is it worth going 4 piece innas for reduce of sweeping? seems like an awesome perk,
also from what im hearing the 8% holy damage > 50 crit 8% aps on witching hour, your thoughts?

in my build theres like 1k dps less with inna belt (8% 170dex) than witching (80dex 8as 47cd 4x res)

not sure which one im going with :s

I did get any responses on my topic so I figured I'd post it here

I haven't played D3 since the first 1-2 months of release, but I decided to come back for 1.0.5

I literally started playing only a few days ago and I have gotten really lucky with drops and I don't know what to spend my money on

I have 10mil right now and I have a few items selling in the AH one being worth 14mil

What would be the best thing for me to upgrade? and am I doing anything wrong?

pretty much on everything bro, but if you have 30 mil to put into him, ide say buy Nats boots and Ring.

your weps are too slow for a monk without alot of APS, 1.40+ should be minimum

Only thing I see wrong is the little bit of critical hit damage you have. Possibly the slower weapons too, because imo you want decently fast weapons for possibility of more cyclones in a shorter time with sweeping wind.
I'd ditch the pants and get Inna's in that spot. The move speed and attack speed would help tremendously if you don't really need the tiny bit of extra mitigation.

Bleh, wish there was a way to stop Echoing Fury from fearing.

Tried the cold soj method, can't use FoT though for the cold effect to work, so that was a bust.
Tried using Butcher's Sickle too, while it makes using Echoing Fury more manageable to use, it poses the problem of an item restriction, and a lack of good, readily available rolls.
The only other alternative I know of is to use the scoundrel with a Buriza. Stacking some cheap attack speed rings and the unique ammy that has the chance to roll freeze on hit seems like the best way to go to counter the fear.

Haven't had a chance to try the scoundrel method, if anyone has done so let us know how it goes?

Also, does anyone know some details on Sweeping Wind? Specifically, is the damage based on mainhand, or the last weapon that you attacked with when cast?
And are the damage ticks based on your aps or a set interval?

It's based on your DPS on your character sheet, which already takes your aps into account. I believe it actually changes per hit because it alternates between main/off hand. It is based on your DPS when it is cast.

currently a 175k unbuffed monk

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Destroyer-6897/hero/1531976

profile shows 165k but I swap out the hellfire for something else

question is should I get a SKORN?

It may just get my closer to that 200k dps mark

If you're just doing it for character sheet dps, probably not.

Edit: err, actually if you are doing it for character sheet dps with that skill setup, then yes, get a skorn.

1 aps, you really want to attack that slow?

Maybe 1.2 to 1.3 depending on how much IAS you have.

Ahhh you've got IAS on almost every piece of gear that can have it, so 1.47. Still too slow to have fun imo, especially with the skills we have.
