Also run a different build that is WAY tankier, using shield and tank helm, blur instead of glass cannon, prismatic instead of pinpoint and increased dmg instead of teleport rune on archon, but that is mostly against bosses only. Or just when I am lazy.
how does that build run exactly? I'm on a standard WW build trying to switch to the archon ww build.

ooh I can answer that one: Here is my detailed Archon guide (requires 60k+ dps):
1. Take the waypoint to wherever you want to go.
2. Click 1(magic weapon), 2(familiar), 3(energy armor)
3. Left click somewhere so your character moves forward
4. Repeat 3 until you see monsters
5. Press 4(Archon)
6. Right click on wherever the monsters are
7. Watch them disintegrate/ collect loot
8. If for some reason Archon runs out (most common cause is falling asleep, because the build is somewhat boring), move towards monsters and press leftclick so that twisters come out. Also spam righclick (crystal shell) so that you don't die. You are somewhat vulnerable without Archon. Danger!
9. Very soon you can press 4(Archon) again.
10. Repeat step 6/7

HC DH in MF gear, but MF gear is pretty equal to normal gear, slightly less crit. Don't really know where to improve without ruining myself atm. Looking to get more good MF gear but it's pretty rare and yeah, i dunno anyone got ideas? Crit on quiver with max disc, vit, dex is... oh so expensive sadly.

My build and gear listed is still just running the standard Vota+ run. I went crit+mf at the same time and all the gear I had (ias+loh focus) when I beat inferno the first time (30k dps etc) I sold on thr RMAH the last time I "cashed out". I have started to re-collect a non-MF crit/ias set. I just can't sand attacking slow, it pains me to death with just 15% ias from DW.
How long do typical Act 3 runs take for you? I beat Inferno on my barb and could do a 5 stack siege breaker run with 0 MF but the quantity of rares was at 1/3rd the rate of my VOTA runs, especially getting to 5 stacks with 0 MF is unrewarding. Barb and monk both ~20k dps. And on that note, farming with a budget WW barb that cant blow packs up in less than a minute is... a lot of work!!!! All that mouse moving to keep spinning and laying tornadoes down in the right spot. With fists of thunder I just hold left mouse and automagically teleport to the elite every time it moves until it dies. I also fail at overpower/ww... still find it clunky as my tornado placement is terrible as many times I burn rage on sprint and only lay one down against the wall. I sort f enjoy running thru trash packs and dragging them into elite packs just to generate rage. Act 3 monster types are more annoying too... Can't beat the ease of skeletons or goblins >_<
My apologies, totally didn't see your reply. A full A3 run through I don't really do, but I would estimate 3 hrs. It's just too long and too boring with a tanky monk. But I run with 19k dps (actually 20k now) and 225 static MF comfortably through stonefort, keeps, and siegebreaker. That run probably takes me anywhere between 30 minutes to more than an hour depending on the packs I encounter. I can do 2-4 of those runs in the time it would take me to run through A3 completely, so it's actually not that bad efficiency-wise.
My monk was my first roll and I have regeared him countless times. Basically, you can't go crit/mf and expect to survive A3 consistently. It's impossible to afford gear that'll make that work. I'm not even sure its possible even if you had the gold/money. You're gonna need very good defensive stats to go along with that crit and MF. I've heard of some monks who can down packs in A3 in less than 4 sec or so, but I've never heard or seen of one that has 200+ MF. Maybe someone could show one off in this thread :D
What I did on my last regear was I dropped crit completely, and have zero movespeed. This allows me to afford some solid defensive gear with MF. By no means is my gear cheap, but it's about as cheap as you can get for a monk with 225 static MF that can run A3 comfortably. Shoot for a minimum of 700 AR, 1400 LOH, 40k life.

Please, refer to TheMango's opening post. There are other threads for advice.

Let's see your gear then. I can't imagine that someone would make a smug comment as you have an not have better gear than everyone else in the thread.

here's my current farming setup:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/MysticaL-1298/hero/4074361
My next change to my gear is probably to get a +10 disc quiver, so that I have 40 total disc, and then get a 55+ resist all nat shadow. Trying to get 500AR/700+ physical resist w/ 40k hp, while keeping my 100k DPS and nats set for that inevitable pvp
also looking for 6% crit bracers and 180+ dex/AR/phys resist shoulders (dammit mango your shoulders are so good)... but these barely exist on the AH T__T

Mango, can you upload a Siegbreaker run? I want to get really jelly and gelatinous.

The SOJ adds a surprising amount of damage against elite groups. I can full clear A3 in about 70-80m depending on the layout and how well I play. This build does require playing somewhat carefully, I sometimes do very stupid things and get myself killed. The only groups I have trouble with are phase beasts groups and certain molten/vortex/fire chains type groups, when I'm not in archon of course.
I found the belt, SOJ, source, and gloves myself, the last three within a few days of playing.

that's a pretty sick source..

here's my dh but i switch around the boot with a mf one. only the bow and nat reflection are self found, but they are the most valuable pieces. shoulder rented by trading w/ friend. next piece will be the quiver as soon as i stop wasting money
most of my gear is 1 roll from end game though, except maybe the nat ring. i cut out maybe 40% ehp to get some more DPS, on the theory that those ehp can be made up from future upgrades from quiver, bracers, etc. then again i could just switch out more emeralds for amethysts but i think i don't die enough in a solo game to justify it.
