also was wondering if investing in innas belt/pants worth it, not sure if that would give me much more DPS unless i found really good versions of them.

also thinking about looking for a helm with dex, crit chance, and 10%+ dmg to sweeping wind, i think that would make my effective damage insanely high

hi. which item to upgrade first? wanna go faster in act3. should i choose guardians path instead of resolve? thx in advance.

Try get:

1. Crit on your 1 ring and amu (then you could use sweeping wind/cyclone if you want)
2. movement speed on your boots
3. Maybe upgrade the crit gems in your weapons. 60% additional crit dmg is a lot

Just my opinion

... speaking of which, if anyone can make the same suggestions for mine, that's be great

i fucking love ur boots dude. i need one like that like now.

ahhh those boots/helm i want

id say you can upgrade your wep. something with lower dps but with dex/base crit/socket (or combination) should give you higher dps

also, no mantra? conviction + overawe makes things go soooooooo much faster

was wondering what the build was for those "dodging backlack monks that want to regenerate life off of dodging?"

If anyone has a clue what I'm talking about, that'd be fantastic. lol

And what kind of items should I be looking for? Currently lv 42 btw

One question, so if I put out dmg numbers like 100k crits frequently, it's better for me to add some life leech right? rather than LOH?

Thanks mate. It was the last of my gear to replace, and that along with my helm took me forever to find. that's why i gladly paid 100m for the boots

Leon, as for the helm, the same applies as the boots. Those 2 imo are seriously difficult to find.



Check my current life steal thread.. freshly created and commented on. might clarify a few things. It sure did for me. My aim personally is to hit 92k with 1H + shield before I get an offhand with some life steal. should hopefilly then be around 110k



funny thing you should say that... felt the same and currently have a bid in for a weap upgrade... hope i can snipe it for under 100m
as for the mantra. yeah i've been meaning to change that, but haven't gotten around to it. i will surely use a mantra from now onward.

lastly, this might be slightly irrelevant, but if anyone has MF-embedded items to offer close to my current gear (doesn't have to match completely), please offer here --> http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=64135244&f=176

thanks

I'm pretty new but a diablo 2 veteran, having alot of problems in act 3 inferno as monk. this is my current gear setup:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Gintoki-1181/hero/22139837

I am looking for tips on gearing up. Some offpieces I have to switch in my stash are:

71 dex/51 all res/20 mf/2os pants
134 dex/27 vitality/54 lightning resistance/19 mf belt
170 dex/26 vitality/43 all res/20 mf boots

My primary goal is team and solo magic find Act 3 runs on inferno (mostly siegebreaker) but I am finding myself being owned by every elite I come across when in Act 2 I facerolled most.

ur resistance is non-existant... n your a shield monk too so you should easily have 9xx - 1k all res without mantra of healin buff .

drops are crap regardless of your mf to be honest. Act 3 is when you wanna drop mf stuff and just flat out try to survive. unless those mf items are double res stack ... but i dont think those even really exist yet since game is still new (godly ones that is).

Get more dex. You want at least 1500 minimum to be safe, of course 2k is desired since thats 40% base dodge with 2k dex.

so get rid of that mf crap. Use the shit out of ur follower for like 25% mf lol so u hit 100% mf with 5x nv (75% mf wit out merc).

no point in having all that huge mf if u get ass slammed like an act 1 noob tryin to farm act 3. Act 3 n 4 you need to survive rather then have base mf gear. What you CAN do is, have good kill speed gear, then before last mob dies, run away and put mf swap on then jump back in for killin blow. If anything make use of ur serenity for 3 or 4 sec invulnerable time to quickly mf swap (unless you a loser who cheats and use 3rd party program that auto switches for ya).

ur loh is good enough, and eventually you want to change to either dodge mantra or damage mantra so you can blow shit up faster. But when you do that, you need to get a back up source of healin like life % steal, lpps, or life per sec. Right now you have 310 life per sec from heal mantra, but you want to eventually graduate from that preschool mantra n get that 2nd (or even 3rd) source of healin from gear (u can never have too many healin factors) unless your farmin wit another monk, then you can compliment him wit that mantra...

My advise if you are stubborn n not want to spend a fortune on dps + surviviability gear cause you'd pretty much be re-ampin the entire monk... go back to act2 n destroy shit wit that mf setup. You can still find all the good equipment in act 2, only reason people farm act 3 is so they can get those glove n bracer plans. Cause act 3 is the place that drops them. Apparently plans are limited to specific acts (good job Blizz... not everything can be found in earlier acts) much like nobody has every mf'd a stormshield in act1. Earliest is act2 or shit act2 might be the only place that drops them?
