they use blinding flash cause theyre chars need another aoe cooldown skill to survive


i know that earth ally is 100x more broken than most skills in this game (especially in coop. that guy can pull aggro on anything and hold it for like 10 seconds lol)

I'm running :
FoT thunderclap
Earth ally
Serenity 4 sec
Breath of Heaven +dmg
Bliding flash +dmg
MoE hard target

I miss Tempest rush sometimes but I find this build pretty effective for my playing style :)

And yeah Earth ally is just too good to avoid using it. The only times I don't like it is when he go after goblins alone x)

Hey, i'm trying to optimize my gear atm and i was wondering how much dps do you need as a monk to deal with act 3 and 4? I see some barbs with around 8K, is it possible for a monk to have so little dps? If i were to reduce my dps (currently 15K) i would increase my survavibility a lot but i fear i might take a lifetime to kill mobs/elites/bosses.

~17k is fine

any lower and youre risking enrage alot

no. 8k is not enough dps for any elite pack in inferno. you'll hit the enrage timer

benefits of a high stated Rare belt vs. String of ears?

id like to know that too

% melee reduction is huge. On my current gear, 1% of melee/ranged reduction is the equivalent of 120 resists/1200 armor/120 vita

Isn't a significant portion of your damage taken elemental? Otherwise, why do we care about resist all so much? Melee damage reduction is only physical, no?

someone clrearly didn't read this thread.

armor reduces ALL damage taken.
then there is physical resist which reduces melee attacks.
