Honestly think it's your playstyle.

You should try to kite for some situations and position yourself to not get gangbanged all the time.

And you just gotta get more paragon level to get some stats up. 100-200 paragon level makes huge differences.

As for the KE buff, you can keep the buff up while spamming LTK if you mix in DR kick once.

MoC Dishearten and Intimidate makes HUGE difference. If you can't feel the difference, I don't know what to tell you.

I would say stick to T4 rifts to upgrades your slots and try again later.

Try to get the situational kiting down because you really shouldn't be dying like a paper doll with that much damage reduction stacked.


Figured my playstyle was going to be the main problem, will try to get used to kiting and positioning as I've been playing T3 far too long getting used to everything exploding within seconds, I'm going to try the Dishearten rune to make the transition easier, what I didn't notice too much of a difference at first glance was playing with MoH Time of Need and MoC Intimidate, I don't know how they compare, but I also haven't tried MoC enough to draw a conclusion yet, will keep testing to see what suits me better.

Thanks for the advices guys!

Cool, cool.

Some people think kiting is a pussy tactic or whatever. But it really is not. Even moving out of the pocket for 0.5 second is called kiting.

I dash to the nearest health globe to up my hp and spirit very often in fights on my lightning monk. That's a type of kiting.

Things like that matters A LOT in higher torment.

MoC Dishearten is INSANE on T6 since you never really get assraped by 1000 mobs at a time. All mob get to move at 20% of the normal movement speed. That gives you massive advantage on positioning yourself.

Good luck and let me know if you want to add me and play some runs in the future.

I'm doing some act4 T4 cache farm while checking what might be wrong with my current build since I find really surprising MONKster is able to survive without any defensive abilities and MoC, it just got me wondering, might it be a problem with my playstyle? Maybe I'm too used to lower torments and that's why I'm getting my ass handed to me, I usually run throught everything and stop if I see an elite pack, that usually means a certain dead (in T4) since there's going to be around 20 monsters plus the elite pack whacking away at me and I can't really maneuver since if I move too much I just bring more stuff. once there's that many monsters n the same place I just last 3-5 seconds before I die again, do you guys clear everything on your way? That still doesn't explain how he can face tank elite packs, some of them wreck me in very few hits, especially mallet lords, they 2 shot me.

Then there's also those situations where there's 2 elite packs at the same place (especially in rifts), I don't know how to handle them besides running around chipping at them hoping I survive long enough for Epiphany to come back out of CD, which usually isn't the case.

I tried DR Keen Eye and felt a huge damage loss that wasn't really worth it as the Keen Eye's buff isn't up when spamming TLK, didn't feel too much of a difference with MoC defense wise, but the 10% boost on damage sure is nice.

I don't know what exactly I'm doing wrong since all of you say my gear is good enough for T4 :<

This is what my defensive stats look like (with MoH - Time of Need), 992 resistances with MoC.




I don't play with my light monk much anymore.
I find the cdr monk way easier and fun (specially when I get the 10min shrines)

For my light monk I solo with Overawe, palm one elite and a few LTKs all explode.(my ltk crits about 30m)
I don't need much time with elites. If you kill one by one, then you may risk death by ground effect / firechains)
For group paly, I use MoH sustain ... brings me to 23k life per sec

Whats your lps ?
Try using MoH sustain and max paragon points on lps.
For higher torments, you need to replenish life quick.

OOOOH by the way, I finally got myself a Cindercoat! It's untouched at the moment. Rolled pretty nicely from the get go.

Damn, it really does make a night and day difference on fire monks. hahaha

I need 2 royal rings now! woot woot!
