You primary goal is to up your double stack resistance. My rule for selecting gear is that it must have all the stat rolls I am looking for, i.e. Big dex, vit, @res, 2nd res, double crit on gloves, rings and amu (while still trying to get the res on them), crit on bracers, and definately 12% movement speed on your boots (for running away like a little girl during your cooldowns). I have solely focused on dps gear for my monk, and will only now start implementing MF gear into items, taking into account that they would have to be rather insane to ensure minimal dps loss, as I have not once even seen an item that has my gear stat and MF. However, at my current stat, I can afford to lose about 15k - 20k dps (I don't want to go lower than 58k dps). Achieving this will require massive investment in top roll MF-embedded dps gear. My suggestion is to focus only on dps gear, then only at a later stage replacing the items one by one with mf-embedded dps-gear. I have farmed for all my items with dps gear only, and it took me while, but I eventually got to act 3, and am now facerolling most elites.

Secondly, legendaries (at the moment) are not worth getting since you can find much better stat from rares. Your helm and amu might have novelty value, but you can get a lot better from rares. Perhaps post-1.0.4 patch will be different.

My suggestion for your current gear however is:
1. Get a helm with some dex, res, vit/life%, crit, and an open socket, for an amethyst gem. Upping your HP will be crucial for act 3
2. Get some more crit on your amu. Try get double crit with some dex and res added
3. You need some vitality on your chest
4. Get 12% ms on your boots.
5. Although expensive, try upgrade your crit gem in your weapon, or look to upgrade the weap
6. In general, if you drop the MF, you will find that other rolls are much higher and better available.

Hope this helps

Get 1 good weapon, and a decent block shield if u want to farm with more comfort.
Get two good weapon alternatively, this is more expensive. I cld sell u my LoH+crit axe if u like

Been farming A3 relatively well. Just a few deaths here and there on some lousy affixes. Just looking for some advice on what to upgrade next:

~772 All Resist

I feel like I need more health on some pieces in order to upgrade my second ring. I have about 12mil right now. Anything I should upgrade now, or should I just save up and upgrade something after I get more gold?

Yeah. Your right ring can use a nice upgrade. And have you tried MoC w/ Overawe rune? It almost doubles your dps. Very nice for Act 3 farming. I switched to overawe last week and the farming has gotten faster and easier.

Btw, I got a new left ring for 2mil! cheap but effective. lol love it. It can use more attack speed but it is what it is. Pretty good for 2mil imo. Now my full act 3 farming run can be done in 1 hour even or faster sometimes with 3-4 deaths max. And those are all from 1 set of nasty pack. lol hate shielded phasebeast.

I'm trying to find my offhand weapon right now. Something with +850dps/+2.7lifeleech/socket or +80% crit dmg. Been checking out the AH every hour. Hopefully I'll snipe one between 5-10mil.

Seem like you need improve everything. Don't go to Act 3. You won't survive 30 seconds. Just farm up and save gold. Use a shield. With your gold.. it's better to just farm up in Act 1! Good luck man.

thx man, would you care to lmk for which item i should save money first etc

do i need more res/dmg/crit ?

Can you post your diablo 3 profile page? So we can take a look at your gears?

You literally need everything as far as the stats go. And can't believe you only have 1000 dex! haha

You're going to want to get your resists up to at least 750 all resist (including One with Everything). Try to find a weapon with nice LoH and an open socket to toss an emerald in to boost your DPS a bit. Personally I'd aim for 1k LoH, and dual wield with fast weapons. I don't know much about using a shield, so can't offer an opinion there. As far as life goes for A3, don't get below 30k hp. You could use a little more Crit chance, but it isn't too bad. Edit: I'd say 20k DPS is a respectable number to aim for for A3.

Like jinshin said, just farm A1 until you can get your stats up a bit more.
