i use the spirit also for infinite tempest rush, mass travel speed+mass knockback, and a 132%to 200% weapon dam*aps to targets in the arrea when tempest rushing (90%of monsters can only be knockbacked, and can never hit monk)
and for Hand of Ytar spamming, extra damage


62 life per spirit spent passive skill
56 i seen on fist
30 on helmet

204 life per spirit sent, posible some more!

2.5spirit regen on firsts
2.33spirit regen on helm
frostburn gloves 1.5 spirit regen
Xephirian amu 2.17 spirit regen / Holy Beacon amu 2 spirit regen
Hellcat Waistguard 2.17 spirit regen belt
Soj 2.17 spirit regen

a total of 17,51 spirit regen per second from gear only

wicked wind = 3spirit/sec
air aly = 2*aps spirit/sec
and some more skills, like mantra5

upto 31.51spirit per sec regen * 204life per spirit spent = 6428 life per sec avarage regeneration
lets say, 2.5aps * 75spirit cost per Wave of light * 204 = 38250 life healed in a second
Hand of Ytar30spirit *2.5aps*204= 15300 life per sec

ofc you can go whit less heal/regen, for more defend skills for example, its just a example of what is cloose to max posible!
ofc you are allowed to melee-tank a little, using some combo sks meanwhile, allow +/- upto 25spirit regen per sec extra (i do this in party, to keep agro on my monk instead of on party! monsters are smart, they know who will die first!)

I was planning to go this route as well.

Maybe try to achieve 1.75 attack speed and 800 LOH ^

interesting....

For me, depends on how bad its nerfed. If bad, likewise.

Hi all, rolling a monk because I hate myself and am really bored of DH. Completely new to this, cruising through Act 1 right now - my gear is still not finished (still using plain dex/atk speed rings/ammy). Was wondering if I should save up and invest in a String of Ears/Stormshield over the dex/vit/all rex stuff I have now. And maybe that legendary monk spirit stone that gives IAS? I think I can get more LoH and Vit through jewelry, and will eventually upgrade my weapon (it's 400 loh 300 dex 90 vit 57 crit dmg but only 670 dps).



Am I overdoing it with the all res? And I think I could get more armor too. This is all unbuffed stats btw.

Sorta holding out for 1.03 to determine how IAS will pan out.

Thanks for any advice!

@LEON69

Try to raise LOH and u can drop resist down to minimum of 850. Secondary concern is the life, 33k is fine, but it would be better if it was at 35-40k

get a new weapon and youll be able to kill a2 mobs b4 they kill u
i suggest one with crit dmg, (LOH will be pretty useful to your setting, thanks to your high resist.
also get better rings ammy with crit and crit dmg, or the cheap IAS ones that are coming up these days.

This. Is. The. Shit.
Nice 210k dps. So yeah, Monk can really dps after all :)

Nice to see someone playing a different setup than the boring defensive build we all more or less play.

ps : and as i thought, 500 @res can be enough with high dps, so OWE isn't mandatory.
