Evening everyone.  I suppose I'm in the same boat as many other posters in trying to move from Act 2 to 3.

I've been told that my resists are too low and that I need to get them up at least to 800 and that my rings should be the first thing I upgrade.

I would like the opinions of others as to what the next step in up grades should be in order to take my monk to the next act.

All temporary buffs show up as well. Try using BoH: Blazing Wrath and Blinding Flash: Faith in the Light and logging off with those on. Your profile will update to reflect those changes when it updates, assuming you've kept your monk logged off sufficiently long enough for the damage to be updated in the profile.

EDIT: As further confirmation, I'm at 85k with those two buffs.


Lol thanks for the info

what would you improve first, assuming 15mil budget at this very moment.
Let me know if you need more details.
I've been using a 833dps/2.7life steal/64cd sword as main recently, profile not updated yet.



anyone? Profile has been updated last night.
I'm kind of stuck in a3, tried public games but people were dying like flies when I was tanking like a champ.
Picked the swords for 5.5mil both, my dps is lower than with the daggers (less CD) but I've gained 2.7 leech which actually helps.
I'm thinking of upgrading one piece of gear at a time... for now I'm wasting igg on cheap ineffective gear.

€ looking up the EHP calculation it seems I would need increase in both life and armor...

i cant look at any of your jazz since im at work and battlenet is blocked.

though given alot of monks ar similar im going to guess you roll with breath of heaven, sweeping winds, serenity, mantra, fot, blinding flash.

my suggestion would be to use MOE with backlash for act 3+ as your mantra and replace breath of heaven with crippling wave/concussion.

for your passives im guessing resolve, OWE, and seize.

id reccomend switching resolve out for guardians path if you dual wield as crip wave/concussion works in place of resolve and the 15% dodge really helps with moe/backlash.

plus for crip wave ontop of the monsters do -20% dmg with the third strike you slow the monsters movement and attack speed.

plus crip wave does the same dmg to a larger area like fot/tc does 110% to one monster abnd then 35% aoe. while crip wave does 110% and the atack itself is aoe. if your switching over to life steal, hitting 3 monsters for 110% dmg each is better then hitting 1 monster for 110 and then 3 monsters for 35%

Hey guys, so I recently upgraded my weapon, giving me an insane LOH dagger with crit. :)
I need yet to upgrade the gem to atleast 70% but atm I'm on a tight budget :lol:

With this LOH setup / Res / armor / HP ( ofc unbuffed) I kinda managed to kill like 10 packs, with only like dying 1-2 but that was my fault :P ( act 3 )

so for everyone out there, I think this is the minimum you should go for as now I've made huge process with this LOH dagger. Before this one I had a high dps crit weapon, but LOH is way more important!

I'm using moe with backlash and you're correct with passives. I might give guardians path a go, used to use it before, still trying to figure out what's working best for me.

just as an fyi incase you dont know allready:

with the 15% chance to dodge your only going to see like 9% increase. that is because its 15% greater chance to dodge.

if your chance to dodge is 40% then your chance not to dodge is 60%, 15% of 60 = 9

if your dodge was 50 then your chance not to is 50, .15*50 =7.5

ect ect
