Hey all, Struggling with my monk surviving just about anything in act 2 and wanted to double check my gears any decent.
1064 dexterity
327 intelligence
982 vitality ( 39k hp after 13% life from helm gem)
566 all resistance
300 life on hit
4900 armour unbuffed (with enchantress, evasion mantra and keen eye rune this is boosted to 9100 armour)
11.5k damage
1.61 damage per second
0% movement speed, 5% crit chance and 50% crit damage
it was my understanding that dps wasn't of any matter and 10k was sufficient for act 2.
resist rares are all in the millions, and each of these peices are all 200-400k each.
i was in alot different gear before i realised it wasn't cutting it and decided to focus on resist all.
is the colour of the gear really that important? i realise rare gear has more affixes therefore the potential for better stats but is magic gear really to be shunned? i've read up on people who say 10k damage, 40k hp, 1k dex and 500-700ish resist is all they used to get through act 2 and i have all of this.
the only way i've been able to make money is gold find runs or butcher inferno runs and the gear that drops from that is worth at most 20k compared to the way better gear that people are flooding the market with from farming act 2/3?
EDIT: i guess i could focus less on gear with +75-80 resist all and get some decent rares with +50 resist all and nice stats, but in this case i would need to have resist all gear on absolutely every peice of gear to get anywhere? is this a better method of gearing
EDIT 2: just to clarify, i know this gear is shit but my goal is to get to a decent point where i can farm drops that will actually sell for somewhat of a decent price, then completely regear myself for act 3 and beyond.
All things aside from your gear being magic quality, your stats are actually at where they should be to clear act II (maybe a little more attack speed and some more life on hit), I know mine where just about where yours is at the moment. One quick fix would be to change your mantra to Healing - Time of Need, with your resist all and armor so far from optimal ratios (1 resist per 10 armor) that mantra will give you much more effective health.
If you pickup One with Everything as others have mentioned you do not have to pay for the more expensive resist all gear. Pieces with say 30 res all and 40 fire are much cheaper than 70+ res all.
Also mentioned I would look for a better weapon, you could probably sell yours for 800k and then get a really nice 600 dps weap with 800+ LoH. Your dmg would suffer, but that extra LoH helps a ton and lets you not worry about it so much where its really expensive (Rings/Ammy) For those I would look for attack speed and dex or vit/res. Same with the gloves attack speed + dex and 1 resistance are much much cheaper than +all res
Looks good right now though if you want to stick with the all res, just grab more LoH and attack speed would be the best upgrade.

i've gone with alot resist all because i thought in the long run i would benefit more by using the resolve passive rather than one with anything.
thanks all

Should change transcendance into resolve. Because u dont need it with decent loh and as. That would help u to save your gold.
Also i prefer Fist of thunder with Thunderclap for extra mobility.
