Yeah, I read the thing like 5 times and couldn't find the taunt line either, but it's actually there, right at the end. His 60% earth wave attack forces enemies to attack it. And mobs tend to not switch target before it is dead, and it will recast its taunt when you resummon. For some reason it also tanks like a boss.

What effect does dexterity have on a weapon? I'm looking at weapons in the auction house and I can never decide how much better the item is because it doesn't compare to your current weapon like it does in-game. For example, if I have a 500 DPS fist weapon that also provides 100 DEX, how much better is a 600 DPS weapon that doesn't have any dex?

That depends upon your dexterity. If you have 900 dex without your weapon the 500 dps with 100 dex gives you 5500 dps while the 600 dps one would give you 6000 dps.
Edit: fixed numbers >.<

Dex increase your damage by 1%base weapon damage*(+aspd)*(1+critchance*crit damage) per point

It's not factored into weapon damage because the damage on it depends on other things as well. My general rule of thumb is each point of dex = .5-1 dps on the weapon stat sheet.

i use this screenshot to quickly check what kind of dps to expect when purchasing a new weapon, for reference, my dex was around 1.4k.

generally if you have around 1.4k - 1.8k dex you can probably add the dex provided by the weapon into dps numbers and get a pretty rough but accurate gauge of how much damage you are getting. a 1k weapon (left side) with about 257 dex gives me roughly the same dps as a 1.2k damage weapon however if you are already running 2k+ dex, you gains from dex are lesser and its wiser to focus on getting a higher dps.

alternatively, try using this site lol

Hello!

I was hoping to draw on the experience of TL to try and help me make some decisions. Firstly, I've just beaten The Butcher in Act 1 Inferno(2-3 deaths) and I'm looking to upgrade my gear/skill setup so that I'm not insta-gibbed against the wasps in the first part of Act 2. I've uploaded my gear, skills and stats and I was hoping to draw upon your expertise in trying to spend the meager 900k that I have to upgrade some of my gear so that I can farm the butcher more efficiently. I realize that this is a tight budget but unfortunately I don't get to play all that much due to work and other commitments.

Thanks for all of your help and I would appreciate a list of the top three suckiest items I have and what I should look for in their replacements. And if you're feeling super helpful, prices with stat ranges of the items that I should look for.

PS. I'm a little against stacking IAS at this point because I don't want to stack it and then have it nerfed and it's value drop like a rock.

Skills
Pretty standard setup in my opinion excepting Wave of Light, and i use that because of the AOE damage and the knockback. Will definitely remove it if you think it'll help.

Not many people use 7 sided strike any more, just use mystic ally instead.

Can't see stats, image is borked

Without knowing your stats, I'd say drop one of your passives(probably resolve) for transcendence until you have enough LoH. Also FYI either take sweeping wind or ally for dps, they are very spirit efficient methods of boosting dps significantly. WoL doesn't justify the high cost, and 7 sided has too long of a CD.

I would sugest helm of command or tzo krin's, way more armor and resists and you can cut the vit a bit to maybe 30-35k health if you get your resists high enough. And of course a faster weapon, I like the minimum of 1.6 as and 400 LoH seems enough. With your current jewellery prob tzo krin will be better since you lack AS. Try to get one with high spi->life and either high armor or high single res that you are stacking. Some of your gear you could sell for a fortune to DHs and buy better ones for yourself for less, trading all res for specific res and armor.
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.


Just got a Tzo Krin with

350 armor
64 vit
28 cold resistance
58 Resistance to All Elements
Attack speed 13%
3% life
18.7 life per spirit spent

for 5m.. not sure if it was worth that.

Tried heart of sin again, everything so easy but the blues rape me.. I can't even hurt them before dying. More resist needed i guess

I feel like i've actually gotten worse since changing my neck and helm.. like I can't even farm siegebreaker anymore. Maybe due to tyrones nerf though

That's a nice Tzo, but not really a budget option if you spent 5M. You need a faster weapon though 1.2 base AS is soooo low.

hey guys here's another monk stuck on act 2 (i'm guessing 99% of the population haha) inferno.

right now i'm poor with gear that is mostly worth sub20k.

main stats i have right now are:

LOH : 332
dps : 7k
Armor : 4.6k
Resists : 400 all
AS : 1.72
Dex: 1k
Vit : 630
HP : 2.5k

question 1 : what should i gear for right now? i'm assuming dps. however in act 2 i'm just getting absolutely obliterated by everything

question 2 : how should i go about getting more money and better gear. 5 neph butcher runs?

Very simple get ur dmg up. Try to get to 12k to 16k using IAS rings; amulet. Ur armor is kind of low aswell
More resist would be nice.
For farming u might want to try golbin farm at act 2. Else stick with butcher/ warden butcher run.

I beat diablo on inferno a couple of days ago and I'm deciding if I even want to keep playing the game.

Fight sucks btw. Takes so ridiculously long. It's telling that he is still easier than some champ packs though. I might start messing around and building a huge dps spec or something.

Yeah . Geared monks aren't fun to play because it is almost impossible to die. To stay interested i had to just sell everything and switch to hardcore, where the gear is shit and I have no gold .

lol dude its never gonna be comfortable but i would say for siege breaker its around 700+ and the same for diablo. the jump between act 3 - 4 is not huge. likewise armor at around 7k+. there are some mobs you will always have to watch out for (e.g. subjugators in act 4, herald of pestilence in act 3) but that number will allow you to progress through the final acts.

I noticed you have 500+ life on hit on jewelery, but no AS. I suggest you sell your (pretty good) weapon for a lot and invest in one with about the same dps but way higher AS with no life on hit. You could also try to get overal higher resists and stats on your chest/pants. Also a shield with lower block but 100+ all res would serve you better until your mitigation is high enough to enjoy the high block rate (it's better to take less dmg all the time than to take 3.5-4.5 less dmg 6% of the time). It's a really nice shield you have that would prob sell for a fair bit, but I would exchange until you have 900+ resists and 6k+ armor.
