Cyclone, mantra, spirit generator or resolve could be changed based on need / preference. Was great fun cycloning things into sweeping winds and watching them melt. Of note if you use FoT (thunderclap) or deadly reach, that you can shoot barrels etc to reset sweeping wind. | ||

So scary. You should regear before patch while it's cheap and sell attack speed while it's expensive. Sold my old ring I found for 3.5 mil. Bought a new amulet and ring with crit%//crit dmg and more dex/resists. | ||

i didn't want to sell because maybe it'll still be useful. if inferno gets nerfed relative to the attack speed nerf, then it's kind of like nothing changed. in which case, ias items will /eventually (once people realise this) be valued the same they are now. plus attacking at 2 ps just seems sooooooooooooooooooooooooo slowww omgg anyway, im sure we'll have a lot to talk about, more brainstorming with builds etc in 8 hours time. also want to note i accidently vendored my tzo legendary helm, (12% attk speed inc and 26life per spirit spent) sigh | ||

 Theorycrafting is so fun, just wished they would release the patch notes already. | ||

Anyways, I have a pretty decent gear with 8k armor (10k with buff), 750 res all, 24k dps (43 with buff), 2.7AS and 800 LoH. I can't clear first quest of Act 3 cuz EVERYTIME I try to run it, I run into the most retarded elite packs. You simply cannot kill jailer immune molten descerator combo. In fact, jailer with silly affix combo are all retarded. I have given up right now and leveling my DH... I cannot believe I meet all these retarded elites all the time, and theyre always at the choke points too... someone wanna gimme wp to siegebreaker!?? | ||

I got myself about the same stats as exceed, except with a 20% string of ears, and another 8% in my ammy and bracers. 900 LoH but 1.9 aspd. My last purchase a 60 dex Justice lantern helped so much. I even took out a jailer desecrator arcane enchanted mob without dying. My main tactic was cast air ally kite back with keen eye until she dies, cast it again repeat. I can tank 2 elites without air ally just fine once one dies. I probably could tank most mobs myself but its easier to use air ally to be safe, and to make the AIs expend some of the desecrator/arcanes on her. I really wish monks could do more dmg though, with 22k dps (25k with heal buff) it takes me so much longer solo than with a DH | ||

I am lucky enough to have about 518 life regen atm so it's probably about equivialent to life on hit on a single target if you're kiting. | ||

The below image currently shows how much certain stats are worth for my monk. I'm running at 1600 dex 15 crit and 50 crit damage. ![[image loading]](http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/1231/statsvr.png) But this is before patch so we need to divide the AS value by two for post-patch. This means for me, getting a 50 dex 4 crit 20 crit damage ring nets 50+31.68+59.5= 140ish points, but since my crit increases with the ring, the crit damage will be more valuable, so lets say around 150 points. A 50 dex 15 as 4 crit ring now becomes 8 AS and provides 50+93.2+31.68= 175 points. And not to mention the second ring is much more expensive. I guess crit chance and crit damage will be the answer. So I decided to go ahead and invest 1.5m in this amulet before patch hits: ![[image loading]](http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/479/amuleta.png) hope it was a good decision | ||
