Damn that's juicy.

Hey guys, I've been reading your conversations for days and tried to use some of your advice on my monk, but now I'm completely stuck, have no idea what to improve. As of now, I can farm mp 1 to 10 quite easily, though it's a bit long in mp10 (1-2 min per elite pack).

My goal is to increase my overall dps and tanking and i'd like to know what i should change.

I really dont like EF, I tried one and the fear effect looks like a total waste of time to me, but looks like it's a must have, so is there any alternative?

Is a 250+ vita 75 @ blackthorne really good? I'm currently using tal's armor for the % AS, but I feel like a good inna's or a blackthorne could be good even if i lose some dps.

Any advice is most welcome

Regards

im not an expert like some of these guys, but i can tell you that you are due for a major GEM upgrade

Yeah that's what I thought, but it is really that uselfull? I mean, if I spend 150M to get my 5 radiant stars i'll only get something like +64 dex, Maybe I could put such a sum to a better use.

EF + WKL weapon combo gives us the highest dps. And you have to learn how to use the fear on EF to your advantage on high mp games. It’ll save your butt a lot of times. And +attack speed on the other weapon is just gg. High aps is vital for all monks no matter what.

Shelongs are for kids. Please sell them. Kids love them. You will get good amount of gold out of those.

About the chest armor, if you like Tal’s, just use it. If your survivability is good enough in your taste with it, you can use it.

Your ehp, armour, life, res are all on the low side.
Use STI instead of Transcendence

Most cookie cutter build will include BT chest ( 270 vita, dex, double res over 120 = huge ehp boost)
Or Mempo w/crit + inna chest to maintain set bonus ( 90dex, 180 vita, all res 70ish = ehp + dmg boost)

Like Jin said ... learn to use EF fear to your advantage. EF + WKL (both with OS ... one must have LS)
Or EF + Fat rare if you like paper dmg (dex, vita, 80cd+, os, ls)

Regarding what you both said, I already changed my passive to STI, looks good. I will also buy a blackthorne armor, they're pretty cheap and the best way to find out wheter I like it or not is to try one.

About the weapons, I clearly can't afford such weapons, I checked the AH and I don't have half a billion to spend for my two weapons unfortunately. It's pretty much the same for the crit mempo.

I currently have around 150-200M and must admit that i'm unable to figure out if i could get a WKL/EF combo within this budget that would match my current DPS and survivability (ls/loh) with my shenlong set.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help so far

make sure to get a BT chest with FAT vitality on it with stacked res.
dex/+230vital/+120 stacked res
spend up to 20mil

EF +1100dps +200dex +100 vitality socket
spend up to 50mil on this.

WKL
+800dps +2.5% +21% bonus dmg lifesteal socket
spend up to 100mil on it.

I've bought these similar items more than 30 times already.

yes you can find them. just check AH couple times a day.

have fun

That's simply faboulous, I had no idea what I needed to look for. Thanks a lot

Oh and about my Inna's radiance, I guess that the 60life/spirit is not optimal ? Should i get @, armor or stats instead?

Np.

On inna helm I usually go for stacked resist or res plus big armor.
