i've been using blind for a long time now as a nice dps supplement. you can really feel the difference in the 3 seconds it is there.

pros: blind costs only 10 spirit, meaning you can pretty much always use it
gets you out of tight spots, allows you to flee
great for that extra dps boost against champs/bosses

con: cooldown

all in all i highly recommend blinding flash with extra dps. by now it is second nature to me to use it whenever the CD is ready.
hope that helped
also I use it instead of tempest rush.

with only 40k unbuffed i get a semi-steady 50-62k dps through blinding flash and breath of heaven.

So, no suggestions on my monk!?

Why can't I get some love in here!?

I feel like there is not a better / more useful offhand to me right now.
I need that loh / (I would need lifesteal if not loh ) and the crit dmg / vitality is awesome.

can't imagine uprading it.. can't find a better with higher stats lol

Build Diversity in Monk

LOL. what active/passive spells you monks using?

anyone of you actually use wave of light or lashing kick for end game?
how about inner santuary and other less commonly used spells?

what you think of monk passives?
2 less passives compared to other classes LOL!
owe, sti, resolve, fleeted foot, nde. are the rest useless?

Still trolling in the thread. This is what you do when you are taking a break from playing the game all day long, right?

All classes use the similar skills when they are truly at the end game lvl. WW Barbs are the ones that use the same goddamn skill set everyday.

Of course barbs or monks or other classes can use different sets of skills for lower lvl of mp games obviously.

Don't know if you are really trolling these days because you make it sound so dumb nowadays.

won a fist weapon today. it is good but not that good. it does not have critical dmg. but the base dps is 1200+ and it has 1.54 attack speed.
I am pretty done with this build now, except may need a better witching hour to get more res/vit
but too bad, they nerfed the mp difficulty, haha

man give me some suggestions on where to go from now on for my monk..

i'm like stuck right now. don't know if i should dump the inna's helm for mempo and get the inn'a chest or get a nice vile ward and better gloves for the next step or I DON'T KNOW. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

did a lot of reading on this thread but many mixed up oppinions made me lose it
anyway since i quit a long time ago theorycrafting seems to have evolved a lot and will be hard to catch up on it (or at least not fast)

Right now i can do A3 easy on mp2 (guess even 3 with some patience) but i would like to speed things up a little so i am looking for the biggest bang for the buck if i may say so.

What would be the biggest improvement to get from my side in order to be able to run effectively? Not looking for pro stuff like mp xxxxxx but just some good time.
thx for the help and i know many questions like this have been asked but since some got an answer so i am hoping for the same

IGG budget is close to 0 given the amounts people talk about these days but could scrim the wallet a little so just looking at not to buy stuff not needed....

thx

get like 50mil to start. you can make a decent monk with the budget to begin with. basically everything you have is crap. just gotta trash all and start over.
