sigh thought I had gotten serenity off but apparently not.
can definitely slowly kite him around the room at least.
[image loading]

edit: did kill him with overawe eventually ,but before that managed to get trapped beside a pillar between him and his critters.
rejection and peace tiramisu. I think that went well.

Hi, I would love it if some of you guys would critique my gear and build. I'm having trouble in Act III and I'm not sure if I should farm Act I or II.

I only have about 200k gold saved up, and there doesn't seem to be a budget Act III guide out yet

thats the issue. should be at least 25k for act3, and higher than that for more efficiency.

You should have no problem clearing Act 3 with MoE, but it's never gonna be as efficient as running Act 1/2 with Overawe. On the other hand, you should be able to clear act 4 with only a few more upgrades if you haven't done that already.

it's not the problem, though, if he just wants to progress. i killed diablo with barely 20k dps unbuffed. skipped a few elites, though, but not the majority of them.

i got like double his LoH but rest is similar, so that might be why. however if you're unlucky with the elite affix combination you're fucked either way.

Yeah, I cleared inferno with 15k dps but tanky as hell without much trouble to be honest. (I use the same build as the guy asking for help except mantra of evasion hard target, not sure what runes you are using). Only big difference I can see is mantra and my loh was about 1100 or so.

btw if you are low on dmg but can't use overawe, mantra of evasion / backlash is pretty nice imo... you still have lot of extra dodge for safety and you gain so much extra damage, specially vs many whitemobs. i used it in act4 and it was good. still using it for farming act1 because with overawe i die in my MF/dmg equip ^^

What do you guys think of getting a helm with Fists of Thunder +damage %? Assuming it works the way I think it does - 10% FoT damage means your normal DPS * 1.1 when using FoT - it seems like a very efficient way to increase your effective DPS, although you don't get see the huge DPS numbers DHs do.

So people that do crit builds, how much IAS do you shoot for? I stayed with dex/crit/ias/loh and clearly can't afford (or ever bother to search for) items with ias/dex/crit/resist/etc/etc, much less afford anything with > 3 good stats. It took me forever to find rings with ias/dex/phys resist/loh, and adding crit to that is nigh impossible. I guess ias is the stat most give up for crit/dmg?

Current Stats - Sword and Board (185 dex 9% crit shield)
369/2047/299/669 7408 armor 29k dps 2.06 aps 15% crit +50% crit damage 506 resist 24k life with 791 life on hit.

I cleared Inferno with much less stats using a life-regen heavy gear (1.2k/sec) and a very tanky build, but trying to find a good farming meduim. I use Inna's Helm (11% fists of thunder), Inna's Pants, and Tal Rasha's Chest... I can't seem to find rares that compare to the loss of 12% ias those give. Like the above poster, has anyone done any analysis on how effective the +% damage to a specific skill is on those Helms?

If you're gearing for crit, you need a lot of crit damage to make it worthwhile. Attack speed isn't all that important. Having about 1.7-1.8 attacks per second will be enough to spam mantra every 3 seconds using FoT.

Having a shield with crit on it doesn't really constitute as a "crit build". If you're serious about it, find an amulet with 6+ crit, rings with 4+, gloves with 8+ crit and 8+ attack speed, bracers and helm with crit, and a weapon with crit dmg and a free socket.

Honestly, the whole Inna's set is pretty bad for Monks. DHs can get away with pants + belt and still wear Natalya's set, but there are much, much better rares for Monks.

12% IAS can easily be replaced by 150-250 dex. As for the Helm, it is simply terrible. Low primary stats, no resist, no socket. It might be fun to wear one if you can find a decent one for 400k, but that's about it. Funnily enough, it grants +% damage to the 6 skills that were spirit generator in early beta. Apparently, that's when most sets/legendaries were made, and they didn't bother to look at them ever since. They should have simply put a +% dmg to spirit generators instead, so one could at least entertain the idea of using combination strike.

I used to wear a Spirit Stone with +deadly reach damage, and it does seem to give a % increase after everything, just like +6% holy damage on the belt. That said, with the stats on Inna's set being so bad, 10% damage can't make up for it.

Hi there,

I have finished inferno using my wizard and collected 5mn from that. It doesn't make sense to keep the cash so i wanna throw everything to my lv60 monk. I got a few questions though:

1) What is the budget for each item? what are the more expensive ones and what stats to look for?
2) What is the reasonable resist to survive (with some kiting) in act 3?
3) What LoH is needed for act 3?

I don't want to go full tank as well....kinda boring.....so i just want to know the min. stats to survive in act 3 then the rest i will go for dps.

Thanks in advance! =)

hi all so i made a monk since a few days and this is my stat (after whatever passive or skill activated):
900 all res (poison), 20k+ dps, 40k+ hp. Spent about 3mil to make the full gear, i came from WD so my gears are mostly not transferable.

[image loading]

Since chapter skipping doesnt work anymore i have tried as far as the magda quest in act2. I can tank almost everything types of elite but it takes awhile to kill them so i am really bored now.

Can my stat solo diablo? Thinking may be just ask mate for a waypoint and get this game done with -_-

Resocket your pants with all Dex. You have more than enough life. Resocket your weapon with a 400 life on hit. Your Dps will drop but your sustain should incrase a lot. With those small tweaks you can even go A3 I think.

Jeez......dude, all that for 3 mil?? That is seemingly very nice equipment. For comparison, I'm almost done with Act 2, having had very little trouble, and I have 650 resists, 23k dps(dual-wielding), 28000 life, 5.5k armor. I do have 1700 dex though, 900 LoH, and 20% crit, which especially with sweeping winds/cyclone(tornadoes proc LoH) makes my sustain through the roof even though i'm not even that tanky. Busy elite + normal mob fights move my hp bar so fast I have to have a lightning fast serenity trigger finger. If my hp moved as much as it does in HC as in SC, I would have been dead from a heart attack in no time.

Skill suggestion since you're so tanky. Trash crippling wave, bring in sweeping wind/blades for the AoE. Trash your MoE, bring in Overawe. Your dps will go through the roof, and elites will die MUCH more quickly.

If you swap out some gems, and get some LoH, you should be able to trash diablo. 950 resist and high block + dodge is in godlike tank realm.
