´s chest when i got the money as the melee reduction gives me a pretty nice ehp buff and i got a decent mempo i could switch then to without losing the set-bonus. Any input is appreciated. Char buffed: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Samba-1157/hero/50295 unbuffed: http://d3up.com/b/82966 Would you be opposed to getting a lifesteal skorn? The base damage range is around double that of your current weapons, and this will make your cyclones hit that much harder. After casting sweeping wind, you can switch back to your current weapons or whatever you want. This should be able to get you to mp10 ubers. | ||

Granted we only did MP8 once now and got him barely after his enrage was activated. I would like to go for overawe as well to help my DD´s. We definitly need to upgrade our dmg-output, last time i had SB down to 1/4 hp till they finally killed kulle, lol...

After seeing your little demo i could definitly imagine giving this a try, wouldn´t have thought that it makes THAT big of a difference. But like i said i only got 25 mio atm and i´m not sure if i shouldn´t focus on other slots first. I want MORE dex!  | ||

Personally, I'm using a socketed rare Mace with crit dmg / life steal / dex that I actually found, but last I checked rares like this aren't expensive at all (I use Rawr's detailed dps calculator to compare damage / tornado; but any dps calculator that gives you avg hit damage will work too). Then again, FitL makes the snapshot get all weird, so be sure to use a 2hander that has a significantly higher base damage otherwise it might actually be a downgrade. | ||

Worked like a charm though on MP6, even without a barb Siege couldn´t touch me at all. So i guess if i find a good amulett this could be a good direction. I think otherwise i´m just gonna try to increase my dps for some vit to get more life per sec. Any specific gear advise? Is everyone just running Inna´s chest? I run blackthorn's, I like the additional resists/vit. The damage drop is about 70-80 dex worth. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Confuse-1392/hero/4470788 for an example. Plus later you can get a nice roll on a blackthorne's amulet for the 100 vit set bonus. Just my preference | ||

Just my preference Yeah, i briefly took a look at it, usually i like having a rather defensive chest to go more offensive on the other slots. Btw could you maybe post a pic of your monk, i´ve never seen the look of blackthorn´s on a male monk and seeing as pretty much all other chests look just terrible, this might affect my choice. | ||

Well, luckily you got that Blackthorn! I took a look at both Inna´s and Blackthorn´s, but can´t decide yet. Blackthorn seems to be way cheaper and looks way better, Inna´s can roll nicer stats and give the set bonus, but high Vit on them is unbelievable expensive. Meh... | ||

And besides that, did i say Blackthorne´s is cheaper?! Scratch that, to get one that matches the Dex and the life% on Inna´s you have to pay at least 65mio on EU as far as i can tell. Oo | ||

Still I like it a lot more, it helps me out a lot defensively with the all res/arcane res/vit rolls. I wear inna's hat/pants for the dex bonus there, so I think its fine. | ||

Fine....you finally convinced me, i did go with Blackthorn´s. At first i thought i could keep my main res source on shoulders and belt, but after trying a lot of combos on d3up the defensive chest opens more possibilities for the other slots. I´m gonna try the witching hour of my wiz, doesn´t have dex on it, but my res and it still gives 9k dps increase. And for higher MP i still got my old 170vit, 120 res belt. Man, i feel like a headless chicken after days of back and forth...but i´m glad i don´t have to wear the smurf balls around my neck! | ||
