i will get 1 ring with 300 loh and try him again tonight.
at the beginning it was fine, just after a short while when his life was at 2/3, felt no where to go

I killed him with my undergeared monk. I only have ~27k life so its definitely doable.

My suggestions:
1. Ditch the shield. Dual wield>shield. Vs ghom u need more DPS and the extra life on hit AND atk speed actually increases your survivability than a shield.
2.Make sure to kite him slowly so he overlaps poison as much as possible.
3. Gas only fills the room once he enrages so u must increase dmg output so u dont take that long.
4.Post your skills b/c u can prob improve it.
5. I recommend mantra of healing with resistance.


I could help more but u need to post ur skills and explain what ur having problems with. I downed ghom after 2 wipes with a monk I geared for 12mil so it doesnt require the TOP TOP gear.

InB4 buffjesus explains tanky as fuck is the only way to play a monk again. I agree with this post, not a bad strategy to try.

im still waiting on anybody to show me a glass cannon monk that doesnt take 20 tries to kill a boss, or doesnt have to avoid 1/4 of rare packs




even though he doesnt fully fill the room till 3 mins or w/e after like 30-60 seconds it feels like theres nowhere to go. most people get caught in a dead end with slime balls coming to rape them

I haven't seen other people fight him, but I only died due to the 3minute enrage the first time. If you kite him slowly in a large circle and make sure he overlaps his poison as much as possible, you will have a lot of room to fight until the enrage hits.

Slimy balls = health globes to me. They can hurt u if ur not careful, but honestly I use them to HEAL up with LoH.

U will prob force urself into a deadend a lot, but stand in the dead end and force him to use a poison cloud there and then GTFO with serenity. It will give u more kite room in total.

hmm..yeah, i was stupid that i did not think of changing skills. because i had 5 stacks
i do realize that I did not use some skills at all

that skill spec made me go 0_0.

use this skillset http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aiXYgQ!YUX!aZbcYc and roflstomp the game. Change out mantra for Dodge+hard target in other fights, but healing is better for ghom.

i beat him when i was undergeared. would tank him as long as i could with fists of thunder, then pop serenity and tank him some more, then go to edge of cloud and use deadly reach until serenity cooldown came back.

use the armor rune w/evasion

i know. i am a new monk and have not had problems yet till gnom..

haha its cool.

let me know how the fight goes with the new spec.
