Hi, everyone! I just came back after 2 months of absence from D3. I've read many guides about how monks are like nowadays and i realized that my build might be out of date -- I am still using the broad and sword build that was necessary back in the days when Act 2 was difficult.
I am trying to update my build so that i can "comfortably" and "quickly" farm Act 3. Currently, i can farm Act 2 without issue at all, but i find myself progressing slowly in Act 3 (not enough DPS). Many people have told me that my gears are good enough for finish Act 3, but i am hoping that you guys can guide me to finish it ... efficiently.
EDIT: Thanks for the help so far! I have changed a lot of my equipments to focus on a more DPS-heavy build. I think i have some success right now, but i still need more guidance as to how to improve it -- it only has 28k dps passive. Can someone please check out my gears and tell me how to boost it to at least 35k?
please take a look at my gears... It seems that people can do 40-50k dps easily. I am not sure how i can balance my survivability and dps. Please give me some comments on that front!

you can replace either your gloves with more stats or belt with more dex or amulet with more dps stats or rings with more dps stats or a weapon with crit damage and socket or shoulder with more dex. also dex can go up to 300 for boots. more dex and/or crit on helm and bracers works too. the gloves ring or amulet is probably the biggest upgrade unless you can get a really nice weapon. and you should put the higher dps weapon (mace) in your mh.
Seriously, just focus on increasing your DPS. Most of the things you die to(aka elemental affixes) can be overcome by simply nuking down elites faster.
A big piece of advice would be to grab a neck piece with crit/crit damage and maybe even atkspeed. It would be a colossal DPS upgrade over your current neck. Also, the faster you're killing things the less you need to rely on LOH.
I was in the kind of position you were in. My DPS was around 30k and I had about 1000loh. I still died to brutal elemental packs. No amount oF LOH helps with that kind of thing. Just get your DPS up and blow things up before they get overwhelming.
Hope the link works. I still die in act 3, maybe 3-4 times per run if I get stuck in a corner and rubberband or the odd time I'm distracted or get jumped by fallen suicide bomber guys.
I found my shoulders, neck, bracer, gloves and skull grasp from farming. The rest was AH'd.
