I'm not super rich but if it is possible to get some input on what you guys think needs improvement

Current skills I'm using are:

Fist of thunder: Thunderclap
Breath of Heaven: Blazing Wrath
Sweeping Wind: Cyclone
BLinding Flash: Faith in the Light
Mantra of Conviction: Overawe
Serenity: Ascension

Passive:

The Guardians Path
Seize the Initiative
One with everything

resolve gives more mitigation than guardian's path. For a3/a4 I prefer the +dodge rune on FoT, because you often want to stand in doorways shift-attacking, thunderclap makes it hard and dodge helps a lot.

and you should replace all items that don't have at least 100 res total (except for rings/amu, you can go lower here)

you have very slow attack speed, try to get some on rings/gloves/amu, and definitely replace that ugly sword with another dagger, preferably one with base ias

good start: replace boots and amu, they're pretty horrible. Then weapons. Belt is cool and all, but you don't really die to melee attacks, you die to molten, desecrator, arcane. Rare belt with 100+ res, 100+ dex, 100+ vita >>>>> SoE

For some reason i thought crit damg/chance is really needed (i skim through this thread and read bits and pieces) so im using that current ammy i found over this i had before which i still have

actually sorry, didn't see that socket

pretty low dex still, and no resists... I'd try to find something better

is movement speed a must? i read some yes and some no

4.8 mill later and this is my results from my "upgrade"



Gained +800 DPS , +230 AR, +.70 APS, Lost 3k life, 130 loh, 12% crit chance, 125% crit damg

ill report back to see how it does to see if i went wrong somewhere with a bad upgrade

Movement speed is a must imo. Will literally make your runs 10+% faster because you get to elites quicker

I group mf with friends, a dh and wiz and I'm mainly a tank

Is there a way to not get pwned by arcane and dese? Besides kiting? Like is it extremely hard to head to head with low budget or is there a trick?

Save serenity for really bad situations, use one of tele skills to get out of fire if you can't walk out, if you're definitely going to be hit by arcane try to walk towards it (so contact time will be as small as possible) etc.

Fast attack speed + big LoH to regain life; big res; and I imagine movement speed would help here, but it's not really a must have.

yea i guess i mostly solo. it's cut my time to 60-70 min for ~28-30 elites, siege, cydea, and azmo

dese is pretty easy to avoid, arcane you just gotta kite well. the only affix i really have trouble with is vortex im combination with those (there seems to be a lag time of when you can hit serenity when you're being vortexed, which sucks)
