Here is my current build
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#acYgih!XdU!aZcYZa
I am thinking of swapping MoE with MoC with overawe to kill things faster. I think my current DPS is super low. Is lowering my APS a bit (stay around 2 APS) and focus on crit %/crit damage a good idea?

i'm not sure about the tempest rush... at 2aps, it's a HUGE spirit sink, but that might be getting you out of trouble, so think about dashing strike instead with the spirit discount rune (dashing strike always teleports behind your target!)... i also like blazing wrath on the healing skill b/c 45s damage buff is awesome... i dropped blinding flash for it

your dps is definitely really low, perhaps way too low to be dual weilding :/ think about a shield

Has anyone tried the high-end tempest rush build? I'd love to have somtehing close to barb's whirlwind build, but it seems tempest rush is severely crippled:

- to have infinite tempest rush we must sacrifice 3 skills - 2 passives + mantra
- it is hard as it is to find helmet with all res/single res/dex/vit/crit chance and now also spirit regen :S
- the dmg is only 50% of weapon damage
- i didn't live long enough to see if sweeping wind generates cyclones :/

any good ideas? Or is simply too weak skill to ever work?

I mean a3/a4 inferno viable, because yeah it works in a1 ... but a1 was never a problem, problem are a3/a4 champions with desecrator, molten etc so we have to keep moving or it'll burn us down

on the paper it looks cool: we stack spirit regen, life per hit and life per spirit spent. In theory. In practice I was raped by first champion that wasn't even plagued/molten/desecrator/arcane/frozen... it was some shitty electrified extra health etc. easiest possible. Admittely I used budget items just for testing (75k daibo, 10k spirit stone), but I still had 700 res/33k dps ... but oh man, 4000 armor.

Uhhhh... skills man

Farming act 3 getting boring, want to see what i should start working towards upgrading if i should even upgrade. Wut do? all unbuffed btw

probably figure gotta upgrade the weapons and maybe the ring. not a millionaire in the game tho so ill probably not be affording these over priced little wonders on the AH.

Hey guys.

Buying stuff more my monk right now and calculated the following stats:

35k dps
40k life
800 ar
30% crit
300% crit dmg

With my current weapons I'll get 650 Loh.

Will that be enough for Act 3 Inferno?

Is it necessary to have 1k Loh to survice with those stats? I'd cost me millions to upgrade it...


Thanks in advance!

why MoC doesn't increase my dps in visible way (in stats view)?
the same question regarding passive skill Guiding Light - using it I also see the same value in stats view (used in combination with Breath of Heaven should increase my dps for 31% [15%+16%])

is it a bug or just some of the skills don't increase value of dps in stats view but finally work as they should?

for instance Breath of Heaven or Blinding Flash with rune Faith in the Light increase dps value in visible way ... as expected

a little bit confusing please explain; thanks in advance
