so i dont understand why i'm dying to elites in a2 inferno.

current stats (dual wield) are:
~4.5k defense with mantra
50% dodge (60% for 3 secs after casting mantra)
36k life
950 all res
1800 life on hit
1.78 attack speed.
buffed dmg is 24k

why am i getting destroyed by elites in late a2...

I can solo belial no problem, but can't kill the elites in the underground waterway..?

/edit: and i get absolutely wrecked by a3. so idk what you guys are doing differently that you can "easy" a3 with less stats than i have...

how in the world do you "faceroll" a3 with 400 loh, 750 all res, and 5.5k defense..?

because with the dmg i almost instantly kill 1 mob, and ofc you have to dodge stuff like arcane/descerator/chains, rest is almost no dmg

750res is enough tho

Do monks farm as fast or daster then barbs solo? Are they expensive. I gave a dh 70k dps atm. But want to. Try a melee char since they can run past white mobs. Should I stick with dh? Is there a reason monks go for cold resist over others?

tornado barb is the fastest imo (if we talking about good equip) same killspeed but barbs run much faster ^_^

and yes, hell expensive, be rdy to spend 200m+

Yeah, that's true. But with his loh and higher res he should't have issues in a2 at least.
That's why I'm wondering on the skills used.

Still I'd sacrifice res and loh maybe to get more damage.

Myself I'm looking to upp my damage to 65k mark that should speed up a3 farm considerably.

highest dmg is wih slow main hand with HIGH dps (1.1kdps+) and a dagger as offhand with like 800dps but dex+180%+crit

my speed lowered when I use fist as main hand... not sure if the actual "displayed speed" is the actual speed

and the boots I've looked at with the ms movement....were 100mil lol and I'm not throwing down for that price

I've been so busy with work that I haven't farmed in weeks :x so its okay for now

Attack speed will help your regen and damage, of course. I think the amount of damage you do makes it less vital than before. Is it vital? No. I think you've got a nice setup and don't have any concerns you'll upgrade to your best possible in time.
