You could get more dex, especially in your chest armor, with 3 sockets etc. You could alos up your gems, but that says itself. Other than that you should upgrade your primary weapon, no natural crit dmg, and it is a bit slow with 1.2 aps.
This is my monk, I dont have any cash, so cant afford a lot. But what sould I focus on first?
Go to my profile for link to char
Your damage is over 100k, you could upgrade your belt, meself never had more than my monk's one, but i'd like to drop the shield and go dual-wield, but would have to make radical changes i guess. I have 70mill in the bank, don't want to spend it recklessly tho.
depends on how u feel about the survivability at mp7+, u could try to get inna's temperance with 150+ vit, if you are on budget, getting 8% ias ones aren't a bad option either, since 1% ias is just like 700 dps
can also consider changing ruby to amethyst... (also try to get a good rolled hellfire ring)
@KdLoL - I think the 5.4% Life Steal should be fine as it scales better than LoH. The only thing I can see that may be needed for MP10 progression would be more Armor or HP. But I'm not sure. Overall you look rather solid.

I'd like to get more AR to help increase my survivability in higher MP, but its hard/expensive to find since I took Fire Res as my OWE res.
i think u have pretty good resist overall, but if u want more resist, there are cindercoat out there with like 100+ fire resist and 70+ all resist stacking, u should replace ur inna's temperance with a better rolled one, for instance, ones with 40 fr goes for pretty cheap, or go for high vit there, if u dont need movement speed on boot, can get iceclimber as well
I think the guy above me forgot to add his armory link to his Monk so I can't exactly give it a rating..
Here is mine for any criticism
Parra#1124 (can't post links yet so you'll have to look me up on the US armory using the ID)
I realize my attack speed is very low, and also that I don't have any Life Steal, I went with a silly weapon proc.. I could also break my Inna's set for a witching hour belt but I love casting Sweeping Winds for almost no spirit cost.

Well, troll attempt aside...... I was more or less commenting on the lack of build diversity in the Monk Class. The same build can, however, be tweaked in many interesting ways. I gave up on my attempt at using a Ex-Palm/ SSS build. It was fun and different, but not nearly as effective as the many variations of the FoT/Cyclone.
It seemed a good time to comment on this as the chain of 'Rate the Monk above you' had been broken. A chance to restart it, I thought.
very nice monk ruksak, high life regen, didn't see life regen stacked in a while i see you don't have life on hit or life steal too much, on what mp do you farm and how often you die?
high dps good life, i think you should up your armour a bit, as your rezists are high enough maybe search to exchange the rares to have armour or str, str should be cheap in decent numbers
have fun !
I had about 1k LoH before rolling my Hellfire. I had to replace the ring that was there so I could enjoy the 35% para XP bonus. So I'm currently saving to buy a new weap with some LS and gonna try to fit in some additional LoH somewhere else Currently only getting about 400 from Blackthorne's.
The high Life regen is more of an unintended benefit that accumulated from the gear I put together without thought to actually gaining life regen. As I'm sure most of us know, LR is far too weak to really cause any noticeable benefit by itself. It has a decent coefficient when paired with high LoH, but aside from that it is a rather innocuous property. I guess you could say I accidentally stacked LR.
The build it shows in my profile is just an experimental thing I was trying to make work. I've gone back to my old faithful.....
I farm on MP5 for efficiency sake. Can handle MP7 but due to my lack of Life Steal, Reflect Damage has become a serious discouragement to going any higher than MP5. It's a shame that there's an affix (RD) that requires a specific weap choice (but that's a different conversation ). As I really don't have issue with anything else in particular, dying only to your usual assortment of goofs and bad circumstance (i.e. vortex'd back into a stack of molten and desecrate while Serenity is on cooldown).
Lately I've been switching my Deadly Reach rune Foresight (18% damage buff) for Keen Eye (50% armor) which gets me up to about 6500 armor....helps a lot on higher MP.

i use a similar combination build, except with wothf instead of DR, for more ias and run speed
New here. I'm not in any position to rate, everyone is SO much better than me. I've been progressing well, lately after a very lengthy stall at inferno act 1. ATM, I'm able to get through act 3 on my own and maybe a third of the way through act 4 when I got clobbered by mallet elites. Repeatedly.
I've never played online much until just this week and I'm finally able to farm a bit and quickly build some gold. Still, I've only been able to build up to just under 3MM gold. Last purchase I made was the Depth Diggers, which aren't great, but since I got them, I think I've found like 4-5 legendary items in the last 3 sessions, whereas before, I think I had only gotten 3 since launch.
I've concentrated on Dex, but clearly I missed out on the formula that tells me the real impact on critical hit chance on my DPS. I started getting some, but it's not very much, therefore, I'm pretty low on the DPS. So far, I mostly get crap drops and gold is a struggle. Even when I think I find something decent, it never sells any more. What's my next short and medium term goals?

^^This was absolutely awesome. It took me back to the good old days of running Hell Cows with my Zealot.
Unfortunately I had to ditch WothF for Deadly Reach's Foresight. As was noted above by Zorgmeister, I was woefully inadequate in the Life Regain department, something I was previously aware of and had been pulling my hair out trying to solve.
I was putting it off because of the myth that gaining LS while maintaining decent DPS output was going to cost me assloads of gold.
I spent 2 million and solved this issue with great result.
I lost 20k DPS but I've been farming MP6 on Act 3 for 2 hours and have yet to die, have facerolled a Champ pack of Reflect Damage/ Shielding/Fast/Molten Phasebeasts like a fuckin boss.
I must've saved 200k in repairs alone and the investment is obviously going to pay for itself in a days time. These Butcher's Sickles are outstanding utility off-hands but they can roll godly property numbers, ranging as far as over 1k DPS with hefty amounts of Dex.
Kuken, your set up is quite nice, though it seems you have the same issue that I do. Lack of vitality. I'd suggest trying to get some more stats on that amulet and bracers, and you can probably find Inna's items with more VIT on them.
I need to work on my vitality and resistances desperately, but this build is at least *extremely* efficient for mp1 farming. I just tempest rush between packs of monsters. My issue is surviving when I try to farm for keys on higher MP.
Very nice. For that build consider a SW SoJ, maybe even a xeph amulet for spirit regen and dropping attack speed. As you favor magic find a xeph amulet gains quite a bit. If you get enough spirit I see some run deadly reach foresight in place of FoT for the buff, then infinite rush. I prefer blind of wrath to burn elites and buff SW.
wear a hellfire ring, boots have room for 100 more dex, bracers could use dual resist,

Remember that it's all in your head.
I get 102k with the breath of light buff. I'd like to get my dps to 100k base. Any suggestions?
I'm a bit uncertain as to how to go about upgrading my OH weapon, suggestions?

Fantastic. I've been meaning to play around with Tempest Rush. How are you liking it?
Oh.....and about how much did you give for those Prowler Bracers? I've been pricing them and the asking prices are all over the place.
Fine monk though, Elinar.
