Thanks to jinshin &monkster for the words of wisdom

Starting to shape up well, 150k dps is an insane amount of damage with a tr spec. What should happen next to get to mp10 playability? Doing mp6 with ease, sometimes an elite will get a killer mods and my serenity will be on cooldown but other than that I survive very well. Def not mp10 material yet though.

Btw jinshin you were right about quickening, I liked tclap better when I was using the spirit sweeping wind for the aoe sustain, but now that I've switched quickening is awesome at getting spirit right back up really quickly.

Or should I do a different spec for mp10? I mean I like tr and stuff but not being able to use any ehp passives is brutal (in a bad way). I did a few mp10 runs with the palm setup and it was okay I guess, I died a LOT, generally right before I could bell to kill the whole mob. Anyway I don't want to spend billions but it'd be really nice to be able to do solo ubers and stuff.

TR / Bell is very viable for mp10.
My 4 piece innas TR setup is about 250k dmg, 4k armour, 50k life, 600 all res ... no problems in mp10
Jin, Huntersghost, I, and other monks were playing this setup alot a few months back.
There are a few items you can upgrade to get more dmg, but it won't be cheap
50+ more dex in VW
more dex in Innas helm
Tri gloves
more cc / all res in bracers
nats ring with cc
70+ dex on boots
better skorn
I prefer nice rare ring over stone of jordan

I only have 1.8 spirit regen on my helm, swap to a different rare ring and I can infinite TR
I use same passives as you and health mantra & SW with spirit regen instead
I generate 14 spirit / sec with 1.25 attack speed

Vouched.

Found a little better spec.

I know tr/bell is viable but I don't wanna spend a ton on my monk. Is there any less expensive mp10 build?

OK ... did a little more HC last night.

All ready to faceoff with Butcher.
Butcher was down to 1/4 life ... I was tanking him pretty good
Then the floor lit up on fire...
My life when from full to 1/4 life.
I popped my health potion, I dropped 2 bells thinking he would die ... I was about to celebrate.
Damn, he had like 1/100 life left and I am down to 1/10 ... potion on cooldown, out of spirit ... fakkkk
Should I tank with my 5 LoH... or should I retreat ?
Split second decision, I run for the health well.
All of a sudden, I see Butcher doing his weapon grab attack ... oh shit, I totally forgot he had that move
I said to myself " Holy Faakkk, I am a dead man "
I must have hit my left click like 100 times ... trying to make him run faster.
His attack was just out of reach and I got to the health well.
Tele back to him and bam .... Butcher finally died ... I frozed and my heart must have skipped a few beats.
This HC thing is gonna give me a heart attack ... but it's so much fun though.
Butcher rewarded me with a nice helm.
On to Act 2 ... better step down a mp lvl

Cmon Jin ...
Jerome and I played for a bit last night

That sounds so fun. ........

Okay

I'll make it tomorrow! !!
