I can confirm that with 2.5% life leach, MoE with Backlash + Sweeping wind at 44k DPS (buffed) makes a significant difference in survivability against fast hitters/lots of mobs.

Had my own thread but curious which pic you think is a more desirable set up:

http://oi50.tinypic.com/fp7b07.jpg (swapping a 26% block shield and 7% crit gloves for the other 2)

How much gold would a decent monk build be? crit % / crit dmg 700+ resists 30k life 20k+ dmg

50m+

this setup wo loh and ias will fail on act 3

I have 23k base and barely any crit or crit damage
43k hp 850 res 700 loh 1.8 as 37% block

starting my search for a good weapon with 60-100m in mind

you need to expect to spend that price per wpn (assuming you are dual weld)

With 37% block I doubt he's dual

Not a dual XD I'm looking fora 800+ dps 1.4as + 700loh+ 100+ Dex weapon with crit damage or socket but yeah

Might have to make a few more mil tonight

Gotta sell this shield i bought that was 20% unid sacred turned to a 27% block 50+ fire res with 60+ all res and 60+ Dex shield
First and only unid I bought in a week and was good (:

I have spent around 30m on my monk now... and still have a loooong way to go to get through act3 more smoothly.
earlier in the thread i posted my stats, but roughtly 22k dps, 40k HP, 6k armor, 730 all resists, 850 LoH, 1.6 APS... gonna be focusing on increasing my APS/LOH and resists. So expensive for ANY upgrades tho... arrrrgh
