The biggest drawback though is the dash distance when not targeting a mob, if that was farther I think it would be a lot more usable. | ||

If I could get a link to something like that on the talent calculator that'd be great :O Right now I'm doing an extremely defensive build, but glass cannon sounds cool, too. | ||

Multiplicative scaling is pretty bullshit meaning getting bare minimum balance values of resist armour and hp is basically required and the same thing with initail life on hit//attack speed and DPS in terms of dex/as/weapon dmg. I've yet to see someone post a pic of their inferno monk with values less than these and doing well, and 1 or 2 values significantly higher. The closest you'll find is DW monks with 2 sick life on hit weapons and relatively low armour. And also saying "that's only what you think" and then adding absolutely no insight doesn't really contribute to the thread. At least what I said works and all you've said is "but how do you know?". Because of experience and the way the numbers work out, what more do you want?? Also even without blind/resolve if you use deadly reach automatically you won't get zerged by melees the way ranged do which makes melee reduction not too important. I don't disagree with what you said. I'm just saying I'd like to know what -most- people are playing because that is the gear that is the most valuable because the most people want it. Also you have to think of the possibility that you don't know all the skill combinations possible to optimize the certain stat. That's why originally I wanted to do a poll | ||

-Gear with a single resist (depending on what the monk is picking for one with everything), dex, vit, and all resist -Gloves with all that and attack speed -Rings/amulet with attack speed or life on hit + any dex/vit/resist/resist all/armour even better -Shield with high block value and block, good stats -Weapon with high attack speed/life on hit and DPS. I've read through every page on this thread and not one person has posted a screenshot of them having stats that completely disregards one or more of the min stats I mentioned and if they did they were asking for help because they were stuck, in which case everyone directed them to the stats they were missing on my list. (It's not MY list, it's just the list of stats you need for inferno) You will find the occassional overgeared oddball with glass cannon gear who likes to play a gimped demon hunter but even they generally have >500 resist/5k armour/20k hp. I don't know why you think its absolutely necessary to resort to statistics when absolutely everybody MUST use the same defensive stats to survive inferno and mathematically they scale best when stacked evenly at least to a point. Similarly with offensive stats. Therefore anyone not doing that is simply not optimal and I doubt you'll find anyone here doing anything radically different that you'd need a poll for. As for skill combinations you will find everyone using the same pool of maybe 12 skills more or less with some slight variance and alternation but if anyone had a radically different skill combination and lets them use completely different gear I'm sure they would have posted by now instead of waiting for a poll. Like a poll doesn't even tell you anything it's just a blank statistic you don't know where they are in inferno how well they're doing how much time they put in how much money they spent, why don't you read through 50 pages of this thread where you have 20+ people detailing their build thoughts, gearing thoughts, progress through inferno and gear/build changes as they progress. They will tell you more than a build ever will. At the VERY LEAST it's safe to assume most people who would respond to a poll but haven't posted a lot in the thread will have simply read the thread and will be largely copying the builds of the more sucessful people. | ||

It's literally a half second of invulnerability, followed by a half second of stuck in place not attacking anything. If you can do it props to you, but literally timing the hit in a half second window consecutively and reliably, where if you miss you will certainly die, in an environment of changing latency, is pretty damn hard to say the least. The biggest drawback though is the dash distance when not targeting a mob, if that was farther I think it would be a lot more usable. It is definitely hard. It is a very narrow timing window, but if you can hit it consistently, it is better then serenity. I get it around 3/4th of the time. I'm running a tanking build so if I miss it hurts, but i don't die. think of it like microing a banshee against marines or something. I only use it to initiate on a group or if I am surrounded (in which case I dashing strike to the furthest mob away in the direction I want to flee, it ports you to the other side so its clear to run). | ||

I used to run it all the time, but I dropped it when I switched from Keen Eye/Lightning Flash to Thunderclap. I found that either BoH + Fear or Earth Ally allowed me to manage slightly more elites. If Dashing Strike didn't whiff so often or worked like Barb's charge, where you can aim it wherever you want, it would make the Monk so much more enjoyable to play. I really don't know why they gimped this skill with the shitty range w/o target. 20% dodge rune is really good too, considering you'll be stuck in animation mode for ~1 sec. | ||

I'm farming act 1 inferno, working on resists and armor atm, I can solo any elite pack now. Dashing Strike is really good if you know how to use it. I never liked the earth ally or any of those, I would rather spend the skill on something I can control. 10% life isn't that great when you consider our heals are flat. The reason I stopped using thunderclap is because if you use it on a molton elite you will get hit by the fire (correct me if wrong, that my experience with it tho). I use BoH with the extra heal on it. I can prolly switch it up to the 15% attack now that I think about it. MoE spam usually keeps me full. My BoH is my "Oh shit" ability now. | ||

Yes I know I need a quicker weapon Also, what needs to be replaced the most? Other than the fact that I hate the look of my helm lol | ||

Edit: Also your shield is nice but know that you are giving up possibly 140 res in that slot alone. High % block works a lot better when you have enough mitigation, which is not the case for you. | ||

As long as your cursor isn't over any monster, you won't teleport, which is key to controlling it (and a pain in the ass to use effectively). I started using Earth Ally for Siegebreaker runs, when I could barely survive 3 hits. It's really good to tank banelings too, and helps a ton vs most elites in Act 4. The 10% extra life doesn't hurt, but you mainly want the 3 second taunt that works against basically everything. Some people use Air Ally to spread Resolve around with its damage aura; not bad either, but I prefer Earth.I'm farming act 1 inferno, working on resists and armor atm, I can solo any elite pack now.

The heal isn't bad, but as soon as you have 1k LoHit and good attack speed, extra attack time is better. It means you can attack for 3 instead of 2 seconds, considering you'll need about 1 second to get out of all the desecrate/arcane/plague you jumped into. If you heal 2k+ per second, the extra second is much better, mostly vs shielding and other tough crap where spirit is tight.What rune are people using with serenity?
