So clearly 40k DPS on my Monk isn't really high, and I have pumped so good amount of gear into him. I need to find cheap solution for better weapons. I'm just nervous to dual wield to lose DPS.... thoughts?

google d3journal monk dps calculator. you can see your exact dps with any new weapons/gear without buying them.

Beauty thanks boss I appreciate that.

Bump xD

for dmg, get a new mainhand with a socket

for more res, your shoulder

Bump

change your weapon to one with a socket for crit dmg

your right ring needs to be changed

you can get very cheap boots with 200+ dex + vit + res

What more can I do that isn't really expensive?

yeah probably. i'm at 40k dps so it takes me longer than 8 seconds to kill an elite pack

You can upgrade your gloves.
