Sup monks,

Wondering what I should be upgrading next for my monk. I only have 15mil at the moment and wondering if a new EF / belt / bracer / or higher level crit gem will be best.
I could probably spare a bit of arcane/all res since im near 800 at the moment.

Please let me know what you guys think about this setup.

your monk is pretty well balanced.

ditch that bracer. spend up to 5mil for +60dex/+70vital/+bonus armor/+80 stacked res/6% crit chance

spend up to 10mil for a new nats ring with +40 average dmg / +30 arcane res / some vital or armor or life% will be good bonus / try to get one with 9% but not that important

it'll be great if you can pick up some vital on your nats ring.

and then you can get a witching hour for big dmg increase.

I followed this guide and combined with the advice of sup monks there at d2jsp, with around 15m investment i´m finally up to do mp5 with easy, mp6 if i want it a bit challenging.
It was a great improvement since i was doing mp2 before.

Now i´m sitting at 75.4k DPS, 44.9k life , 663 all resist with OWE, 5181 armor - 659k EHP (with enchantress buffs)

I still got another 20m for upgrades, do you think i need to stick up with increasing DPS via nat´s ring and upgrades, or should i drop the inna´s chest and get a blackthorne surcoat and work around it?

I know this is a budget guide, but your upgrades from here on will be pricey.
Try to maintain your life, res, armour & ehp .... up your dmg.
I would work on the following ... some pieces might be over 20M ... shop around and hopefully you can snipe some items.

BT chest for ehp (specially double res ... so you can free up res in other gear for dmg)
270ish vita, 70ish dex, dual res over 120 .... sniped mine for 12M ... super deal (recently switched to inna chest & mempo for dmg)

VW with 200ish dex, some vita (to make up for your 4%), double res ... around 20M

You also lack attack speed.
For sure get a nats ring with 8/9 ias to get set bonus 7cc
Try for avg dmg or cd

Witch hour with 8/9 ias, cd ... w/ dex, vita, res with boost dmg ... probably something decent for 20Mish

Rare bracer with high dex, vita, double res, 5/6cc ... range from 20M+

Just save your gold and buy according to budget.
Good luck shopping

Thanks again to Jin for his time & effort making this guide.
Very valuable member to jsp.
