Glass cannon Monk DOES work and you can clear Inferno doing it. You just have to kite with Tempest Rush (tail wind) and only do damage when Serenity is up. You should take little to no damage if you do it right.
I disagree with OP, Monk is my main and I was thinking the opposite that Monks are going to be quite strong in PvP.
Why would you want Blizzard to nerf something that can greatly benefit you? Crit/crit dmg are the best damage stats in the game I suggest you use it to your advantage, rather then try to bring everyone else down with you. Do you really want the game to be about stacking only your primary stat for damage?
Crit and crit damage are fine, nerfing those stats would only make this game more linear then it already is.
Just for fun and out of my own interest. I wanted to get a more realistic look at the Meta-Critic user written reviews, so I decided to add my own values to positive/mixed/negative reviews. Here are the total amount of these reviews first!
Positive: 1305 Mixed: 252 Negative: 2497
which is a total of 4054 reviews.
Now, instead of the such polarizing reviews found on Meta-Critic that are typically bunched around the extremes of 0/10 and 10/10, if we assign a value to a positive score, mixed score, and negative score, we can begin to get a more realistic picture of what the ratings really are, so lets try that!
Lets say for the positive reviews, we assign a generous 9 out of 10 to these reviews, as very few would think the game deserves a 10 out of 10.
For mixed reviews, lets assign a score out of 5 out of 10, as 5 out of 10 would be best described as mediocre or 'okay'.
For negative reviews, lets assign a value of 3 out of 10; since this seems about the lowest any sensible individual would grade this game.
Now if we multiple the amount of reviews by the score out of 10 assigned to the reviews, here are the sums;
Positive: 1305 reviews * rating of 9 = 11745 total
Mixed: 252 reviews * rating of 5 = 1260 total
Negative: 2597 reviews * rating of 3 = 7491 total
A total of 20,496 points, now lets divide this by the total number of reviews, 4054 and ...
we are given an adjusted score rating of 5.05 out of 10.
Does this seem a more accurate portrayal of the communities reviews on the website than the current 3.9?
I think this is a fair rating amongst Diablo players, love it or hate it. For me, after beating Inferno just a couple of weeks after release I didn't find the game very fun until I made a HC character. Now that my HC character is level 60, I am back in the same position with what feels like nothing to do, and nothing to aim for.
As a Monk, if you are geared enough, you can clear inferno using just about any build. With that being said the spec above would work except I would use Tempest Rush instead of Lashing Tail Kick, but either would work fairly easily with the right gear.
