I didn't see a topic around for it yet, so I figured I would start one.
Rules are simple: Rate the monk above you on a scale from 1 to 10 while offering constructive criticism. Please be polite and, of course, make sure you add a link to your own monk and a brief explanation if necessary after you're done.
Well, first thing I'd like to point out is your offensive output is a little low, even if you are rocking out the Shield you should aim for the 20k range for DPS. Secondly I notice you are mixing your secondary resist on some different pieces, you should definitely focus on 1 resist, probably Arcane since you have a bit more of it already and replace the others with Arcane to increase your overall Resists.
Oh, this is fun. You have an empty socket on the weapon, put some crit there (edit: just saw the PS). Also I would put dex gems in my armor instead of vit, 40k is plenty. Some very nice items, but overall I would work towards a more offensive setup
With my other 90% crit dmg emerald im sitting at about 37k with just the breath of heaven dps buff. I'll swap out the amethysts for emeralds and see how I go.
Also, thundersteele, do you find zero LoH to be an issue??
I'm not sure why MoH was on, never use it, always go MoC unless I'm really stuck, then i do use MoE.. swapped out my vit gems for dex, bought a crit chance helm, dps up to 45k, but life down to 37k.
Time to test it out in act 3!
EDIT: a quick test of Ghom/Siegebreaker with MoC and the new dex boost + 6% from helm is unbelievable. Ghom lasted under 15 seconds, siege under 20. Not exactly a scientific test, but a massive difference.
I know, I'm Dex lite. I'm also low on coin.
My spec is something I like to call "All of the Lights!" (Queue the Kanye West song!)
"Submission" and "Fists of Fury" for the light show with the added bonus of DoT feeding me life. If only I could get 3% more life steal. Exploding Palm is awesome for A1 farming which I was doing last. Otherwise I use "Blade Storm."
For Aedius: 5/10
Based off what I see, it appears your a bit heavy on health over dps. I would personally get a new chest/pants with similar stats but with sockets. In addition I would focus on a new neckpiece as your current neck has no crit and doesnt even have your primary resists stat. After that I would focus on upgrading those weapons.
First Post woot! Pretty new to this but thought id try gaining some insight to monk gearing by readin people's responses and seeing where they're coming from.
Not at all a pro in this so im gonna take a few chances at stuff i see, might be wrong, in which case i apologize!
a) Could mayb up your attack speed a little? Especially with rings.
b ) Only 3 items with All Resist, but im guessing havnt been lucky enough to find Cold/All on the others thats worth it. Could potentially up that your res alot!
c) Nice & descent dps!
d) Can mayb look into Seize the Initiative over Transend to up that armor - which seems a little low.
Well now for the painful one : http://eu.battle.net...3/hero/16230262
Only been able to farm act 2 :\ 3 still kicks my ass. On a little sidenote tho - ive put in a personal challenge for myself to do all this without buying from the AH at all - so everything up till now has been drops only. Keeps it fun.
TY
You're quite the skilled monk so it's funny to try and comment on yours.
Your gear is excellent, although your helm could probably give you more. A socket with at least +15% life could give you a huge life pool bonus while possibly having more dex or resists.
Yours is very similar to where mine is, or at least where I'd like him to be. Your helm could use an upgrade though, and I'm knocking a point off for making me figure out how to switch the language from Polish. 8/10
i need pants and chest with double resists but its working fine for me atm act 3
@ Demakus
amazing monk, though i cant figure out how to reach ur dps without a 9xx DPS weapon
you managed to get LOH and HIGH DPS together , bet you had to sell your liver to get that money~ haha
I would find a slower Main Hand weapon (to improve damage of cyclone since it uses Average weapon damage, not dps), and then move the main hand to the offhand. Make up for most of the LoH in the amulet (if you really want the LoH). Pants have some room for upgrade too on Vit side.

I'll go first!

EDIT:
I should mention I usually have a 90% crit damage emerald in my mainhand, buy my DH is borrowing it at the moment.
My monk is in there some where, what y'all think? What should I upgrade next?
Other than that, looks good so far.

Actively Looking to upgrade my secondary weapon and increase my Vit.
With my other 90% crit dmg emerald im sitting at about 37k with just the breath of heaven dps buff. I'll swap out the amethysts for emeralds and see how I go.

I find little flaw with this monk. As such, I'm quite jealous.
9/10 because no monk is perfect. As a monk, I expect you to understand this concept.

Not the best, but enough to clear
nice monk. 8.5/10.. how do you survive without LoH?

I'm completely stuck in act 3, although I can farm act 2 with ease. Only difference between farming gear and progression is the gem in my helm.
Here's mine:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/notawizzard-1950/hero/23352176
Though your resistances are in a good place.
6/10 for Act 3
Here is mine http://us.battle.net...13/hero/3876517
6/10 only because of the magic find passive. I'm not a fan of tanky at all.
Here's mine: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Demakus-1242/hero/15225515
I'm currently still swapping to a max MF set and farming A3 with ease killing packs in under 10 seconds
