15% damage buff? are you talking about that blazing wrath rune for breath of heaven? that definitely DOES show up on the dps screen....

my Monkie :0

Hard to upgrade things atm, since most cost over 10+M

but still probably looking for more dex and a bit res

"Erosion
Conjures a pool of energy that deals 50% weapon damage as Arcane per second. Affected enemies take an extra 15% damage from all attacks for 3 seconds.
Cooldown: 15 seconds"

3 out of every 15 seconds, and that's a big buff if you time it with burst cycles. That doesn't show up in your numbers either, so if you're comparing to Scoundrel, it's just another little bit to take into consideration.

i think its for 3 seconds after the monsters hit, so like if hes standing in the pool, hes constanly getting hit and constantly taking +15% dmg, though once he leaves the pool he only takes +15% for the first 3 seconds.

does anyone not use sweeping wind cyclone? so much for build diversity

I'm thinking about getting Blackthorne's jousting... pants? Anyway, I'd have to drop 75 resistance, but I'd gain 3-400 LOH and 10% life... in terms of EHP, the new pants are amazing, but then my res would drop to 715... is that too low for act 3?

I already have about 700LOH, 300life regen and 2.3 life steal... I can almost stand in desecrator at the moment, but I was wondering if my survivability would go down severely with the new pants... The reason being that because of the low resistance, each point of HP is worth less in terms of effective health, and hence i'm actually not regaining as much effective health as i was before...

Is anyone running act 3 with 700 res?

7xx res is fine.
do the upgrade.

theres some korean monk that has only like 300 res or something but his damage is like 200k something unbuff?

so thats is goin the extreme on resistance LOL.

Decided that monks were too cookie cutter and boring for the most part so I picked up a Skorn and played with it. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/zfx-1965/hero/2675976

A bit glass cannony but really really fun 1.6 aps with a 2H is no joke! Yes, no LOH/LS is tough, but 12k health globes with 12 yards pickups help a ton.

dat mempo

700 is more than enough, though it depends a bit on your armor.

I run around with 690 and 6,8k'ish armor with 33k hp, and I'm considering going to 600-650 and 7k armor just to gain more dps.
