How do i improve damage without spending millions.
Also going to replace left ring/boots with Magic find gear, and was wondering if I should replace belt too or does 17% melee dr > 17% magic find?

I'm really sorry but your monk is too terrible to really wear mf gear.

I would just get two new weapons with dex/vit/socket to boost your dps. The weapons are CHEAP these days.

i read this study about how people who are incompetent in a skill tend to overestimate themselfs, artifically increasing their confidence. while thats an interesting aspect to the study the interesting part to bring to light here is that people who where incompetent and were simply told they were wrong, were defiant, they knew they were right and you could not tell them otherwise.  while people who were incompetent and were given a short lesson teaching the basics of the skill were almost immediatly willing to accept that they were wrong.

explaining something to some one is almost allways going to be a better option than calling them an idiot or telling them they are wrong.

No, its 1 affix.

so it is possible to get a 1kdps weapon then with these mods?
xxx-xxx elemental
dex
loh
life steal
crit
socket

cause that be 6 properties.  and ive see weapons with 7 properties on ah all the time, im lookin at one right now.  So unless some mods cant spawn together at the same time, it should be "possible" to get 1k dps weapons with all those needed stats on one weap?

and to the guy askin about being caged by diablo.
Other then doin what the other dudes said like spammin the heal skills n stuff.
You can try put a shield on the moment you get caged.  The boost in armor is applied and you do take less dam from his cage attack with the higher your armor :).  Thats why you see those old shield barbs with like 11k armor, they only get shot to like half life when caged and dont even give a shit about dodging it lol.

for those that were arguing about loh vs ls this might be interesting. i was looking into if it would be worth it to get a high dps/stat weapon for my monk with ls instead of loh since it would be so much cheaper. i got a weapon that is almost the same as my current but with ls instead of loh:

keep in mind my monk has 57k dps unbuffed with a shield. also 271 life per sec, 442 life on kill

as far as farming i did a run with each and didnt notice much of a difference, cleared the keep 1, 2 and 3 and killed siege breaker easy

i was able to kill ghom just as easy with either weapon, both times i just get him down to 1/2 life then kite for 15 seconds to wait for cooldowns and go back in for the kill

siegebreaker i noticed the loh weapon was repping my life a little bit faster than the ls weapon.
so i went back and killed siege breaker with each weapon and NO BUFFS, just sweeping wind. this time the loh weapon did alot better, i was able to kill him at full health with the loh weapon, and i almost died using the ls weapon

so what i am thinking is the extra dps from buffs/convic give me enough damage to make ls viable. if i get my dps even higher i think it would work well
