I finish in ~1h with 10%ms, all depends of map layout (crater arreat... Omg) and i only die in lvl 2 by fucking fallen maniacs op

Man, this is why I refuse to upgrade my monk. I can do the same thing in similar time. That's exactly why I've been just saving my gold.

And I agree with the fallen maniacs. LOL Annoying.

Get real. If you can't make the gold to gear a character to faceroll act 3 you're brain dead. And I don't mean by spending 10 hours farming.

So my monk can take a2 without much problems and Keep Depths 1-3 with some dying (3-4 times). It takes too long though and I cant really farm anything past Keep.
Arcane/plagued/molten kick my arse and I have to kite a lot before my potion/healing skills recharge.

I am thinking about new main weapon but I am on a budget and good weapons are expensive. I wanted to sacrafice DPS for more LoH but I am killing elites too slow for that.
Any ideas how to improve my char so I coudl at least farm Keep without problems would be nice.

I've logged about 150 hours on my monk and I've got about 8m gold. I stopped playing him when ww barbs got popular cuz I made one for 300k gold and facerolled act3 with no gear (whereas my shitty gear dependent monk cost 3x that and could barely survive in a2). Monks are fun but they suck ass from a gold:effectiveness standpoint. Now that there's been a lot of nerfs since 1.03, I started playing my monk again, but I'm at that wall where my upgrades are several million gold each for a minor upgrade vs. the 15k on each piece I've been spending. I didn't exploit, and I didn't have time to hoard or even get to 60 during launch. It has nothing to do with being braindead. I made a DH for 150k that got all the way to a4. MONKS ARE FUCKING SUPER GEAR DEPENDENT in comparison, that's all. Thus, it's prohibitively expensive. It's like, lets see, what do I need for my monk? Well, my gloves have 190+ dex, 8% crit, 90 vit, and 60 poison res that I got for about 90k, but I could really use @res on there, and ASI, and CDMG. No big deal, just 20m-150m gold for those slight upgrades. Once you start going, "well, I've got 4 out of the 6 main stats I need", prices start going up WAY faster. So I'm resigned to playing my barb or DH for higher acts, or just having fun on my most enjoyable character but only at lower levels. anyways, /end qq.

Here's the shitty monk in question, lol

What do you think I should do next? Biggest glaring upgrades? I have a few different things I've been swapping out a lot, LoH weaps, api% helm, andys, etc. I was using a LPSS build (2x 60lpss weaps, 30 helm, 62 trance) with FoT:Quickening, which was super fun but just didn't have enough survivability. So now I'm experimenting with a build that's probably a lot better suited for a higher DPS monk, but with my combination strike, Breath, and 15%api up, I'm at about 37k DPS on screen plus 31% bonus from offhand (and 8% from helm for FoT). I stopped using a shield at 1.03...although I'm not averse to using one again, but cmon, dual wield is way more fun.

You guys should definitely try Way of the Hundred Fists with Blazing Fists on your right click. It's a great way to shorten your farming/lvling time. Pretty good dmg increase too.

So im having fun with my monk but i could need some advice in what to upgrade next.. about 20 mill to spend

I know my main weopon has a bit low dps and im searching for a new one. Whats preffered (if u have to choose) weopon with high dps (+ life on hit, crit dmg and soc) or weopon with higher stats? Lets say a 850 dps with socket and 60 crit dmg vs a 700 with 150 dex,socket and 60 crit dmg?

Why don't you switch your MH and OH for now? Makes no sense the way you have it atm. put your high dps in your MH

/e jesus H christ you have like 2k LoH. Anyways, for your weap upgrade go the path of CDMG over stats since you already have pretty decent stats. It's gonna boost your dmg by a flat percentage, plus higher dps scales better overall.
