Thanks, no didnt know it ;P will see what I can find!

Thanks for the input. I was using thunderclap but it kills me more often than saving me. I bottleneck most packs in doorways in A3 and thunderclap puts me right in arcane, des., etc all the time. I wish there was a way to execute the attack with or without teleport so I could control it's use, but as is, it seems to hurt my positioning more than help. And I guess blinding flash might help me out but I don't generally die from getting hit a lot, so I went with the dps increase over the cc. I was using combination strike on and off too, so it was actually a very large dps gain over blinding flash.

I'll keep working with thunderclap and see if I can get ahold of the reins. There are definitely a lot of situations I loved it for, but plenty more deaths from moving around when I didn't want to.

I'll see what I can manage to put together for a DW build as well.

Thanks for the tips!

There's a couple of really weird things about this monk...you need a LOT more crit dmg, and you can probably get rid of the shield to that end for another weap with CHD/os. Remember, the more crit you have, the more valuable chd is, so at a certain point chd is much more desirable than just stacking more crit%. Also, I'm terribly confused by some skills. I love dashing strike so I won't outright tell you to change it but...the thing is, you have thunderclap. Do you really need BOTH for mobility? And breath of heaven runed for more healing? Really? Seems a strange choice to me.

I'm not gonna build an useless glasscannon :> I'm trying to build up a "future" pvp char =/

About the skills, what you think I should switch?

Dashing strike is used just to avoid being frozen and such, which mean I can tank and rape 2 packs at once.

Dual wield is an useless glasscannon? lol

And why build a pvp char right now? We don't even know how it's going to be.

Just a little strange. That's all.

Why don't you explain whats strange instead of sticking to "just strange"?

I've posted asking for help not asking for whats strange lmfao

Is it just me, or can monks not dodge molten explosions and ice orbs anymore? I switched my build up for this patch, so I can't tell if it's my build (MoE vs. MoC) or patch changes...

i'm doing full a3 farm with friends and we do all locations (including dungeons) clearing whole map, its like 2.5 -3 hours
you can't ever run this in 1 hour without mobs:)

Ok, well if you're gonna get defensive...

A. Dual wield is NOT "useless glass cannon", I gave you legit advice re: dual wielding. Get an OH with LoH, CHD, oh, dual wield dodge passive, and you're evening out or even adding to survivability over a shield PLUS the added bonus of "killed that group before they laid down one plague pool" which = survivability.

2. Re: pvp, he's right. If you are pissed about not getting explanations, how about what the fuck does this build have to do with pvp? You talking about your gear? Great, if you think it's good pvp gear, throw it in your stash and put on some farming gear for what you're actually doing. Just practicing with abilities you think will be used in arenas? I can dig that, but again, we have no idea what it's gonna look like.

B. Like I said, I like dashing strike too, but I find I don't NEED it and there are other, more valuable, skills that could take it's spot. In the cookie cutter build, that spot would be taken up with blind for CC and burst dps, but if you really REALLY feel like thunderclap isn't enough mobility for you to avoid freezes (plus 4/20 seconds being invincible..), maybe put in SSS. It can easily be timed to cancel out frost explosions, plus you're looking at TONS of damage going out with fulminating onslaught, or the 7 sec CC rune, lots of options there. Idk, I'd just consider trying other things in that slot. My build is changing all the time so I'm not married to anything either really.

Lastly, Do you not use followers at all? They are all naked on your profile but I'm not sure if that's a glitch or what. Lots of utility there for single player.

And secondly, I stole this bit from Shakespeare.
