wish i can win these two....been saving gold for several days. i think i did fine, started with 600k gold, now 52 mil at hand.. i purchased a inna's helm(47 mil) and bid on the two items. haha, all hard earned gold

Hi all,

This is my current setup

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/halu-1574/hero/12301324

I can clear Act 3 & 4, but not up to farming them without quite a few deaths along the way.

Would like cut out on the unnecessary deaths along the way so as to make farming faster. This is especially true when the elites with molten comes along.

Any advice on what are the stats I need to improve on, and which slot should i work on first. Tks in advance.

your build looks pretty decent to me.
i assume you die to elemental affixes most? then you should try to increase your res. even that, you still need to play in a smarter way to try to avoid those dmgs

for moltens..do not follow them. or corner them to avoid the fire dmg.

edit: haha, i just noticed you did mention molten in your post. guess i i guessed right.

Nice monk man.

I would change out the Ally for the BoH with a dmg increase rune. That's much better than the dummy following you.

Your stats look fine. You do have a lot of life too. haha I used to farm act 3 with 25k life. haha

Are you dying when you teleport in to fight against moltens?

Im dying mainly to the elites with goo & molten. Thats the area where i normally die once or twice.

What would be a comfortable level of resist so we can get an additional few secs standing in the goo & molten? 800?

Tks again for the advice!!

800 is fine. like i said, it is mainly about skills/patience
I have 900 res and 42k life, i still almost got 1 hit from a group of molten/horde/vortex mobs... i was outside then the boss vortex me into the molten pool made by the horde minions. just that 1 sec, i almost got empty life.

I seem to have a lot of problems upgrading my monk's damage. I know I don't have a lot of Dexterity, but it doesn't seem like I can get much more Dexterity without paying 20 more millions and/or sacrifying survivability (which seems borderline to me (750 all res, 4.2k armor and 37k life). I know my weapon's DPS isn't very high either, but I still need my 800 LoH there and weapons with High dps/dex/loh/crit/socket are pricy as ***. Should I aim for a very strong Main haind(High DPS + Crit Damage) and a weaker main hand with (500+ LoH) + a LoH amulet to compensate? Or is there anything I can seem to upgrade on my build.

Your dex is extremely low and the armor is pretty low as well.

Just don't worry about the weapons at the moment.

You should get a new left ring and a new ammy. Don't know what your budget is but you should try to get something like this for now.

Ring:

Dex/Crit%/Crit dmg or Attack speed/Arcane res

don't worry about the vital. you should plenty already. you only need 30k life if you have proper res/armor numbers.

Ammy:

+200dex/some vital/arcane res (no allres)/+6 crit chance with some crit dmg or some attack speed

If too expensive, forget the crit dmg or attack speed. Just get a lot of dex with high crit chance along with some res + life. Should be pretty cheap.

These will increase your dmg / armor all at the same time.

And upgrade your emerald to "star" on the weapons at least. Shouldn't cost you much. And the emeralds in pants and chest.. upgrade them to +42 dex ones at least.

so i changed my mind..I wish I do not win those natal two pieces. I think it is a more significant change to upgrade my belt to a witching hour belt. I honestly believe all my pieces are nice, but i feel frustrated when looking at those 100k+ dps monks. very sad.

what pieces other than the belt to witch hour I should consider to get rid of within reasonable budget? 200 m at most per piece?

can someone help me upgrade my monk, http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/boss-1564/hero/18359136

I can easily do act 3 but i feel like it needs a lot of improvement. Looking for imporvements that arent very expensive like 10m max per piece thank you
