I have cleared Inferno and have been farming Act 2 for about a month now. As most of us I have not got 1 upgrade or 1 item that has sold for more then 1 million gold. So yah...I want to move to Act 3.
I worked on my DPS a lot to get it to just over 50k but at the expense of losing just over 100 resistances and 800 Armor because the new gear didnt have +Armor.
My armor with Scoundrel is 5029 and Resistances are 621.
I was just wondering on your advice for upgrades if need be to get more resistances. I know i can get double on my bracers and chest but i havent found anything with as good dps and would be losing upto 5k DPS. But I am open to suggestions.
As well what is the best farming route for Act 3. I have about 20-30 minutes at a time to do a run.
If you constantly die in act3, you need more life on hit. But if you want, you can find some resistances in rings sometimes, and single res in ring is pretty cheap. Switch to enchantress and you get armor.
as farming route, I would suggest whole arreat crater. It takes about 30min.
Thanks man. I actually saw you post in another topic and have your profile saved on my computer as reference for upgrades lol. I was never really a fan of getting LOH on my weapon gems as it lowers my DPS substantially. I was hoping getting more DPS would outweigh the fact of not having LOH.
So for the Farming run basically starting at Machines of War quest and killing Siegebreaker?
So just so I can write this down somewhere. What slots are considered 'DPS' slots and 'Survivability' slots. And what DPS/Survive stats to look for in each slot?
My monk is in a similar state. I've been so focused on increasing my dps, that my resistances and health have lagged too far behind. I can comfortably farm Act 2 without issues with my current dps, but I can't farm Act 3 yet.
My budget is very low (~10mil), but I'm wondering if I can balance my gear a bit better to bring up my resists and health closer to 600 and 40k without dropping dps.
Any ideas? Here's my profile (can't post full url yet)

[Never EVER use scoundrel as a follower! Use the enchantress. Get some dirt cheap rings and an amu with just lots of vit for her so shes staying alive and u always have the 3% ias buff. Enchantress > Scoundrel any time in any way as a monk.
FYI you still get her buffs even if she's dead. She never really dies. She just slouches over and changes her tampon.
I understand that damage out the ears is fun, but if you’re dead your total DPS is 0. I'd suggest dropping some damage for resist and armor. I easily farm Act 3 with only 27k damage, but I found it takes 750+AR and 7k armor with 1100 LOH before things feel comfortable.

I'm not sure if you were replying to me or the OP, but I think you're right about the AR and armor (and i'd add health), but I'm not sure about 1100 LOH. You might need that much LOH because you only have 27k damage.
Unless you are trying to facetank, that seems a bit excessive. With high dps, pickup radius and +health from globes, I haven't needed any LoH even when I was just starting out in Act 2 with much lower dps.
If you have high dps you have no need for too much ar and armor. I run with about 297 ar and 6k armor but 66k unbuffed dps. I do not use owe

my skill build and armor if you want to look. I recently got lucky off a immortal king chest and got my innas chest and found my head piece. But my old chest was just some 100 dex 150 vit 7 pickup and my head was just 4 crit and socket no dex.

Same goes for the others too.
