Thank You

how do you buff up a monks damage? I do 15k and I do no dmg against elite boss mobs. Anyone know why?


Ofc the weapon damage is key, but good modifiers are attack speed, dexterity, and an additional damage modifier.

I was doing 20k dps and made the jump to A2 inferno, but they just totally hit harder. I opted for 12k dps with 1700 loh and 600 resists. Using dual wield, I'm mowing down A2 at the moment (save for plagued desecrater arcane jail... that's my nightmare).

Your attack speed is too low to be effective. 1.4 attacks per second isn't that great. I got above 2 with DW and 1700 LOH. To hell with everything else and I'm mowing down A2.

I would also use serenity with increased duration and blinding flash + rune to boost your damage.

That's whats working for me.

I have. I'll never go back. 1700 LOH and 12k dps (a little low for A2 inferno, but it works).

Looking for good modifiers like vita and attack speed on my next upgrades. Plus the dodge... which proved to be huge mitigation for me.

If you stack a little bit more armor ie use a shield, you can get away with a lot more. I've tested both setups and found the shield setup a lot more forgiving.
But w/e works for you. I've just killed Belial in 1 try with the shield setup. :D

I dual wield since I finished act 2, works pretty well, very few champion packs in act 3/4/pony give me trouble (mostly invulnerable minions).

Igot a question wouldn't it be better to stack dps/ias in inferno (while having 2x 1 handers with good loh) and reasonable resist (~300)?
rather than going for 800+ resist, and ~12k with shield

Currently I'm trying to aim for 1000 resist, 45k life minimum, 16k DSP, 500 LOH with a shield.

Should I aim for a Stormshield (fire resist) or Rare shield w/ high block damage?
