hey guys, I've tried several different things. I can obviously kill trash mobs with ease, but when i come to a group of elites I generally struggle to survive. I'm just wondering, what are you guys aiming for stat wise? I'm still kind of just starting out inferno. I've started to stack resistance and focus less on my damage now that I'm in inferno.

What would you guys say are the most desirable attributes?
What skills are you guys using? Do you die often?
I've been spending quite a bit of time just messing around with skills and nothing seems to be as effective as my original "spec"

Any help is appreciated.


Stats wise, to survive in inferno, +all res would be the top priority. Next should be vitality, and for monks, dex would be next :)
(for barbs, instead of dex, it would be str)

Hope it helps :)

i would prefer dex over vita anytime (as long as the vita stats are still good) --> dex offers the monk MUCH more than only stuipd vita
u get dmg dodge and armor if u use the passiv which in my opinion more than equals vita

never verget that the primary stats of the monk is dex NOT vita!

thats true, dex is superior if the vita is good
e:you are healing yourself with a monk so its always a good idea to make each healthpoint worth more, the healing will be the same but the effect much greater
you are doing this buy getting armor and resist

so far its going well with dual wield, cleared the whole dungeon, 10 or so different rare/champion/unique mobs
i really think its viable, at least in act 2
edit2: also its not a good advice to say "res>vita>dex" since it has to be a real good mix of them
you cant survive with 800res and 20k vita etc

Very nice life regen! I've not tried monk before, so how effective is it in terms of AOE?

the life reg is from a health globe as i stated a few times :P
yeah there are some aoe spells and you can kill the most monster masses with ease but you will have a harder time vs bosses

Monk feels so useless in A3/A4 inferno , I'm going to bet that Monk is the last class to be able to solo act 4 inferno and beat it, unless Blizzard rehauls our skills.

act 3 seems really hard, act 2 was easy in the end
i dont know if monk is "useless" but it is easier to get something going with a ranged char for sure
