i have no problem with it, your life stat is irrelevant. What's your build, armour, life on hit, attack speed, crit, crit damage?

Slayer whats your stat's/build?. You seem to have inferno by the balls.
I'm farming magda easily but get stomped in the zulton kulle questline from the elemental guys, with 10k armor buffed with enchant, 10k dps, 600 physical resist and 350 resist on the rest. running 23k hp.

Way too low resists wise prolly overkill on armor. At 800+ res all u can just sit still and left click trough act 2 with conviction aura. You can sac at least 3k of that armor for more double resist gear.

I'm not sure on the exact numbers but err
950+ resist all
not sure on exact armour 6.2k i think unbuffed
like 35% crit 140% crit dmg or so
+6% attack speed
~1k life on hit
~30k hp
DPS = 20k without blazing wrath.
I'm using FoT+SW+Mystic ally+serenity+conviction for farming, but If I was struggling with worse stats I'd have something like
deadly reach FoT/breath of heaven
sweeping wind+air ally
mantra of evasion with hard target+serenity with peaceful repose
OwE Seize, transcendence passives.
I used to have 2 attacks/second but only like 1.5 now but more crit and cvrit dmg.

might change STE back to OWE then. grab some higher resist shoes/helm/rings and ill be golden. TY.
10k dps feels low tho, i got a 700dps weapon tho. Single player it is enough to rampage threw tho.

Ghom is pretty much impossible for me right now. What kind of stats are people killing him with now?

The general consensus is that you don't kill him as melee anymore.
|
I just came here to ask how to beat ghom lol. Fml
|
I haven't tried him after the patch. If the mechanics are the same deadly reach kite around the map to avoid taking too many stacks of the damage over time ticking thing.
Maybe I'm horribly wrong but I also heard people complaining about pre patch blood clan warriors when you can clearly just kite them when they are enraged.
|
Nevermind, I just assumed he was impossible because of most forum posts complaining. I just killed him a second ago with with ~55k unbuffed dps dual wield, 30k hp, 750 resist. He's probably impossible if you're undergeared because he'll just fill up the whole room with gas and enrage.

nm, got it 
|
Ghom is impossible if you're undergeared because it's a relatively tight enrage on a fight where kiting is a neccessity along with good sustain. I killed him post patch, with about 21k dps. 8.5k armor, 600 resist all, 750 phys, 650 LoH in ~3:30. It is possible to kite in such a way that he won't fill the whole room with poison, but it's hard. Definitely the hardest boss in the game right now though gearcheck wise.

I did it very easily with 34k hp, ~750 resist, 6500 armor and 33k dps dual wielding. Also had 900 LoH. Simply dragged him slowly along the outer edge of the room, sitting in each gas cloud for as long as possible between heals+serenity.

I did Ghom with 16k dps buffed by MoC/intimidation. it's all about careful kiting and movement. deadly reach is necessary imo.

Switched form my ivory tower to a 400dps weapon to go along side my 700 dps weapon. Swapped out some dex for vit, resist all, and crit % when upgrading my rings. Now i just need to upgrade my weapons/belt/pants/armor and I should be able to clear act 4. I am happy with my other gear.
Pics with BoH and MoE proc'd. I can easily farm act 2 now kiting elites down. I only die if I make a mistake on dashing strike now. Thinking or switching out MoE for Overawe to see how it does.
Cyclone with deadly reach's range against clumped up mobs procs constantly. I've had over 5 twisters up at once. Reminds me of my DH with the electric elemental arrow, rape and pillages.

Dual wielding takes the average dps of your 2 weapons. You might want to put your shield back on.

Nope. with my skill build i have almost 60% dodge when evasion is proc'd. I re-runed MoE with backlash. 49% dmg AoE on every miss'd attack is no joke. when surrounded that rune is borderline OP. Proc's multiple times a second. Arguably better then SW.
64% dodge with this build:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#adjhXg!UYd!ZbbcbY
Also backlash proc's threw serenity. Dash in punch n mantra up. Deal 49% weapon damage 60% of the time I get hit.
When you dash into a pack n pop serenity. they disappear.

evasion:backlash is great for regular mobs, sucks against champs/elites, worthless against bosses
SW:cyclone pretty decent against everything

I'm really having a lot of trouble in Act 3 and some parts of Act 2. I have a lot of gold stored up and willing to spend 15M to buy new gear for my monk but I just don't know how to maximize it as much humanely possible. Not to mention the recent nerf on attack speed just made decision-making a lot harder.
Here's my stats (unbuffed):
Dex 1514
Vit 638
Armor 4544
Damage 16713.37
Attacks per Second 1.6
Crit Chance 5%
Crit Damage +50%
Block Amount 2794-3704
Block Chance 18%
Dodge Chance 35.1%
Damage Reduction 60.23%
Resistance (with OWE) 533
Life 22606
Life Per Hit 300
