I fucking killed him!!! ALONE!

gz

So... like many of you guys i've started to play Act 2 Inferno and i'm facing a few troubles with certain champion's packs (like those with flame's chains and similar stuff that drops flames on the ground)
I usually play with a wizzy friend so i focused a bit more on defense rather than on DPS, i wanted some tips about skill setup to hold better elites while my friend is unleashing his archon's powers

My stats are (more or less, i'm writing from work xD ):

43k life
12,8k DPS
1,9-2,24 attacks/sec (idk why it changes sometimes...)
43,5% dodge
4,6k armor
480@ res
600/650 life regen/sec
700/750 life on hit

I'm walking around Act 1 (and now act 2 with this skill setup):

Mouse Left: Fist of Thunder + Thunderclap
Mouse Right: Cyclone Strike + Wall of Wind
1- Serenity + Peaceful Repose
2- Breath of Heaven + Infused with Light
3- Sweeping Wind + Blade Storm
4- Mantra of Evasion + Hard Target
Passives: One with Everything, Guardian's Path, Seize the Initiative

With the bonuses granted by Mantra + Guardian i rise my dodge chance to perma 58% and my armor goes to 5800.
When using Cyclone Strike dodge chance goes up to 71% and i interrupt mobs from running to my wizzy friend or performing nasty attack to me.
I'm trying to learn how to successfully kite with FoT Thunderclap between monsters but my problem is still there... even with Serenity and BoH and almost 2klife/sec globally regen i cant stand more than 10 sec in fire

I was wondering to switch FoT for Deadly Reach with Keen Eye to add 50% armor... but i feel it too slow attack and overall i would lose the knockback effect which allow me to stand in the middle of fuckin loads of monsters without problems (remember also Cyclone interrupts them and it's easy to spam with Infused with Light spirit boost)

Any tips? How could i become better (except from getting better stuff in AH ofc...)

Act 3 Soloing...

What Resistances etc you need?

6.8k armour
47.8k life
9.7kdps
780lph
1100vit
1000dex
2.03attacks per second

And im having trouble, desecrator for example ticks 15k per second, fire chains are impossible
What res/armour will i need? cause im sick of getting butt hurt

as a complete noob to this game... what should I start putting stats/skills into...? I don't even know where to start. Only level 8 atm but haven't used anything yet

This discussion is about "High End" Monk, not "Starter", sry m8

why would that change anything if I want to be able to survive in hell by myself?

Because of this:



Anyway, just to cut off the OT you could at least read a few of these 50+ pages and find answers by urself, here it is (in priority order):

Dex,
@ Res,
Specific Res,
LoH,
Armor,
Vit

My free monk theorycrafting spreadsheet. This will give you your effective HP provided defensive stats. Later to come will be block and LoH.

Has anyone actually used a Daibo? I have found some that looked very good but I can't seem to justify the slower attack speed that comes with it.
