I'm here to ask for help on how to gear up my young nephew's monk. Although he is a good player, he is still too young or maybe is just not that interested in reading up on how to make his monk the best. He is more of an arcade type player that just wants to "shoot and play".
In this regard, I want to help gear him up the right way as his gear is more of only centered on dexteriry and vitality (level 45-60 gears).
I have around 3M gold to spare so I will be hunting in the AH to upgrade his monk's armor and wep.
Points of concern:
a) We will ALWAYS be playing together as a group so he needs to be a tank and I will provide DPS. 90% we will be running 2-man and 10% we will be running 4-man with other friends.
b ) We plan to farm Inferno - Act 3 / Act 4. My Wiz is already in Inferno Act 3.
c) My Wiz has decent gears which I will still upgrade when I get more gold. For now my concern is upgrading the monk, Wiz stats = 45k DPS / 50k HP / 250ish resist / etc
Questions:
1) I've read around and is it right to go for this stat on his monk: Armor=7k / resist-600+ / LOH=600+ / HP=30k
2) As a tank, Is this "Order of priority" right? Resist > LOH > Armor > HP > IAS > DEX
2) As a tank, should he use 1-hand/Shield or Dual Wield is still better to have more hits for LOH?
3) As a tank, would it matter if his weapon only has 300 dps or so? I intend to go after the stats of the weapon. I believe the faster the weapon the better right? (for LOH)
4) I just read something about "Life on spirit spent". Is this more important than LOH? Should I go after this stat? Where does it fit in the order of priority?
5) I also read somewhere that there's this good boots (Asheara's Lock) for monks that has both resist and attack speed which only costs 100-200k in AH. Yet I can't find it in AH. Anyone knows how to find it?
6) Are there any good gears I should look out for in AH that is a must have for monks? (Like stormshield for barbarians - i think)
I want to research as much as I can before I buy armor in AH for him as 3M is not that much.
Hi there, I am going to answerr some of your questions mate:
1) The statweight you want to focus is : roughly 10k armor 800+ resists 40-50 ias and about 700-1000 LOH
To be honest these are my stats and im pretty much getting raped past the first couple of quests on act 3 inferno.
I can kill every bossmob without a problem but champion packs and evennromal groups of specific mobs are destroying me. They hit for 20-25k per hit on these stats and im not even talking about arcane, vortex, molten, mortor mobs.
I have a 940 DPS Onehand with extremely awsome stats 56,8 life per spirit spend an 200 agir + 400 Loh alone is awsome.
Still, if you nephew is not willing to die 30 times per hour with running up to the mob hitting serent, blinding them and die after 2 seconds it will get extremely frustrating.
Melee past act2 inferno is not even near balanced, its not even fun. Ist frustrating as hell when every second mob can onehit you as a tank with 10k armor 800 res and 45 k life.
