yeah but what im saying is that by compensating with concussion for seize, nothing changes, i essentially still have the same dps i had and the same armor i had while the dps shown is now paper and the armor is not.

yes i can build a monk for insane tanking and i can build a monk for insane dps, thats not my goal.

if i went insane dps id kite more, if i went insane tank it would take longer to kill. while with the way ive altered my build i dont notice any diffrence.

right. I think I would rather take STI over resolve, if I'm using concussion, just cuz the mechanics of concussion and resolve are so similar. So you get the DR on damage done, and with STI you have armor buff so it will effect AOE elemental stuff too. have you tried both ways? I might give it a shot next time I hop on the ptr

hey guys, time for another update

heres my current monk: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Luckb0xx-2667/hero/14310698

I want to upgrade shoulders to decent vile wards, ring and boots for nice cold res nats pieces (hard to get a price i can pay for a CC+coldres nats ring)!

Any other suggestions? 4pieces innas set works quite well, might want to upgrade the chest armor sometime in the future for higher dex/vit one as well..

i used OWE, STI, and fleet footed.

with the change i use OWE, Combo Master, and Fleet footed.

in the past i did testing with GP vs Resolve, IMO GP was better, though never did testing with STI vs resolve.

Oh, haha thought you were talking about using 2 DR passives. nvm

Nat's pieces that will be able to beat your boots/right ring will cost you an arm and a leg. Few fingers on top of that as well.
Especially if you want a CC nat ring. Seen 270dex Nat boots with 300kk starting bid, no BO.
You could start on your shoulders and bracer though, should be loads cheaper. Jewelery might be boosted in 1.05 so I wouldn't touch that yet.

I been grinding like madness and have about 50 million saved up. Are Innas a safe purchase for my monk? I only die from mobs in core with nasty affixes

thanks and look forward to be part of this community

I would first change out those ameyst gems to emerald!

Haven't tried the 1.05 PTR yet.

With:

60K dmg
40K health

6350 armour ( will go down to about 5200 armour in 1.05 with STI)
600 all res
600 loh
3% life steal
26 CC
270 CD (can crit over 200K dmg)

What M-lvl should I be comfortable in ?

Res is kinda low, but I have similar stats to yours, and I went up to MP5 till I started to feel the hurt. I could do MP10 but it was hard (and a total waste of time). I quit MP10 when I came across my first Extra Health group..
