Those are some pretty well rolled legendaries.

At what point do people drop Transendence? I still get a warm fuzzy knowing when I mash mantra, I heal myself. I've started to go crit/crit damage (31%/+122%), but keep my attack speed above 2 and LoH around 700, so I'm not quite over the hump as jewelry eludes me.

Then again, when I'm walled in desecration, plague, with 12 arcane sentries are about to hit me, and I'm surrounded by shielded/invulnerable minions so I can't regen... I'm not sure what we're supposed to do.

I dropped transendence for resolve as soon as i got 700loh, but the heal doesn't feel like it's enough. Imo, around 1k+ is a good time to drop it. Are u using SW:cyclone with that crit?

below is a montage of my monk - i am not looking for advice, just throwing my char out there to maybe give someone an idea for his build.
+ Show Spoiler +
i made this monk before 1.03 with the intention of having a tank able to farm a3 without kiting, and decided to stick with a rather defensive (and consistent) setup after the patch. (which is why i wanted to have a ton of block)
if you have any questions or want to play a similar char and are looking for advice on what gear to upgrade etc feel free to add me, my tag is 2345.

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.

Eh, everything looks either ridiculously overpriced or is garbage. Plus, retards pop in +30 LoH gems into weapons so it utterly craps up the results.

I've done Act 1 4 or 5 times and nothing's really dropping so I might try my luck in Act 2.

Feels to me like prices are getting higher all the time. I'm at the start of act3, but with my 2million gold I can buy very little worthwhile stuffs. I heard even well-geared people were doing act1 to farm, so that means a ton of farming? Or maybe get better at AH trading. Meh.

My current ACT 2 build is the following Monk Build. I was basically wondering whether to use Resolve or The Guardian's Path. The latter increases my dodge chance to 51, reaching 58 when spamming the Mantra. So far I haven't really noticed a big difference between the two.

One more thing. I am currently running with 620 res to all, 13k dps unbuffed. I think my dps is too low and I fear that I might hit a brick wall towards the end of the act. What do you guys think, should I farm better gear in ACT1 or continue?

I have 21k dps, and Act 2 was a pain. If I had to half that, I would probably cry. I have 650 res all as well, so there's that too. With kiting and time, you could definitely complete Act 2, but it will be a pain. Are you dual wielding? I have been since I found a good off-hand, and the extra LoH + hits it gives me seems almost as valuable as shield block.

Last night i killed belial with 13k dps (goes up to 20k for few sec with some skills activated), 48k hp, 950 all res xD I finished him at the last second while ate up all the bombs when he entered raging mode. It was my third try!!

I can kill all act2 elite no problem but some of them may take me awhile but never reach the enrage timer so far. Skills set i used: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aWXYgQ!UZ!aZbcZc

FYI, HoE/Hard Target is better in almost every situation than MoH/ToN.


And for me...just starting act 3. Can't kill a single elite pack after cruising right through act 2.

22.5k dps, 650 resist, 900 LoH, 1.6 attack speed. Just.....LOL. So ridiculous, I don't even know where to go from here.
