Having 2 weapon does more damage than 1 weapon. That's different from being the most effective way to farm soemthing (max mf keeping enough stats to farm inferno elites quickly and efficently)

Does anyone know which skills can proc LoH? I was wondering if any of the reflect damage auras or evasion aura w/ explosion can proc LoH, like the barb reflect melee damage skill can proc LoH, and you basically get healed from any DoT.

Lmfao so i was fucking around today with my monk, and i found the funniest build. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#dciXQj!aYc!bZYbZc
With Inner Storm up i have over 10 spirit regen so tempest winds becomes permanent.
I feel like I'm an eraser holding down my right click. Knockback elites suck balls tho, they stop the channeling effect.
the 15% from BoH bring the damage up to decent levels. No spirit generater tho lmao
I'm going to pick me up a nice diabo and with some spirit regen and life per spirit spent and roll act 2 like a boss.
620 life per second from channeling tempest is fucking legit. Moh does 310 also, and 143 from my weapon. Might also have some on my madstone. All in all, tons of hp regen a second. Going to stack dex, crit dmg n crit chance now.
Grabbed myself a weapon for 500k. Literally jizzed myself. + Show Spoiler [YYESSS] +

how much resistance and armor are you having atm?
i am currently at 800/8k with enchantress and i still find the need to maintain 800 LoH, over the past few weeks i have been switching to a crit build gradually (still with 1her) and am currently at around 42k dps with BoH. at this point i am wondering if its time to start switching out my current equip for better dex values. but i will probably work on getting a better weapon first. (currently using a 899 dps, 140 dex 140 vit with socket 1her, could definitely afford a better one), i am curious what resistance / armor scores are you running if you claim its possible not to utilize LoH / regen and still be able to dps well.

Like 980//not sure about armour which enchantress like 7.2k? I still have LoH but I don't do some elites without some kiting/cds with offensive build and no deadly reach.

I've finally got a build working I've been playing with since before release:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#UicgXh!UXY!ZcYYba
I'm pretty sure sweeping wind/tempest rush are almost designed to go together. I also think serenity and BoH/Blazing Wrath are almost essential for inferno passed act 1, as every successful build I've done incorporates them.
I completely mow over act 2 inferno with this build, dual wielding. I know that isn't a huge accomplishment, but it is the most effective clearing I've found with the monk (I "farm" on DH), and more importantly, it is a lot of fun. It is somewhat viable in act 3 inferno, but you start to die a lot on the really bad elites. I could put on a shield and push further, but I'd rather not.
I have 697 resist, 5091 armor with evasion/hard target up, with 515 LoH. I think you need at least 15% crit to make this work, or possibly even 20%. At 24.5%, you spawn a LOT of blue tornadoes. Getting 3 stacks of Blazing Fists should happen in one combo 95% of the time, and you use the extra attack speed/run speed to run around with Tempest Rush. I also have 100 life/spirit spent so with the 25% dmg reduction of slipstream and 1000 life per second while using Tempest Rush (not counting LoH and lifesteal) it is basically a second form of invincibility as long as you don't get CC'd.
This build is the most fun I've had on monk, and it clears through trash very fast, while being extremely resilient against elites.

Fairly standard build. Blind - faith is mainly for treasure goblins, having a 3 sec CD for 50% more damage(at least that's what char sheet says) let's me actually kill the stupid things before they port. If I didn't have trouble killing goblins I'd use echo for more interrupts. If I'm farming act 1/2 though I'll swap for overawe and serenity for air ally. It's very nice being able to burst belial before he summons any adds, and only having to deal with 1 gas cloud phase.

Does Mantra of conviction also infuence your allies damage or just your own?

So is there a specific resistance stat better to stack than others? I guess it doesn't matter, but whatever is cheapest?

I went for poison, in retrospect, i wish i went physical, somehow items i'm looking for always have physical+all instead of poison+all. Also, i wouldnt mind the option to run without OWE, but then poison is utterly useless.

I might do that actually... Not run OWE. Is that viable? The reason is, I'm sacrificing a lot other modifiers trying to find all resist and a one type resist on gear... If ever, I should stack physical then?

well, i'm talking about resist all + other resist, so it is still hard to find items with all the good modifiers. On rings/amulet i just got other resist to save money (all resist is much more expensive). If you don't want to run OWE at all, get resist all on everything i guess, dunno if that is feasible without very good gear tho.

Okay my dual wielding build now is this http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#akXigd!ZUX!YabcYb You can change conviction to something else if you need more defense (I suggest you try evasion/backlash to see if it's enough). You can sub dash for cyclone strike and see what you like best, each has it's advantages (cyclone procs resolve on everything on the screen, but it's more spirit hungry, so those damn blood sorcerers are more annoying) Mods you need on your weapons are life/spirit socket and crit dmg. Optional mods are life leech dexterity and life on hit. Your gear should focus on mass resists armor dexterity crit chance and attack speed, with enough vit so you don't get burst down easily. You can get sick dps with this build. EDIT: If your dps is high enough you can ditch every sustain for dual life leech.

I'd stack physical resistance to leave open the option of not using OwE, because physical resistance seems to be the most useful resistance. If not, maybe fire resistance? Things like molten, fire chains, and desecrate were what killed me, and I assume those deal fire damage.

I think you no longer need OwE if you can get high armor all res and dodge. You can even dual wield I think with resolve/guardians path/seize initiative. With shield should be easy to do it with resolve/seize/sixth sense. Just get crit chance on everything and run evasion/backlash, should do okay dmg too.
