Um... No?

1000 resist all is overkill for a monk. If you need that much it you probably short-changed your armor, DPS, regen, or all of the above.

If a 600+ res all monk can make it through A2, its because he compensated for the low resists via something else. DPS, regen, or armor, or both. There is a sweet spot when balancing these things.

310 life per second for my 60k life... that's over THREE MINUTES (193 seconds) to regen my full life bar. i guarantee unless you have 10k life or something you will not even notice the life regen from this mantra.
however 15% dodge equals out to about 8-9% less of a chance that you will take ANY damage whatsoever.... that you will notice.



this. the way that the defensive stats are calculated (except life) the more you have of one, the more value you will get from the others.
i.e. it is ALWAYS best to balance out your defensive stats.

just bought a new ring so this is my stats unbuffed



with mantra of evasion + armor rune im at 53% dodge and 66% dr (5.8k armor)

edit: but yeah, i prefer evasion/armor over healing... that life regen doesnt seem to do much and the dodge + armor seems better? and im using cyclone + wall as a spirit dump for even more dodge

My first char was a monk - got him to lvl60 and things didn't go so well in inferno (I think I played too much of a dps build with not enough vita).

Anyway, I switched over to DH and have that class going pretty well but want to try out my monk again.

What should I be looking for in terms of stats on items, what are the most important things etc.

Any info would be much appreciated!

What kind of trouble were you having in A1?

Edit: It's important to know. Were you dying too much? Were you not doing enough damage? Were you killing stuff, but not regenerating HP? Without knowing, we can't help you.

Dying lol. - pretty sure I had terrible resists. I now understand its best to stack one kind of res blah blah

But either way I sold most of my gear so this is a rebuild essentially.

I'm looking to do this the right way and be able to do later acts of inferno for farming etc.

I am convinced there is code in the game like this.
If CHARinGame = monk then RAREAFFIX = FROZEN, WALLER, JAILER, NIGHTMARE, DESECRATOR, VORTEX, CHAINS, SHIELDING.

any dataminers want to confirm?

Lol!

so i just decided to start building my monk i have one at lvl 50 to bad i didnt glich lvl him sooner now i can anyway. i tried to read t hrew all these pages of post to figure out what is a good build once i get to 60. could someone plz post a good build thank you in advance for doing so,

Where can we farm now and not lose money?

Rather, where could I farm and not lose money? I don't die in Act 1 inferno but it doesn't matter because my repair costs are too high.

What the fuck is the secret?

They want you to play the AH. Or better yet, play the RMAH. They make money that way.
