Anyone else think echoing fury is annoying to use?

Quote (MONKster @ 26 Oct 2012 13:36)
Tested out life steal last few days.

Bought 928 Butcher Sickle with ls / os 100 crit gem and damage is now at 85K
It was at 22M with 1 min left.
I punched in 65M ( don't know why ... didn't want to pay that much)
Some douche punched in 56M in the last few seconds.
So, I won it at 57M ... ouch ... but gave me ton more dmg.
I was watching the butcher sickle for a few weeks now.
A 980 with similar specs went for over 200M in the last secs. (4K more dmg than my 928)
So, not bad for 150M less and only 4K less dmg.

LS 5.4 % and 1000 LoH, 85K dmg (can crit over 300K)
30% crit and 300 cd
I can stand in Azmodan's black shit and facetank him in MP5.

I switch out my off hand EF and use sword ( extra 6K dmg, but no LS )
91K dmg .... 2.5LS and 1000 LoH (can crit over 400K)
30% crit and 400 cd
I die in MP5 against Azmodan.

So that extra 2.9 LS is a huge deal..... with 85K dmg
Some info for you if you wonder how much LS is enough for MP5.


How are you critting for 300k with only a 928 (roughly 850 top end damage on weapon I think?)dps weapon and 300% chd?

Okay guys, any help would be appreciated as it seems you guys know what you're talking about :)

Just got back to this game few days a go....I know most if not all my items are outdated and need upgrading but what should I focus on first? and what is really bad that can be upgraded for cheap and provide a big boost in dps / survilability!

like I said any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone. Been lurking around for a few months, but finally am asking for some input on where to go with my monk. I've got 12mil and I'm trying to upgrade something. I know my rings suck. Anybody got any gear they think would work for me? Pm me or ig at omgwtfhax#1939. Would love some other suggestions on what to upgrade and how much to be spending on what stats. I'm horrible w the pricing of items. Thanks!

I was randomly looking for WKLs and I picked up a dex socket vit one that's 840 dps and 24%... No sustain, but I couldn't resist at 200k lol.

I see that you're having hp problems... A nice pair of shoulders should fix that. Look for dex vit life % and double res ones. Then I'd move onto your helm and chest, go for an inna's set for both. You should be able to boost your dps without losing much defense seeing that you only have single res on your current ones. Radiant star on your offhand. Main hand needs to be changed but you need that vit until you get some good shoulders...

Fist of thunder
Sweeping winds cyclone
Blinding flash faith in the light
Serenity
Breath of healing 15% damage OR deadly reach 30?% (just saw this tip, why I never thought of it, I dunno)
Mantra conviction overawe OR mantra evasion hard target

First 3 are mandatory, last 3 can be changed to favor defense over offense... People claim you need at least 30% crit to benefit from cyclones... If you don't the blades one is better (more damage)

I disagree that any 3 of those are mandatory, however FoT and sweeping wind is nearly irreplaceable if you want to deal decent damage. The only two monk skills I'd say are mandatory are Serenity and Breath of Healing.
I personally use Deadly Reach with the Foresight rune for 30 seconds of 18% damage instead of the 30% from blinding flash for 3 seconds. This also allows me to keep fot on right click to have less clicking to do.

Yeah i've been actually using combination strike for some days and also used blazing fists in mouse2 since i unlocked that skill ^^

Just made few mp8 ubers and fully buffed dps was ~510k, i can't understand how that blinding flash scales the 30% damage, seems more like 115% or so


There was a discussion a couple weeks back about this. It seems to scale with some invisible numbers and based on your current DPS. For instance, when I was at like 30k dps, I was getting about 45% boost, but people with 150K dps were closer to 120%. It's mysterious
