just tried in game with way of 100 fists. It seems that it only procs on the initial hit. I get way more life back with the first standard attack with the teleport rune on it.

This is what I'm using, it's turning out to be pretty useless but I need a serious re-gear. I solod to Leoric with this but that's as far as I can get. I only have 7.4k dps and 120 resist all, plenty of armor and 40k life though. I'm going to take some time to farm gold in hell and then completely regear focusing on DPS.

Any immediate suggestions? This got me through hell quite easily and it looks to be pretty good on survivability compared to other monks I've seen in Inferno but tanking in Inferno is just... a waste of time, obviously.

every single ability has it's own special life on hit modifier. these modifiers are what the life on hit gets multiplied by each time you use the ability.
it could be as low as .25 (you only recieve one quarter of the life on hit you see), but it can also be OVER 1.00 to where you actually recieve MORE than you see.
i do not know if anyone has done the research yet to narrow down each abilities life on hit modifier.

Very nice.

tanking in inferno atm is not useless, stuff still dies pretty quickly. If you don't gather enough defensive stats inferno is gonna own you, hard, especially in A2 onwards

I mostly mean elite mobs. Normal mobs aren't a problem at all, even bosses like Leoric aren't tough but it's those elite mobs with impossible combinations of attributes. Desecrator and Vampiric come to mind - those two together and it's pretty much over for my poor monk.

I would switch to the evasion mantra with the extra def, and personally i like the heal with the fear rune. Good for when those mobs trap you and your invunerable is on cd.

had this shit earlier this morning and was just like.... well played blizzard, well played

oh not to mention they were the fucking wasps in act 2 inferno



tanking in 3 or 4 player games is impossible at the moment. what high end "tanks" do in 3-4 group play inferno is just kite and CC like every other class, except they have a ton less dps

This is mostly my problem, I know a few people who play in a group and they basically voted me out (but they said it very nicely). I bring their average DPS down too much, I'm useless as a tank (which was my role when we all played Hell), and basically I'm not good enough to counterbalance the added difficulty that me joining causes.

I kind of shine with the Arcane Enchanted guys since I can just pop off Serenity when they pass over. If they're frozen or they jail, I use serenity as well, but with waller I always run out of panic skills...




I'll keep that in mind. I might give it a try. I'm currently goldfinding in Hell with 5 stacks of Valor in a 4 person game but it's not finding me enough... does anyone know how MF works? Does it average every player's MF or is it to each their own?
