Hey guys im new around here as you can tell by my post count but I have been lurking for a few weeks and I must say this site has given me the most and best information out of everything ive looked at for monks. I main a monk and dont have a ton of time to play maybe half hour most days some days a few hours, but besides all that I have made it to Act IV inferno with my monk following information from this site. It wasnt easy in act III (act I and II were pretty simple for me) but i managed to make it to Act IV. Now I havent tried Act IV yet but I figured it couldnt hurt to get some input. What do you guys think i should upgrade? I have about 3 mil gold, I know its not much but i have been starting to farm act I and selling items I get to make more money.
Few things to note here. I logged out in a build for farming Act I, in progression I run same build only instead of MoC i run MoE/Hard target, and instead of fleet footed i use resolve. I have better boots (more res more armor more dex) but they have no run speed, also i have a 700 dps 588 loh mace offhand, and I also run Enchantress.
But besides that I would greatly appreciate some input what is my weakest gear i should look at upgrading next, what i should look for on each items. I have looked at the guides on the site but I always say more information is good information. Like how much IAS should i be looking for, I know i have none now but everything I have read says you should have some.
I don't play a monk, but from what i have read, using the LoH offhand might help more in terms of progression. The biggest thing now is that most of you're upgrades imo should cost 3-5mill per item. So as for a single peice of gear i can't really tell you. But i've always believe in 50% of your gold income should go to better weapons, and more LoH + more resist will help for act4.
Take what i say with a grain of salt but i do believe you do enough damage that if you can hold around that amount of damage but get more resists and LoH you'll be able to do fine thru act4 ( it isn't much different than act3 ).
Thanks for the input both of you, great help. I will try to run Act IV and probably spend most my cash on upgrading my gems. I was saving it for upgrades on gear but if thats only gonna get me say 1 item id probably benefit more from upgrading all my gems like you said Shinna. Again thanks for the information I do some gem cutting when i get home i have over 300 tomes and the gems/money to upgrade several gems for sure.
And i'd agree with gem upgrades, they'd be very helpful, and maybe upgrade gems except for weapon, then use w/e you have left to get the best emerald for your weapon. ( It'll be the more significant change ).
quick update on my character profile, I upgraded all my gems to the highest i can craft atm and spent most my gold im down to about 1m but i have a ton of amulets and rings to sell on AH just gonna take time to post with the 10 at a time limit.
Anyways I will keep a look out for a better LoH weapon and I did beat the first boss/quest in Act IV with no issue but after that I called it quits for the night, I will be going back into Act IV this afternoon when i get home and hopefully i finish it out today. I just want to beat it i dont really care about farming just want to complete the game so to say. Then I will probably go back to farming act I inbetween playing alts.
Now quick question, Inferno Whimsyshire could i encorporate that into my farming of act 1? or would the mobs be to hard? I know they are of act IV quality but people say they are all melee mobs I was just curious do you think with my gear set I could put them into my farm runs for the chance of better gear/upgrades?
