Every monk who uses Fists of Thunder and Sweeping Winds should be using Won Khim Lau claws as their off hand.  Who cares about listed DPS.  In case you hadn't noticed, 100% of monks damage is lightning damage, which means that claw gives you a 30% boost to ALL damage you deal.  Do you have any idea how many mega millions you'd have to spend on your monk to boost his overall damage by 30%?  Yet switching a single weapon slot can do that easily.

I have no idea why every monk doesn't use Won Khim Claw and a helm that has a 10% increase to FOT damage.  You guys spend hundreds of millions upgrading your gear, maxing out your dex, so you can have DPS that's high.  Yet you don't realize that just adding those 2 things will give you an extra 40% damage, easily, and cheaply. 

My monk has 19k listed damage.  I used to have to play in Act 2, and even there i'd die and have to skip mobs sometimes.  By changing my claw and helm, I can now rip through Act 3 easily and never skip a mob.



Lets ignore the fact that when the new patch came out they made A3 much easier. The weapon is interesting though if it rolls well

I've got about 5mil, so maybe someone can suggest where I can start changing my gear for the best effect? Or perhaps I should save up more? Also, in terms of runes, what's the preference here for Serenity - Ascension or Peaceful Repose? Same with Evasion - Hard Target or Backlash?


Anyone?

your dex is too low for backlash (aka low dodge). stick with hardtarget for defense boost. It will help you since your dps is low too so you can be more tanky instead.
the serenity rune is a toss up. Ive played with both and i went back to the heal one just cause i like to have lots of back up heal sources lol.

if i ever upgraded to 100k unbuff dps i'd possibly switch back to the 4second immune one...but even then, im a heal source whore so id prolly still take the peaceful response one lol.

save up your gold till you have like 50 mil to splurge. Dont spend on lil 2 mil upgrades here and there. Just get the big stuff.

just get 1k loh + 2nd heal source (life steal, lots of life per sec or lpps) and you will be set. Get another 10k-15k more life. Cause your all res and armor are decent enough to take hits.

But you should be able to handle act2 without issues with just a simple loh upgrade and then you can just farm the crap out of act2.

idk, like 10mil maybe tops?

the thing is i plow through act1 easy, plow through act 3, but elites and some monsters literally take me down like shit

with my tank build(using shield and different weapon) i soloed act 3 with like a couple deaths from switching to mf gear and what not, but they did shit dmg to me. just took ages to take down an elite or any mob..

the crit build is okayish, but still not what i want


what i meant is that i still have room to improve, hence I'm asking what I should change

I need help!

My monk currently: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Luckb0xx-2667/hero/14310698

Well I just upgraded my offhand and now I rly feel like i need MORE DEX + CC

I would be happy if you people had some suggestions!

I thought about Nats boots+ring for the extra CC and nats ring pretty much compares to mine but might be able to have mroe dex + more ias...

anyway any suggestions are appreciated, post here or feel free to PM me :)


regards.

I got about 35%cc and always trying to get more.

you need to find that balance between crit chance & dmg ( at which point is it worth to get more of which )
for me it's clearly crit chance, after like 250% crit dmg, the crit chance gives you more damage.
