Just did 2 farm runs on mp10 with the set up above.

Works well with a ruby on my head. haha

No point in farming mp10, but yes, it does work in the highest mp lvl without serenity/owe/sti.

Ally tanks A LOT and takes the aggros off me all the time.

It is good to see different diverse setups available to Monks now.
Once you get over 500 all res ... its possible to drop OWE.

In MP10 I still find serenity useful against jailer / waller / desecrator / arcane.
However, I find MP7 Bell setup is not necessary and survivability is good enough with 3800 armour, 550 all es and 48K life.

I dont have much issues with spirit regen spamming bells in MP10 with FoT tele ( love namelock ... its just so good)
And tele away from being jailed under desecrator and arcane beems coming at me.
I'll give rising tide / quickening a shot and see if it makes a big difference.

Ghost ... nice SKorn ... how much more dmg did it give you.
BTW ... nice sale on your BT ammy.

So legit!! Haha first run. This is obviously complete proof that monks rock How much did you spend on this monk? He looks quite good for claiming it was "pretty cheap"...

Something that is really interesting, is that now it's almost as cheap to just drop OwE and not have to find stacked res gear, since you only need around 500 res all, not 800 like in the old days...only slightly more expensive if you find some good deals!

/e: I'm surprised you are running fleet footed instead of exalted soul or something like that. Do you really spend that much time on the move? MP10 especially requires you to stand and fight for a while.You may save more time getting bells out faster than running between packs at +10%. I suggest you try ES and see how it affects your runs! Plus, it's awesome to be able to spam 15+ bells in a row xD Both are good options though.

I'm thinking about remaking my monk, what are the advantages of using a skorn vs 2 - 1 hand weps?

Quote (Rucus @ Feb 18 2013 12:38pm)

is there no need for 650 res anymore? for a cyclone monk at least?

I currently cannot afford a decent LS skorn and the LoH I used just wasnt cutting it past like mp3.  I made a pretty low budget monk to test the new updates and I was informed on Bnet forums that Bell and Cyclone are 2 skills that scale off mainhand only.  Sooooo I decided to go with the highest dps one hander i could get and use the offhand for life steal / speed / crit.  A wicked EF may be the best for this bt I just couldnt afford that either.  I am hittin for about 2/3 what I was with the skorn but no longer having spirit issues and I can actually live and attack faster so it works out.

dont think the link is working atm.  See what you think and offer opinions.  I am enjoying so I plan on dropping around 150mil on this soon.
