I've never used LoH / IAS, and am interested in giving it a shot as I have some extra gold sitting around. What is the number of LoH and attacks-per-second that most monks feel is mandatory?
I got a weapon that is 900+ Life on Hit, but it's slower than pond water (0.95). From what I understand I need 1.95 attacks-per-second, but how much LoH is sufficient for that rate of fire?
Also did you have to sacrifice some resists to get LoH / IAS Jewelry - and is that acceptable?
I personally dropped about 200 resists and maybe 150 vitality to pick up ias gloves and rings (one of the rings is magic quality dex ias) to get me up to 540 LoH at 2.46 aps, and saw my survivability increase dramatically (in act III atm). I would say that most monks are aiming for ~600 LoH with >2.0 aps.
You can find specific resist + ias + dex / vit rings for ok prices on the ah every now and then if you are lucky. Look for ias gloves first as they are no where near as expensive.
I would also not recommend using that likely 2h weapon that you have acquired, anything that slow sounds like death for a monk.
