I got to lvl 56 and don't even feel like leveling to 60.

I got lvl 56 weapons, good dps, socketed, etc. My Barb friend is same lvl, hes got lvl 51/46 weapons, way less DPS, still survives and does better damage than my monk.

We're also the only class in the game that has to stand and hit the enemy to gain Spirit. Barb gets fury from taking damage, the other guys just passive regen. It's getting really hard to stand and hit anything because of lasers, fire, poison, electricity, etc.

I started playing a Wizard. The aoe ice freeze + diamond armor is way better tank than anything Monk has. It also costs nothing to use and has shorter cooldowns.

Its quite a big wall of text, but if you are up for a read Hopefully it can be useful for you guys as well

Can someone give me a little advice? I heard Hell diff was supposed to be pretty easy for monks, but I get my ass handed to me by certain elite mobs (like vortex/arcane/molten, or frozen/jailer/arcane, etc.).

My stats are currently:
Str - 124
Dex - 799
Int - 193
Vit - 701

Armor - 2100
DPS - 2300

Resists - 183 all (40% reduction)
HP - 20K

In terms of stats, what do I need to improve to take down those elite mobs without having to run an entire marathon while wearing them down? Thanks in advance

Okay, so I went and bought an 850 DPS fist weapon with one socket, socketed a star amethyst that I crafted but wouldn't sell (300 life on hit), bought some gloves with arcane res/dex/vit attack speed, bought a amulet with arcane resist/vit/390 life on hit/str for around 2.5-3 mil total. (I been farming for a while, with some nice drops and lots of gold in general) I am just a total beast. The life on hit thing is a total thing we seem to be missing that the barbs have gotten onto but only the inferno guys are really using it in the monk thread. It's like transcendence on steriods. All that resist all armour and dodge suddenly means something when you gain health back so easily.

In act 2 it was back to the running around waiting for those precious seconds on serenity/blinding flash/breath of heaven to get some healing in, but now you have great sustain with just life on hit.
Also, another thing, regina, it's not that sweeping wind procs resolve so much but LIFE ON HIT PROCS ON SWEEPING WIND. I'm almost sure of it my health just regens massively when I don't do anything with firestorm up. The ratio isn't 1:1 of course, scip asked me what my ratios for life on hit were and apparently frenzy has a 80% ratio, and revenge has a 25% ratio that means life on hit procs on all your damage spells meaning sweeping wind is just ridiculous right now.

Also I have to give big props to regina and the couple of other monks in inferno act 2+ who have been soloing and working on their gear and builds instead of whining about the other classses like the rest of them.

Seriously, life on hit is insane, you guys need to start getting it it just scales ridiculously well with everything else and lets you stop relying on transcendence and your heal spells so much that painfully limits your options.

I found in hell elite mobs were too tough to tank down but getting a new weapon made me do enough damage that I chunked them super hard in bursts with tanking them-->serenity at half hp-->run away when it ends. It makes a big difference once you get the first one or few minions down the rest become easy.
You WILL have to kite mobs all day unless they don't have any nasty elemental things but the trick is killing them faster.

There's a thread for wizards too =] Should go talk about it there, since you seem to enjoy the wizard more.

@slayers91, sorry m8 but life on hit doesnt proc off sweeping wind... just tried it to be 100% sure. your health regen looks more sick cuz you hit +- 2 times in a second, so he adds up the 2 procs and sometimes even 2 procs + the life per sec you have or even 2 procs+transendence proc so it all looks more heavy then it really is. its actually the combat text being to slow..

goodluck

Combat text might be slow. I was sure I was regenning shitloads of hp just standing there though, well I guess life on hit is just more insane than I thought. If barb warcries stack one of them might have been using the regen one and it just doesn't show them stacking as well..

Heh, apaprently we have the same build save for BoH/Dashing Strike.

I agree completely about Firestorm, it hits more mobs so it ends up doing similar damage, but guarantees Resolve on anything that can hit you, plus it looks better. I also believe that some monsters resist Physical a bit more than Fire (while Diablo might be the opposite?). I know this isn't talked about much, but I believe some monsters do have different resists.

About Keen Eye, I'm still not convinced, even though I ran most of act 1/2 with it. Both are really, really good though, and I love the visuals on this one.

As for passives, I actually replaced Transcendence with One With Everything. This is more of a "I'm broke and can't afford phys/all res stuff, so I'll go for random element instead". Resolve is absolutely godlike, I don't know why anyone would skip it, so is Seize.

Transcendence is easily replaced by about 200 life on hit, while OwE is only replaced by actually spending millions.

ps. I believe you're wrong about intellect though, 10 intellects = 1 resist all, linear.
pss. Just got from 35khp,300res,15kdps,5kar,+650 onhit to 40/400/16/5.5/750. I could barely do act 2 before while dying a lot, hopefully this time it works out. It has to anyway, I'm broke.

I'm at 45k hp, 570 res, 5200 armor, and 13k dps, but I am still getting murdered in Act 2 by a lot of stuff. I even have to kite a lot of white trash mobs, which is just retarded.

act2 isnt much of an issue with 20k hp / 450 res / 10k (hard target + keen eye) armor and 19k dps ;/
act3 is slow but hp on hit would definitely smooth over most issues especially with a doubled mantra of evasion
I hadn't even considered it proccing on non-melee attacks, I'd been trying the passive regen route. Bit tired of grinding on my main though so I broke out a wizard too, it's boring, monk ftw.
Meh.

Gotta explain me how you do it, because that's some crazy low stats for act 2 inferno.

You res and armor are kind of low for A2.

800+ for my res all and 9k armor with deadly reach proc and I'm not pushing A2 easily yet still.

before investing in items with + (your specific resistance) i recommend looking for simply +all res and +vit/dex bonuses.

At around ~400 all res, you don't want to use one with everything anymore, you want to switch passives to resolve (25% dmg reduction). the one with everything passive is really just a gear clutch, but the resolve is a much better passive heading into act 3 inferno, as regina has shown.
