backlash mantra is so useful against monk that runs sweeping wind in 1v1

hp is too low, get more vit, life% doesn't help much if vit is low; later on collect some ruby and upgrade your gem in helm (or buy one if you have gold)
get better bracers with 6cc dex/vit and stacked res
gloves are bad, need more dex/cc/cd, get a trifecta with your res for somewhere around 80m (that is the price on us server)
amulet is really bad... you should be able to craft a better one fairly easily (lol) after 1.0.7 but it may take you a while to find the right recipe with your current gear... I reckon you have better chance to snipe a really nice amu from AH this week as less ppl would be bidding on amulet atm, I suppose.
Get a good Unity with proper average dmg and cd for anything other than plvling. Get a better HF for plvling/farming.

Save up and get a gg inna's pants (170vit + 9ias) after above upgrades. For now, get a 9ias + 58res / 130vit ones if you see a deal.

Thanks !

So the first thing I've to do is :

upgrade my weapons gems

get an new ammy (or craft some)

change my inna's pants for 5x cold res/9 ias ones ?

I don't get it for the bracers, ok they only give 4.5cc but 16x dex/9% life (so around 100 vita if 30k hp)/cold res/armor is guite good I think. Maybe I'll upgrade them after the most urgent

get gloves : 150 dex / 8cc / 8 ias / 40 cd / cold res ? Or should I aim for 8cc/40cd/dex/vita/cold res ?

get a Unity ring with nice dmg range.

Do you think that's it ? Isn't it an other item where I could up my hp (maybe buy an EF with 150 dex/150 vita) ?

I have been going with speed and dmg. (works well with 1 vs 1)
I can out run / out last haunt sometimes.

Its really different when I play in a group of 4 ... I can kill 1 or 2 , then the 3rd kills me due to low health, out of spirit and serenity on cooldown
Its like p1 kills p2 ... p3 kills p2 .... p4 kills p3, and cycle repeats.
Kinda pointless, but feels good when I can kill all 3.

I am more interested in 1 vs 1.
Anyone tried sledge fist ... seems good due to high stun %.
Stun and pound... also EF fear will turn them around and slowly stun away.
Will have to try this tonight.

Nice.

But try to mix in good load of lps... because 95% of time.. you are basically chasing wds and dhs down. They are constantly moving away from you so you wont be hitting anything for most of time.

Barbs too. They charge in and rend. Then sprint marathon away. Lol that shit hurts.

im hoping i have fast enough aps to make up for that using fot/tc, 4.0 dual and 3.52 with shield

dashing strike/the one that makes it cheap is an option over blind

and crippling waves third blow can force a reaction or death.

also with the way fot/tc works you only tele on the first blow, and the first 2 blows are the fastest as well as the only 2 that proc a single attack and aoe. so every time i tele im garuenteed atleast those first 2 hits and maybe the third one with aoe, or even maybe with crippling wave third hits aoe if i time it right.

Its almost impossible to hit a good dh or wd for more than a 1 sec. Lol

Thats the problem. Gotta tank alot of dmg and regen life fast to continue the chase. So many dot dmg skills on dhs and wds.

Your build looks good.
We need to know what Blizz is gonna to do with LoH / LS when 1.07 goes live.
With range right now, I get couple of shots in then bell = dead... in the mean time, my life is usually quite low from taking their damage.
I rely alot on life regen / pot .... LoH / LS is not helping too much cuz i don't hit them enough.
If Blizz nerf LoH / LS, then its high armour, res, regen, vita.
