So I've been gone from D3 since August and am just now getting back in. I feel like builds are different after several patches and just trying to re-learn what stats to priortize. I've done a lot of looking around online in the past few days but just looking to hear directly from other players. Just cleared Inferno A2 the other night with no issues and only died to two elite packs due to rusty skills more than anything.
My question is What gear/stats should I be looking out for in order to clear Inferno?
I realize I could most likely upgrade my weapon and I am lacking crit damage. Please keep in mind I am not looking for advice on farming, just advice on what to upgrade to clear Inferno difficulty. So far into A3 I am having an easy time with elites and rares, they die slow, but they die.
My resists with OwE are around 824. My armor with Enchantress is about 5200 and my HP is around 27k. Lastly, I have about 1.5 million gold so I'm on a bit of a budget. Any advice on gearing and things to get through the rest of Inferno would be great. Thanks!
Good god. Few things here.
1. drop the shield, if your trying to clear inferno you don't need the shield and lots of monks (including my self) have not used a shield in like forever.
2. Your MH/OH needs a lot of help. You have no LoH, LaK, or LS. I would look at getting some crappy OH that has LS and a socket and put an emerald in there. For your MH get something fast like a fist with LoH with a socket, an echoing fury could do the same if you get some crit damage and your budget will support it.
3. Swap Deadly reach for thunder fist quick. Will hit way faster and you have a ton of EHP for just doing MP0 (386k as of right now)
4. Your crit hit chance is super super super low. 8.5% is really really low. aim for something like 40% over various items. And while you at it your crit damage is only 50% so that needs some help as well.
5. overall gear: most of the stuff you have is going to need help. It's really going to depend on what you want to do. Your EHP is high but your vitality is a bit low but doable just to beat inferno on MP0. You have way too much resists unless your going to be looking at doing really high MP later on.
For builds and what not you got the Cyclone build that a lot of people use so your fine there for doing a dual wield thing. Can give some better advice if I know what your looking at doing.
@Kodaijin thanks. Yeah I am just looking to clear Inferno at MP0. Like I said I stoped playing before Paragon and MP were even implemented. I'd like to beat Inferno on MP0 then play with farming and increasing MP. I started doing shields when I couldn't really get very far into Inferno A2. I'll take your advice on the weapons. Problem is having next to no money since I've been gone so long.
What would you recommend upgrading as a priority with my low budget?

Well I would blow some of your gold you have right now on some crappy weapons with some kind of LoH just to get though inferno. Then when you want to start farming/xp farming/legendary farming we can talk more. There are a few different methods. I got about 400million into my gear that I use for AC2 MP8-MP10 farming for xp and lengendaries. For farming DE and keys, well that's a different story.
Thanks again for all the advice. I made some changes over the weekend and I am plowing through A3. I was really making it painful for myself with that S&B build.
Now I sort of have a noob question. How do I get on the path to collecting set pieces? I see most high end people wear Inna's stuff. Do you farm that? Craft it?

^great website for looking at upgrades but as it is right now everything needs help.
