ok finally got around to posting my gear



those are buffed stats w/mantra of evasion + armor rune

my other ring is a simple 70 dex/7 ias

things i can definitely replace: rings (in the process of looking for dex/vit/ias/poison res ones, not cheap), gloves (think i can get some w/ias and vit too)

been trying to replace the first weapon but i cant find anything worth it under 10 mil so ill have to either save up or keep looking for deals (managed to snipe the 2nd one off AH for 700k woot woot)

also my armor seems low (edit: with enchantress, im at 6.5k armor and 2.02 atk/s)

dont really have a problem with spirit generation so far, thinking of going with fist of thunder + lightning (16% dodge) and cyclone strike + wall (20% dodge) as my spirit dump. do these stack? could get pretty high dodge if they do

i cruise through a2 no problem, but a3 fire chains, molten, arcane, tend to give me trouble

you want 1000 or so res to dominate a2 and move forward in a3

life is relative to your all res / defense, there was a good chart (probably in this thread somewhere)
but you dont need like 70k life or anything, just like 40k with some great resists and defense (damage reduced %) to back it up while you steal life every hit

i still use IAS on all my jewelry and gloves. 1.79 APS >>> the default 1.4 my claw has haha.
may not be HUGE, but its still needed. just dont sacrifice things for IAS now. like my jewelry still has my cold res / 100+ loh / open sockets etc

Whats a: Good, Great, GFG DPS for a Monk?

12-18k, 18-35k, 60-80k

1000 resist all to move in act 3?
bro i beat the entire game with 750 resist all pre nerf. nn 1k

Is there anyone out ther who would be willing to help me search the AH for good deals on gear/someone I can ask if its the right/good deal on what I find..

Just cant stay away from the game any longer haha. I miss it

My knowledge on the currency and right prices on items is not very good.

we aint in pre-nerf tho anymore =(

less dmg and loh cuz ias nerf raises the chance of dying for us cuz we gotta tank longer, and its better to aim high than scrape by

pretty annoying when u run into an arcane/waller/jailer/nightmare/vortex combo or something and get slammed ez

I would bump up your resistances to 850-900 pre-buffs.

Also, have you tried using Healing mantra with resistance buff? I feel like resistance tends to be the changing factor or surviving or not.

Last thing would be trying to hit 36k+ health, just to be able to take a couple more hits. I am around there and there have been PLENTY of times where just a little bit of health has saved my life.

I didn't see LEON69 's post but i would suggest the resistance rune on mantra of healing OR hard target on mantra of evasion. use the one that keeps your armor and resistances the same %, it depends on your gear.
since my resistance damage reduction % is naturally lower than my armor damage reduction % because of my gear choices i tend to use the one that buffs my resists.

Great idea, not sure why I never thought of that.

I also tend to like the small healing amount over time, since I feel like with all the mobs in act 3, dodging won't matter because there's like 10+ more monsters waiting to whack at you
