Other than that, what's the usual skills from Hell and up? I'm using Serenity / PR, Blinding Flash / Echo, 7-sided / Sustained and...Evasion / Hard Target. I still seem to get completely stomped haha. Any suggestions other than kite and hope I don't soil my monk? | ||

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#bYgiXk!bXU!ZYaZbY the explanation is I have 7 seconds (serenity + blind) to nuke the most of them, the other skills are to quickly heal and wait for the next serenity cooldown + blind to nuke again  focus is damage increase and armor increase so it's good for both offensive and defensive tatics ... edit : mantra of conviction is due my lack of gold for better weapon and rings/amulet with aspeed so since my dps is low (16k) i have to use it for damage increase ... | ||

With that rune setup for conviction, you may as well get rid of breath of heaven and take some other skill and swap deadly reach for hundred fists for higher proc on reclamation. At least, that's what my initial thought would be. Could take 7 sided instead of breath so you can remain untargetable for...3 seconds? enough time with cdr to get serenity back up by chaining with blinding. Just a thought. | ||

I haven't managed to read 'all' of the posts, but has anyone tried synergizing crippling wave / tsunami and exploding palm with the last rune? (forgot what it's called.) Seems like they do well with clearing out waves pretty quickly. Other than that, what's the usual skills from Hell and up?

Any suggestions other than kite and hope I don't soil my monk? in inferno exploding palm hp explosion damage is lowered by a lot, to the point where it's pretty unnoticabile u should try using your last 2 skill slots i ran something like this up til inferno transcendence is one of the best passives before ur gear starts ramping up, it lets you tank a lot by just spamming 0 cd spells over and over (mostly just mantra and sometimes vacuum) | ||

This is the spec I use, it's a very retard friendly spec which allows you to make a few mistakes without dieing in one hit, you can change out heal for anything you want, i just found it helped quite a bit, everything else i wouldn't really change as the way i killed it I needed every other spell. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#bYXjgQ!ZUX!Zcbcac Tactics: First phase was pretty faceroll no real trouble, just fight him next to the health wells so if you get in trouble you can just click it, other than that move out of !@#$ on the floor. Second phase: your earth elemntal is key here, alot of people don't like using deadly reach, but the way i do it is summon my elemental and then stand behind him and attack over him, That way when diablo spawns the fire ball that travels along the floor it hits him and you only catch the edge of it which you can instantly move out of. Also using the earth elemental you can let him tank you're clone and if you get in trouble you can easily Invul / blind. Phase three: This is what i wiped on most, but That was mainly because of the "panic factor" as long as you stay calm stay near the health wells you should be fine, keep summoning your earth elemntal up and try let him soak as much as he can and you should be fine. Here are my stats: (completely unbuffed other than passive) http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/6517/monkstats.png feel free to ask any questions ^_^ Also farming elites on act 4 so feel free to ask about that. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LqNAa.png) Hey Zedest, my stats aren't too much worse than yours but I'm having troubles in Act 3 siege runs. I can kill maybe half of the elite packs I come across, and the other half take awhile to kill. Can you critique my stats and build? (Or any pro monks for that matter) I have 7 million gold to play around with but I can't seem to find cost effect upgrades in the AH. Thanks a bunch! Current passives are OWE, STI, and Transcendence. | ||

And as for the upgrades, I just dropped 20m on gear (all money earned from seige runs) It seems there is no cheap way to do it, even small upgrades for you are expensive. All I can say (which you obvisouly already know) Is to stack Vitality, Dex, All resist and your highest res. | ||

I was hoping i could play a more tanky style. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/iCwqS.jpg) These are my stats I'm doing siegebreaker runs without too much trouble (don't need tyrael to kill everything while I'm dead, still die quite a bit though) can kinda facetank siegebreaker infact it seems to be the easiest way of doing him because trying to dodge his attacks is really hard and you lose lots of life on hit and stuff. Most non silly elites I can do, obviously need to kite around and use doorways but it's doable. Can kill the soul rippers (licking dudes) elites as well but sometimes I need to get one to split off first because they jump around a lot and it's easy to separate them sometimes. My life on hit is ring (169ish) amulet (390) and weapon (860 dps, 747 life on hit) Attack speed gloves (15%) and ring (12-13%). Looking to improve my dex and AS mostly seems to be most of the monks here have much higher dex and as who can clear act 4. Not sure if I can do azmodan or not but I might try him because getting really crappy loot from siegebreaker atm. (could be unlucky streak though) | ||

Serenity --> Peaceful repose Sweeping wind --> Fire storm Breath of heaven --> Blazing wrath (damage buff) Mantra of Evasion--> Hard target Deadly reach --> Keen eye Way of the hundred fists --> Blazing fists (since my crit is so high atm) Passives Seize the initiative, One with everything, transcendence. (Thinking of switching to resolve, especially for siegebreaker, but I have 2.38 spirit regen on my fist so I'm not sure) Nothing comes close to enraging unless a die a LOT. In fact I only remember stuff enraging when some idiot joins my game and can't do anything but die and I just have to do double the damage lol. Sweeping wind and WoTHF both have really high dps actually. For butcher runs I switch to mantra of convinction with overawe, FoThunderclap, blind with faith in the light and race through everything with the damage boosts. Can do that for kulle runs also actually, but they don't feel quick enough and the loot isnt great either. With blazing fists x3 and wrath of heaven I have 18.9k DPS. | ||

This build I used for act 2 elite/champ farming. Worked well, had 5vn, didn't skip but only like 20% of packs. on the middle passive i suggest fleet foot, ytar, transdence for passive reg or guardian path (especially if u run 2h). Had about 16k dmg unbuffed and 200-300res. 2x deadly reach with oversight followed by hundred fists with windfury flurry nets insane damage, if you time it with blind and mantra. | ||

A 5 NV stack diablo run is pretty impressive though. My stats aren't a lot different with 1300 life on hit 800 all resists (860 weapon dps) so I'm wondering if I should focus on attack speed/dexterity for DPS to be able to clear the rest of inferno. (I'm at 1.84 attacks/second and 1.1 k dex) You can drop around 500 life on hit and get another attack speed item and higher dex and you should be fine for 5 stack act 4. | ||

Dropping life on hit for attack speed when attack speed gives me more hits for more life on hit? Higher dex I can understand, it's mostly a matter of improving my item quality overall though, to get more dex you need higher ilevel kinda. But I do feel low on the DPS as opposed to survivability right now. | ||

Oh and try the air elemental if you haven't. That guy has been beast modeing it up for me, lol. | ||
