could someone tell what stats i should aim for with a tank monk?
hp/resi/block/dps/loh?
etcetc

35k life
600 res
6k armor
20% block
16k dps
700 LOH


With that, you can get through the game


50k life
800 res
8k armor
30% block
25k dps
1500 LOH


If you can afford it, you want that

You could even run the 2nd build as dps with 2 1handers I'm currently doing so with 45k hp/1k res all/~7k armor/70% dodge/25k dps and 2.5k LoH. Works out fantastic, but after this ias nerf it will be more difficult seeing as I'll have to stack a lot more ias to hit 2.0 to keep my LoH viable :S

YUP!! Funny too, cause the first setup is almost 100% what my stats are, creepy how close it is Just some advice to monks still struggling Act2 Inferno (albiet easier after patch now...) 6oo resists was the SWEET spot! I was at like 400 and could NOT stay alive with all my other stats where they should be. hit 600 resist and suddenly i could actually stand STILL during many fights even versus some champ mobs. It was on the cut off point... the cut off may be lower now after the mob nerfs however... *shrug*



Yup, gotta stack even MORE ias for one hander shield users... to reach the 2.0 sweet spot for LoH to be of ANY use.
Im considering sell off all my LoH before the prices drop, and picking up a bunch of Life per Spirit spent gear.

Really not happy about the ias nerf. I can only assume the balance comes from nerfed inferno, which i am also not happy about, i JUST made it through Act2 after a lot of hard work gearing... now? Everything will probably be too easy... *crossing fingers that acts 3/4 are still a challenge.*

It'll still be a challenge. Monster life and damage will come down, but so will players DPS because of the IAS changes. So it'll be easier, but it's not like people who couldn't do Act 3/4 will suddenly now be ripping through it. Bliz isn't that dumb (crosses fingers)

Just logged on. The IAS nerf has hit me for quite a bit -- went from 2.21 APS ~23.5k DPS unbuffed to 1.72 APS ~18.9k dps unbuffed. It may not sound huge, but the difference when fighting white mobs in my A3 tower farming spots is noticeable. Dual wielding with an equivalent weapon would put me at 1.97APS - still not quite over the edge of 2.0.

The fact that I started with a 1.30 base weapon is really hurting now more than ever.

That was what I was afraid of. I'll see the damage done when I login later today.

How many items did you have attack speed stacked on?

Amulet, Rings, Gloves, and Bracers. Each item gives me 6% ASI now for a total of 30ASI.

Killing mobs is much slower than before, even though they hit less hard and LoH seems to be a lot more effective than ever before. But overall, it's a pretty drastic nerf -- even with MoC Overawe and full buffs, it's taking forever to kill the toothpick throwers (well, they have shielding on them, but still).

I guess as long as you're staying up then it'll be okay. You think you'll have issue with the 3min enrage on ZK and Belial?
