why way of 100fists rather than deadly reach foresight for combo strike?
the 30 seconds of + foresight damage seems better to me than that in/out changing of wayof100fists

Jin I Got an On topic Q for ya, I am Farming Mp8 or 9 Ez mode, But when I Hit mp10 Its a massive breaking point, I am happy with my clearing speed (for now) But Maniac's big plauge/ desecrator packs just rip me apart (yes i have 6% ls) , yes i can run around them and re position for the most part this works fine. but when i get two nasty packs or etc i NEED serenity. Also VS freeze i feel i am losing so much Killing time being frozen, How do you deal with Status effects in these builds, do you not need a Freeze/ Night mare/ jailer etc breaker spell?
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Nearin-1366/hero/3164914Heres a link to my profile, I also switch in and out a SoJ with 11% sw 30% bve and some higher dps lower res shoulder for various difficulties etc.
My Skill question: What should i replace serenity with, and how will i be able to afford that.
My gear question: I am inclined to get High Vit inna pants but that means losing 60 res, Nat boots i will loose res in moving to higher dex/vit boots and Nat ring i will lose EHP moving to CC
Where can I make up all this lost res? and is it worth it too lose? I'm struggling to decided which direction is best to up my gear. Other than of course farming for crafts.
The main reason why I prefer BF over Foresight is the 15% extra movement speed. High end monks usually drop Serenity for more offensive active skill, and we are pretty much geared enough to facetank everything in the game. The only thing that can be annoying is Frozen/Plague/RD/Vortex type of nasty cc effect affixed elites.
I find the 39% movement speed to be extremely valuable against these type of elites. Kite out quickly when the orbs about to blow and tclap back in to engage again. This I like a lot about it.
Another way to deal with these cc effect nasty elites are Pacifism passive which make us GOD against these. It's like I want to be frozen. haha But I like BF more since it gives us dmg as well as ms.
But it's not mandatory for sure. It can be swapped with DR Foresight if someone likes to focus on tclapping around in the fights.

@Nearing: Do you usually use that HF ring for high mp games too? And what's your budget? Need those answers before I get you the gear advice!

But from what I can see from your profile, you can pick up +100 res from your bracer since it doesn't have any all res or your res on it. Then you can get +50 vital on new boots/+170 vital on pants. Maybe even more vital on your chest. It's better to lose about 30 dex on the chest to get +40-50more vital. About same price but better overall.
And about the Serenity, you can choose either Cyclone Strike/Deadly Reach Foresight/Breathe of Heaven Wraith.
CS : You can pull out the mobs out of the plague (and good for party)
DR : You can hit the elites from the outside of the plague (and dmg boost)
BoH : Extra tankiness with heal (and dmg boost)
But it seems like you are lacking attack speed. The minimum for monks I would say is 2.1aps depending on the set up but yeah, 1 on HF slot + 1 on Glove should fix the problem.
High aps helps a lot for tele-ing in and out of the fights.
