Excuse me, but I think you don't understand what Combination Strike does, since you're only using FoT. It increases dmg by 8% when you weave TWO DIFFERENT combo generators. Like 1st FoT, 2nd Deadly Reach, 3rd FoT.
I also thought MoC would never leave my bar again. Boy was I wrong, MoE with Backlash is way too good with LoH

Pre-1.03 I finally discovered that a solid offense was the key to the game - so I adjusted my gear and spec accordingly. You'll see in my spec that I dropped mantra of evasion for overawe MoC (and that's one skill that will NEVER leave my bar again), and picked up the 15% dmg rune in my heal - also non-negotiable. For acts 1-2 I drop Resolve/Transcendence for Combination Strike (8% free damage while attacking).

One other thing that doesn't show on the character sheet is 10% bonus damage to fists of thunder (which is 100% of my damage) on my helmet. So my DPS, with helmet and mantra included, is somewhere in the realm of 52.5k - all that while maintaining >800@res (thanks to OwE), >60%DR from armor, and >35% dodge from dex.

I choose to dual wield (makes beefing up LoH and CDB easy) over 1h+shield or 2h. With a pair of daggers, this gives the best possible spirit generation and APS for LOH. (15% bonus aspd for dual wielding with a pair of daggers and ZERO ias gear yields 1.76aps - FoT's mechanic makes it more than that.

To date I've spent somewhere in the realm of 75m on gear - some of it was bought, though, when prices were much cheaper (and gold more valuable).

Stats I look for: Dex/Vit/all res/single res on most equips - crit chance anywhere it can spawn, and on weps dex+loh+cdb+socket

A4 solo no problem, but the road to doing it was far from easy Pre-1.03 was rough for people who didn't get in on the early exploits. Good luck fellow munkz.

could u send me some pic´s of your gear?

you're incorrect good sir - you get 8% damage for using one spirit generator, 16% if you use 2, and so forth - they stack as far as you can stack them in 3 seconds

test it yourself, i've used this spec for over 100 hours, i'm 100% positive


to clarify: put on combo strike and then hit a mob, watch your DPS go up by 8%

Couldn't find the answer in this topic so now i will try ask this question

Would monk with sweeping winds benefit more from lifesteal than LoH as sweeping winds ticks fast + aoe?

i know it's reduced on inferno but still would it be benefit more, also i do not have any of those stats on my weapon so i can't really test myself

i often see some monks say" face tanking this, face tanking that, facing tanking act3/4"..
so yesterday i met a group of elite Demonic Tremor with plague, shield, archan, desecrator
no way i could tank those mobs
I also have problems with small/fast elites with molten, like plague swarms and stingers
right now, i have 788 res all, 81k life, 900 loh, 30k dps, 19 block, 36 dodge and 6k armor unbuffed and no follower
