What should I be looking for in a shield? Is stormshield worth it at all or would a good rare accomplish the same thing for a monk?

None of the legendaries are worth what people are posting right now.

hey

why do u dont use Crippling Wave with Concussion? 30% slow, 20% slower attack speed and 20% less dmg

for a shield look for high block rate/allres/specific res/dex/vit/life%

storm shield can offer all of these, but they are quite expensive.

Is it true that physical reduction is cap 50% like d2?

looking for new pants ->http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=62814901&f=153&o=0#p419871246
need a new weapon with life on hit, but around the same attack speed
currently buying a better amulet that has all rests + stats of my old one.


rings need upgrading too, but not so much as the other parts

gosu

look at my weapon.

Great build man! I've been looking for a solid inferno monk build.

It's not 100% up to date (it does ofc still work). I dont write that often in this thread anymore because i sold my monk to start HC.
I cant test stuff for you guys and i cant tell you which mantra to use anymore.
I thank you all for posting things that work for you and helping out each other. This is what the thread was meant for!
Before i sold my monk i was using 2 weaps, both with life on hit and it worked really well for me. I switched out deadly reach for thunderclap, earth ally for sweeping wind and resolve for transcendence (earth ally is not as good with thunderclap as it is with deadly reach and transcendence is great if you have a fast as).

we are half way through inferno act 2 now. barb and monk pretty funny

I use serenty 4sec, heal with increased dmg, blind with inc dmg, evasion mantra with fire aoe, sweeping wind with last rune, shield 20%block, deadly reach with knee, resolve, dex = armor and resi passive

barb uses shouts, zeal as primary, berserk, revenge and stuff like that

works nice!
