im posting this here so maybe someone will help me out abit with my monk



I am trying to figure out what .% of life leech = what # life on hit for my monk

this is hard first off because i suck at math and also because there is so much off screen damage with monks because of sweeping wind(does this even get life leech?) and won khim lau % increase and 48% from aura

so please help me out with some calculations assuming I have 40k dps on screen and 25% crit chance

i use 48% from aura and 21% on my won khim (not sure what all this effects) and use cyclones (not sure if i get leech from this)

thanks!

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.

to the dude that you were talkin to about needin dashin strike to avoide ice bombs...
i had 0% movement speed and can avoid them manually just fine.  All about placing yourself to be able to escape (aka dont corner yourself).  I now have 12%ms and it makes it feel like a joke for me to avoid them now lol.  I can only imagine what you guys with like 24% and higher movement speed feel :0

This.

LOH dosnt proc per monster but per hit, and aoe is counted as 1 hit, so with fot/tc your getting 1 110% dmg hit and 1 35% dmg aoe hit.  combine this with the FOT/TC Coefficient of 75% it means that if your attack hits 1 monster or 40 monsters its still only 1 hit for the attack and 1 hit for the aoe part of the attack. so with the first 2 attacks the most life from loh per attack you can get is 150% your loh, with the third strike there is fot aoe and tc aoe dmg so you get 225% your loh with the third strike.

comparably Life steal is all dmg done, so if your hitting 40 monsters for 10k dmg each thats 400k dmg that you are leeching from for a total of 2400 life healed.

this means that vs large mobs when you have 30k+ dps, life steal is much better then loh, but with smaller groups like 1 vs 1-3 LOH comes out ontop.

if you get both, you are very well suited for large and small mobs.

thank you sir.
now sandied can get the sand out of his vagina and see why no need explanation.

both are needed for different situations.
life steal for a mini life per second effect as long as your sweepin wind is active and you are in melee range.  SO to the dude that asked.  yes you need life steal % so you can heal from your sweepin wind.  It is said loh does work with the cyclone part of the attack.
