Lamely, I've decided that I need some help and while here was the last place I wanted to turn (due to flaming etc), I'm asking anyways.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Hambone-1999/hero/1685749Please if you have a minute, take a look at my monk and offer me your top few suggestions to get comfortable in act 3.
I have a new belt coming with more res on it, but other than that, I'm not sure what to upgrade without spending 30m/item..
Do I just need more damage to roll over things?
At the moment act 2 is very comfortable.
All suggestions and opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
What's your res at? I totalled up about 600 off your stats, wihch seems low. My stats for Act 3: 2 attacks/second, 26kdps, 32k health, 700LOH, 200 life regen, 760 all res, 7500 armor (with passive) and a 12% shield. The monster nerfs in 1.04 let me go straight through Act 3 and 4 whereas before I couldn't get past elite phasebeasts, so I think my stats are the approximate borderline. With those stats, I would still have to kite certain packs. I upgraded my weapon though and I can almost tank through desecrator. My weapon added 2.2 lifesteal and 3k dps. I think you're quite lacking in defense. With your DPS, I'd consider adding lifesteal. Also, Try mantra of evasion with Hard Target instead of conviction. Heck, go with a shield for an easy way out, but you definitely need more defense.
