Its a giant ugly bellthing. Only with a party to support you, right? I can't imagine you can take many hits/kill stuff before it can hit you every time. | ||

With the explosion rune, if you pop it after refreshing mantra + blind, it is a guaranteed kill on elite packs, and considerable damage on the remaining elites. Still can't place it above serenity though. Are the explosions better than the teleport one that does 2309% damage? I have been using that instead. | ||

Can you help me set some basic stats so I can clear act 3 without THAT much trouble. things like dps vit allres critcs etc. An exemple is good enought, just a base so I can build up over that. thanks. What I found working for me was dual wielding with ~5k armor 700~ resist and ~35k dps. I wasn't able to beat act 3 before the patch, but I was able to clear it just yesterday. Oh, I also had around 1200 Life on hit with this build, which I think really helped to compensate for the lower dps. | ||

If you can't clear act 3 and die too much then you need more defensive stats. A better shield, better res, good defensive skills. I don't think you should be dual wielding. You should be dual wielding if you are breezing through with 1h/shield and figure you can stand the heat without the shield for more DPS. | ||

If grouped I go full dps, solo I sometimes have to swap in a shield but overall it feels nice. Funny, but same here actually. I went from 20k to 40k+. I also dual wield in parties if I have a barb shout but otherwise I really need my shield. | ||

I went Fist + Shield as it can roll MF. Eventually when I can drop some MF, the shield will be the first to go and I'll give Shenlong a go (when it's much cheaper hopefully) | ||

Just need to use those extra filters! It's crafted with 5 random properties so the range is pretty big. 2 pc bonus almost put me back at 2 aps which makes things funner.

Eventually when I can drop some MF, the shield will be the first to go and I'll give Shenlong a go (when it's much cheaper hopefully) A similar advice from myself, sit in front of the AH, filter 1h monk weapons for 1. Has sockets 2. Life on hit 3. Sort on time remaining and look through 1d12 weapons Keep refreshing and I guarantee that in under 15 minutes you will get a very good deal. For example the item I just resold: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/SKMyy.png) P.S.: I have quite a few of such items that I got real cheap, can't resell due to AH slot limit. If any undergeared/lowbudget monk wants weapons on EU SC, send me a message @ Foucault#2331. Free of charge. | ||
