Not sure, I've been using mangle for extra dps with resolve passive

The ally can be pretty useful, he takes a lot of the hits for you and gives you free DPS time.

i swapped to healing mantra with the shield and now use fists of thunder with the dodge increase rune. I also am trying out cyclone strike and experimenting with runes. I like using this in combination with breath of heaven and the fear rune
because you pull them in then fear them out it's pretty neat.. I feel the heal on serenity is necessary. I'm going to take out transcendance and try another passive out and see if i notice any significant loss in my healing capabilities.
I can't really not use one with everything as a passive because I have 292 cold resistance. I'm thinking about starting to stack dodge more so perhaps going with the guardians path. I'm sword and board however so i'll update you if it works with that.

Although I do kite alot so i'm considering not using cyclone strike and in turn adding crippling wave to my bar i feel it will help quite a bit. PS Dodge bonus from The Guardians path does not work with sword and shield setup.

My main question is still whether anyone has knowledge with gearing for Life on Hit

yeah the healing mantra with shield is very nice. i've been using that mostly when i tank too. 15% free hp is very nice.



Yeah you could use two spirit generators so you can spam the shield more that wouldn't hurt. One for aoe and one for single target.
And I think that life on hit would be pretty nice. Especially with AOE, and a fast weapon. I could imagine that would be VERY useful.

i'm still unsure of how the mechanics of life on hit work.. i'm ISO a 1 hand weapon with 800+ dps and life on hit. atm i have a 440 dps weapon =\

Stuck on butcher (inferno) solo-ing. Been trying different setups, but still cant seem to have everything (dps, resistance, life, etc) so gotta sacrifice something....resistance in this case.

Maybe my priorities are wrong... help anyone?

stack dodge, you can get up to 75% dodge + block from what i've seen.

that with stuff like lashing tail to stun and blinding light it should be no problem.

if you're getting hit by the butcher at all then you're doing it wrong. all out dps

^ lol I've learned. got past butcher

This just in! Been farming inferno with 5 stacks of nephalem for the last 4 hours lol. All my resistances are around 340 and rising now. The only thing i desperately need is DPS!!!

Just started with Inferno on my monk.
