EF is a real nice dps boost but I couldn't stand the constant fearing while fighting molten mobs

not loh.
get LS on the weapons. LS + socket EF will be out of your budget unless your cool wit droppin like 600M in one burn lol.
Monks can only have max of 6% LS, and only way is in weapons. You can get LOH from jewelry. (new ammys can get up to 900 loh LOL. So one good ammy and you can be pretty set on loh already )

if you do use echo, then have your other weapon be the biggest dps demolisher you can find (those are usually the cheapest to get 1k dps with your desired monk stats cause its 1.20 aps. But with echo, it will make it alot faster). Of course, imo the best 1 hander item base type would prolly be runeswords imo. Cause they are 1.4 aps and are easily able to get over 1k dpsers once rolled compared to darkblades which seem to consistantly only netting 800 - 900 dps ones with the desired monk rolls :(... never seem to see 1k dps daggers lol.

and yes the fear is definitely an issue vs certain mobs with nasty affix. But it also works in your favor for others since you can kinda semi stun or more like fear lock them haha. Just gonna have to roll the dice and see what you can sacrifice. Gain dps and speed but at cost of possibly killin yourself vs molten n such.

so what is the high end monk build/gear set up?

i would like to main my cyclone monk but not sure what is the best, etc


mantra of retribution w/transgression or conviction w/ overawe

Start using scoundrel with a buriza that has a decent freeze chance. Along with that azkranth ammy or w/e the crap it's called I no longer find the fear to be incredibly annoying.

I did find it dumb and stupid to use, the echoing fury that is, until I started using a buriza scoundrel too. It goes beyond just helping with EF also, just something to keep in mind.

Can someone help me raise my dps? man.. dunno what I should upgrade, im stuck at 85k unbuffed.. i got 250m, im looking for 140k unbuffed.

look at this ammy that i just got. lol crazy huh?

i was like huh?

I just had to take this baby out of AH, cant even remember what i was looking for and it jumped to me. Expensive ? No, 500k

Wish it had socket in it, could be nice to use instead of inna's hat and replace blackthornes chest with innas to keep 2 piece bonus

Would be good for some cheap build, might try to look for other pieces, if it's possible to build Monk with hmmh, let's say under 10 million budget and get ~100k dps (includes off-screen dps like this head lamp)

Currently bidding on this, lost auction on 2 Mempo's so far, lost nerves and wanted some upgrade, well this seems good

What are you gonna do with your pants when you get your Mempo finally? Look for some gg rares or...? Keep innas for the ASI? Just curious. I've been thinking about breaking my 2pc too lately. But I don't have the rest of the gear like you do to support it

I'm gonna get inna's chest with all resistance, already had one in stash, as i was sure i'll get that first mempo, but then lost it, lost another mempo and sold inna's chest away Gonna take that inna's chest anyways when / if i get mempo one day. Will actually have more life than now with those life% from mempo and inna's chest, once i get those bracers i've been looking at ^^ it's like ~280 vita gone from inna's hat + blackthornes chest, but now if i get these new viles + bracers, it will be only -80 vita and gaining 20-24% life

Mempo would boost dps with 8 ias and 6%cc by ~13k
