AHHHH. I didn't realize you had the blinding flash + damage rune active. I have 21k damage unbuffed in any way right now. So yes, 13k damage is very, very low. I would probably quit D3 if I had to run through Act 2/3 with 13k dps. Good thing is, damage can be fixed. Swap out those amethysts for emeralds in your armor for one, and make sure your boots and gloves have 150+ dex, as they can be found with those stats quite cheaply. I would aim for a ~900 dps one hand as well. I get my LoH from an amulet, a ring, and an offhand, so my weapon is currently quite cheap, although I'm hunting for a 150+ dex, socketed weapon in the 900 DPS range. | ||

Btw, MoH is generally bad compared to MoE:Hard Target. You should easily tank everything with MoE. Stay on Thunderclap for added damage, LoHit, and teleport, if you can control it. | ||

I'm thinking of picking Physical or Poison, for no particular reason other than the fact that I currently have ~20 more points on these. (This is for Hardcore btw, but I don't think it makes much difference in this case) for hardcore just pick a resistance based on your existing gear and switch it if you find different gear - as soon as you feel your gear is reaching a point where it will be hard to replace existing pieces with resistances, just stick to your choice and look only for what you picked. for softcore (or perfectionists in general) you might want to consider chosing a specific resistance because your "perfect gear" includes a legendary item with a base resistance - e.g. arcane on seven sins or poison on andariel's visage. the last consideration is price - apart from the legendary aspect mentioned above there is no gameplay advantage in prioritizing e.g. physical resistance, so i would try to avoid picking the more expensive resistances if your gear allows it. (in my experience physical>arcane>fire>poison>lightning>cold in gameplay importance and thus price) personally i picked cold because the first "expensive" item i bought for my monk had coldres on it. if i had no gear and would have to chose now, i would pick arcane because of seven sins (the only shoulders in the game that can have above 200dex). | ||

Your gear looks fine to me. If anything I'd prefer more LoH (via the gems in your weapons). Your dex is a little low for Act 3, but I don't think that's hindering you. If you're really having trouble, go back to MoE/Hard Target, but I think you should be able to clear Act 3 atm, albeit with some difficulties. | ||

Get more of everything (except health, you don't need to worry about that too much). In general, progressing with a shield is safer and more cost effective than dual wielding. It allows you to control fights better with the negligible side effect of having fights take a little bit longer. Almost all of us progressed with a shield at first, it was practically mandatory before they nerfed Inferno. Past that, there isn't much advice I can give except to just gear up. | ||

Definitely need a shield with that setup, and you need a better weapon really, really bad. Not sure how much money you have, but I think you could get Act 1 finishing level gear for about 500-700k gold. | ||

I spent <3 mil for all gear needed to solo Inferno Act I-IV pre-1.03, so I'm quite sure you don't need more than like 250k for what you need to clear Act I post-1.03 if you know how to scan the AH. | ||
