I've been switching out to about 166% mf gear and farming Act I but I seem to be stuck with some gear choices and don't see how I can get up to others at 50k + damage... Some suggestions on gear would be great! I don't have much gold but I would be considering selling and buying
You need more crit chance ,crit damage, and agility to get your dps higher. And unless your dps is high you'll need more resist and life on hit to solo act 3.
Change Serenity rune to Ascension(life on hit should top you off by the time it ends anyway) and for "progression"(aka stuff you still struggle with) content you should probably use Deadly Reach:keen eye + Mantra/Evasion:hard target and do a bunch of kiting. Thunderclap + Overawe is typically just used for stuff you already outgear, while keen eye + hard target is used for content you undergear, anything in between those two points your first change out should be from Hard Target to Overawe and then continue to work up gear to be able to change from Keen Eye to Thunderclap.
Also, a very good piece of advice I had once heard explained is that rather than looking for the best piece for each slot, it's much cheaper to find the best piece -1 per slot. That's probably poorly worded, so I'll give an example.
Amazing stat combinations will always cost amazing amounts of gold; for the following example please know that all numbers are chosen arbitrarily. Let's say you want some rings with +crit and +critdmg on them. To get two rings that each have 2% crit and 20% critdmg will cost you a small fortune, let's say 3mil each, just for giggles. If you instead get one ring with 4% crit and the other ring with 40% critdmg will cost you significantly less, probably closer to 400k, and yield the same stats total.
If you make each piece of your gearset weak/absent in one of the highly desired stats, and alternate which stat is weak/absent in each piece of gear, then you will end up with a very potent full set while spending considerably less money. I used the crit vs. critdmg example because having both crit AND critdmg both on a single piece of gear is extremely expensive.
Lastly, it would be very helpful if you look up a stat spreadsheet that shows max possible values per gearslot so you can decide which pieces you should focus on a specific stat for. I'm too lazy to look up and post one but they've been on the front page multiple times.
the game does some calculations based off in your DEX, CRIT CHANCE, CRIT DMG ,ATTACK SPEED, WEAPON DPS
that means, the best way of reaching a good DPS is either leveling one of these to astronomical levels or balancing them out
Crit Chance and Attack Speed give you similar boosts do DPS, but crit chance will work together with Crit DMG in a multiplicative way to get your dps to higher levels
Your Dexterity and Weapon DPS are the atributes that will come into account first, so you will want to have good ammount of them

Here's my profile and you can see im sitting at around 25k damage, and about 490 resist focusing on fire. I struggled through Act III and was carried the majority of the way.

Good luck to you.
