not sure should i play monk at all now, till patch goes up...

ah yeah... that definitely sucks, i'm just starting to gear my monk so it doesn't bother me all too much thankfully.

yeah we get to regear with better stats overall. it will be much easier to gear up than it was the first time. only really need to worry about primary stats.

I've spent 27,000 shards trying for a single item. I've rolled 120 borns shoulders trying to get my stacked res with good stats. I made 100 captain crimsons to get my stacked res. I've rolled 3/4 of my items for my stacked res.

I have to completely regear all of my monks for this.

Less time then the first yes... But it's still a monumental kick in the fucking balls. Especially when it's simply to maintain toughness I already had.

This haha

if you think it's going to take you more than a miniscule fraction of rolls to regear those pieces, you're kidding yourself.

when you don't have to roll for stacking, you typically get a good roll inside of 10 rolls.

it's also not for toughness you already had. it's for better, overall more rounded toughness, that doesn't take the absurd level of rerolls you're stating.

if it's that fucking hard to roll "proper" gear on a monk, this system in place is broken and needs to be fixed. cry about it all you want, it doesn't change the fact that 2.1 will be incredibly good for the class.

there is old saying dont fix what is not broken. so tehy are fixing popular good passive. after the patch i guess there will be still 80 % monks using it. instead they should change crappy passives which will never be used

Everyone has to stay calm for now regarding the Dex to armour and OWE situation.
I can understand we may need to hunt for new gears, but may also benefit in the long run.
We need to test out the new changes when PTR comes out and re-evaulate.
I still think our biggest need is in the DPS department.

Bnet forums are just funny to read, you can't reason with people in there.

I can see the changes to OWE being pretty good, combined with the massive armour boost we're getting. You can now use pretty much every secondary resist on your items as they benefit to all res.

But, we'll wait and see.
