33k hp 690 resist 6500 armor unbuffed 900 loh 15k damage 1700 dex I know my damage is low (rest seems pretty ok compared to what I've seen around here), but how do I improve it? My dex isn't too low as far as I can tell, my weap is a 700dps with 200 dex with star amethyst for 300loh. Other thing that is low is critchance 13%,critdmg 90%. Should I focus on getting more crit primarily? Would switching 300loh for 70crit damage be a good idea? Items are really getting expensive lately (for people who don't play that much). Thanks! | ||

Don't start worrying about crit dmg until you get a decent amount of crit. aim for crit on bracers, helm, rings, ammulet, shield if possible. You want about over 30% crit before you start worrying about getting crit dmg more ( from 2 weps with sockets or what not ) I think your best upgrade without seeing your gear might be your weapon as its a little low in dps. I think you should keep your life on hit for now and just work on getting some crit into your build and maybe a little more dmg on your weapon without losing too much of your other stats. It can be expensive but these are the ways to up your dmg | ||

Im not sure what your stat distribution is, but getting a ~4-500 LoH amulet with other decent stats is fairly inexpensive, around 2-3 mil. Then spend ~2-5 mil on 850+ dps 1 hander with 200+ dex and ~50 crit damage, and that will give you a huge dps boost. But without seeing your items, it's hard to know what actually needs upgrading. | ||

80~ Dex 50~ Vit 30~ AR or your specific resist (preferably your specific resist because it's cheaper) 250~ LoH Even something like that would be a few million though. | ||

Thanks man! I guess that would be a good idea, although I'd need up to 8m just to do that (I seriously think the weapon might be more expensive even). I don't think i've spent that much so far (only about 5m) Back to farming then, I've only got 3m now and farming is really slow as I play too little. | ||

Standard offensive is FoT-thunderclap, conviction-overawe, SW-cyclone, BoH-DPS, Ally(wind is highest dps I think), and then one more, usually either serenity for mistakes, or blind with the dps buff for maximum damage. Keeping overawe up is higher damage per spirit spent than basically every other monk skill so it's not worth dumping spirit on anything else, not to mention that most skills interrupt attack animation and cost a chunk of spirit. | ||

Acutally I use both blind and serenity without the ally. Blind imo is a required skill for cyclonebuilds, serenity because its the law You want to do insane damage in those 4 seconds of immortality. The ally doenst fit in there that good. But yeh rest of the build is the same | ||

Started Inferno Act 1: 42k HP 9k DPS 0 LoH 92 AR Then I started looking in this thread... Now I'm: Currently: Act 1 27.3k HP 11.3k DPS 135 LoH 626 AR Obviously, I focused on getting my AR up quite a bit, and things are so much easier. I died almost right away when I first got to A1, now I'm getting through it just fine (some yellow guys still own me though). But my question is, what do I focus on now? LoH? Maybe get a new weapon with a socket? I'm still getting more AR, only about half my armor is AR+poison res right now, so I'm focusing on that, but I'm not sure if there's something more important. Maybe I'm missing something else important? EDIT: Ok, so just got AR over 600. Still got a little to go, but the auctions are under way. What's the best way to look for LoH? DEX/Life per hit/has sockets? | ||

Once you have enough LoH, AR, and Armor to tank threw anything, focus on DPS. Killing a mob threw a serenity is sometimes easier then tanking it. | ||

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 Transcendence when i got LoH around 1k. The scenario you are describing is why i run with dashing strike. The mobility it gives is a lifesaver. | ||

DEX/Life per hit/has sockets? MOAR LOH. I would suggest finding it on an amulet. You can find a 600+ LoH amulet with a little resist and dex for ~2-3 mil, and that will be way more than enough to cruise through Act 1. Loh ~1k is amazing in that it lets you face tank all but the most dangerous mobs(and lasers) so long as there is no CC or shielding, almost regardless of tankiness to some degree. If you have 5-600 AR, 1k LoH will let you cruise through anything in Act 1 just facerolling your keyboard. After you get ~800 LoH, then you want a big weapon upgrade. I personally would suggest a simple 200+ dex fist around 900 dps, and a ~800 dps weapon with a socket and ~150 dex. You can find both for under 5 mill, and you decide whether you need more LoH in the form of a giant amethyst, or massive crit damage in the form of a emerald. That should easily put you ~17-18k dps by itself. | ||

DEX/Life per hit/has sockets? I totally agree with getting more life on hit. I noticed a massive difference with how much I could withstand massive mobs and or champ/elite pack damage. Would also recommend a little more resists, i completed inferno diablo on about 760 resists as I was duel wielding, but with a shield i was between 800-900. Probobably no point in getting more than 900 though as it's kind of diminishing returns. I have also completed inferno on a barbarian and wizard and they all have roughly betwwen 750-850 resists. Life per hit on a weapon and your amulet are the sources, i actually got a very high life on hit off hand weapon so i only went with a good 400ish life on hit amulet but my life on hit is probably overboard of what you need to do inferno diablo. A 400-500 life on hit amulet with good stats is what you should be looking for if you can't afford a 600+ one or find one with a good balance of other stats. You should also try to get your life up to 30-35K (30k atleast) if you can. It helps with not getting one shotted by malochors / gulgors and those huge towering leg things in acts 3/4 when you get there. Once you get to a point where you survivability is really good then start thinking about getting your DPS up for the later acts. Because if you can survive the damage you might as well deal / dish it out faster (survivabilty in terms of armour, resists, life on hit, life per second, total life). I pretty much completed all my characters (except demon hunter) on inferno this way by going tanky, then turning the tank into a tank/dps character Good luck bro. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wTi5s.jpg) | ||

My monk ~28k hp 6.5k armor 780 all res 20k dmg (unbuff) 38% crit/~150 crit dmg ~800 Loh/950 life/sec i use to have ~900 all res 33k hp and ~700 loh,zero life/regn. But i found that sacrificing the 100 all res,5k hp is worth it for the life regn. I can solo act 3 except for a couple packs (hulking phase like) | ||

I thought I had a pretty strong build, it goes something like this: 39k Hp 780 AR 6.2k Armor 1.5k LoH - attack speed 2.1 19k dps With this I use Crippling wave with concussion, Healing Mantra with resistant rune, serenity and inner sanctuary with damage reduction rune and Transcendence as defensive skills. To summarize I can heal continuously around 5k hp per/sec and have 74% elemental resistance and 67% armor reduction plus 32% dodge. I can tell you did not stand a chance in hell. I died within seconds (2-3). Is there even a way to tank this? Cause I cannot even come up with ideas how I could withstand more AOE damage. Resolve does not effect AOE, my resistance is already at such a high level it becomes stat inefficient to get it higher. Dodge does not either effect AOE as far as I get it. Not sure how shield work, can you "block" AOE? I guess something like a high speed/stun/dash build could have worked with some good mechanics. Did not try that but that is not really relevant for the question, if you can tank it? This was on the other hand worse case scenario cause I got them immediately at an dungeon entrance but I am not sure it would have made a difference either way cause they had more then twice my movement speed. Well GG on that elite, restart game and hope he dont spawn again. EDIT: Does anyone know if all AOE stack by the way? Like if you stand in two overlapping plague pools or two molten "walk paths" does it take twice the damage? | ||
