Here's my guy: d3/en/profile/Vuxra-1773/hero/3419164
I just recently got the blackthorne's pants and necklace so I have super high LoH now. I can do mp3 with ease, and I can get mp4 with a few deaths. However I feel super squishy, even with all the LoH. Are there any gear tips people could give me to get into higher monster powers? I'd like to be able to farm 5-6 for keys since I hate low drop rates on keys. I have a seperate higher dps gear set that I use to farm MP0 really quickly, so gear that works for both would be good but really I just want to start farming rings.
It's kind of frustrating that I've spent like 50m on this guy and I still can't farm higher monster powers.
I'd recommend looking over my CMWW guide to start, if you haven't already.
In general, you should aim for higher APS breakpoints, starting with the 2.51 breakpoint. The higher APS you have the easier it becomes to survive because your LoH tics more often and you can refresh DS faster, as well as keep mobs frozen more. You should notice a big difference at that point from whatever your APS is now.
Also, at the end of my guide is an EHP vs MP table that you can try to use as a reference to what you should aim for in terms of armor/resist to try higher MP levels.
max IAS gloves, amulet, and rings with 3-4.5% crit, plus Tal chest and Witching Hour, with a high IAS dagger. You might have a little room to work with but I really recommend shooting for at least 8% IAS on gear to make it easier. If you get a max IAS dagger, you need 51% IAS on gear to reach 2.5, which can be done with 6 items, but half must me max and the other half 8% IAS.
Quick note regarding post above, the breakpoints are 2.51 or 2.73 (technically 2.50001 and 2.72728). 2.71 is a really bad place to be because you're really close to the 2.73 beakpoint but really far from the 2.71.
I also have an IAS table in my dps spreadsheet that shows the required IAS on gear to reach breakpoints, if needed. It's a bit quicker reference than calculating it by hand when trying to figure out what attack speeds you can work with on weapons.
Thanks guys, I'll look into getting more IAS and the chantodo's set. I don't think I'll need to sell all my gear, since I use it for farming in archon and I realize that I logged out in about half of my MF set. I think my buy order will be this:
1) Lacuni Prowlers + Tal Rasha's chest (at the same time, since I don't want to loose the 12% ms from Tyrael's Might. First since I can still use them for mp0 farming)
2) Chantodo's wand/OH
3) Witching hour (I'm actually kicking myself cause I found a good one of these and sold it instead of keeping it.)
Also I'll look for IAS jewlery as I go. I find that you can occasionally find some really good stuff by just watching.

Edit: Actually, I could buy a cheap chantodo wand and a chantodo OH with no APoC. That would bring me to 1.835 APS. Still not quite there.
