I find enchantress to be the "safest" choice, not a big dps lose for YOU, and follower usually dead anyways when hug packs come running (you still keep theyr buffs).
I had as you problems in act 3 a few days ago (DW). Yesterday i did a spec change. swapped MoE to MoH/time of need (more res and protect shield) and Fist of thunder to Deadly reach with Keen eye. And Now i'm a "cho-cho-train steamrolling act3". ofc some kiting involved, But BOY is it fun to have a gazzillion mobs running after you in a corridor when you turn towards them and DR kill em all at same time before they reach you..
Someone meanting Sweeping wind and cyclone . You should definetly use Blinding flash/faith of light and PoP sweeping wind when you have the buff from Faith of light.. I go from 47K dps to 89K for 3 sec. the sweeping wind keeps the DMG buff for its entire durration and thats an INSANE boost to dps.
Watch this movie for a MUCH better explenation on how it works.
Tbh EVERY monk out there should watch that movie......
(he kills champ packs with Sweeping wind ONLY, jsut to show you how insane it is)
Very nice video Monkalott! Helps a lot...deadlybonne had also mentioned the sweeping wind buff from blinding flash. Amazing damage.
Well my monk has improved since I started this thread. I'm sticking to using the shield as it helps my chance to survive *20 percent block* and using the enchantress for that armor buff which brings it to over 8.5k.
I don't require the help of the scoundrel since my critical chance is over 45 percent with the shield.

My stats are with shield: *unbuffed*
Dex 2.1k
HP 30k
DPS 33k Duel 42k
Critical Chance 45
Critical damage 180 Duel 250
LOH 1300
Resist w/shield 840 Resist w/o shield 788
Block 20 percent
Dodge 39 percent
Armor 6.5k............with buff 8.5k
The problem comes in Act4...it seems too difficult for me. Should I aim to get my DPS higher? What about resist...should I aim for over 900?
