Weapon speed preferences and Hit per Steal #?

try mantra of evasion with hardened , two hand, deadly reach with increased armor

= 60% dodge, massive armor, higher attack speed
and without life per hit you are fastfood

why shield? 20% to block ~1-2k dmg ? not worth it. more def? use deadly reach
400 life per hit on every weapon should be enough

also deadly reach has same range as blizzard cast range..you can imagine that you survive longer..especially against
elite fire mobs. heal with fear rune is good when elite sourround you (vortex + illusionist) and you should survive

the faster the better. esp if you have life on hit and want to play with transcendence


i dont know, i sold my sc monk and started to play hc


yes this should be the problem



shield prevents you from getting one hitted and the block shouldnt be underestimated. however 2 hand with 2 life on hit weapons is stronger!
i wouldnt go for the dodge passive tho because transcendence is working so good with a fast as and you really dont want to change seize and one with everything
but yeah, the rest of the tips should work verry good.


keep in mind that i couldnt test the new mantra of healing yet, so i dont know if it is any good or not

im getting so much pms asking why armor is as good as allres:

1 Allres = 10 Int = 10 Str = 10 Armor
all of them provide the exact same thing (dmg red).
what you want to aim for is your allres*10=armor.

This build is bullshit imo. if u look at his combat stats, hes over 15 000 health gained per 1 second, wich is obviously not gainable true gear,

could you please read the text too, dont just look at the pictures
i stated now like 100 times the health per sec is from a health globe!
maybe the build is outdated but it still works for sure (i dont know if the new healing mantra is better. also in the main post there is no tanky build with 2 weaps (which is possible and good)
but to call it bullshit? well show me your monk doing better
i solo'd act 2 in a 2 man game with my monk before i sold him (had to show its possible to get a good price :D) with this skillbuild:

cant give you a screenshot anymore because i dont have any items left but i had 1.3k life per hit and low res with little over 500. 6k armor i think and 16k dmg

a nice build is transcende also if you increase the life gain per spirit spent. 62 from transcendence and 38 from items = 5000 hp per click ^^ if you cast mantra

How did u get 16000 life/s on your first screenshots?

What happen if I don't?

I was thinking of going "Resolve" over transcendence. The rest of the passive is "Seize the Initiative" and "One With Everything".
