I primarily play on a wizard on which I have a hard time farming act 3 despite decent but not godly gear. I know what some of you are thinking, "Poor baby, playing the OP class, still can't hack it and want to try monk?" I don't enjoy kiting as a wizard. You can kite stuff around with good resists and armor like I have and spend a ton of time killing everything or you can build like a tank, which is dumb IMO and generally just stand there and nuke them. This of course would require that I swap out most of my gear for the most expensive gear in the game because that's what all wizards are doing now.
In Tryhard's most recent video I see him just plowing through elite packs on his monk with seemingly no effort at all and it prompted me to look a little deeper into it. His gear,( Tryhard's Monk Gear ) is very affordable to me at this time. Some pieces can be picked up for as little as 700K and nothing seems to go over 5m. Way cheaper than the wizard alternative, believe me.
From all the reading that I have been doing it seems that monk is a delicate balance of stats and build. I read about this guy who has awesome resists and armor but no LoH so he gets slaughtered or that guy that has no damage or the other guy that has no resists. If I do this I would want to mirror someone who is plowing through it So my first question is, is Tryhard's setup ideal?
I also came from a wizard and made a monk out of pure boredom and Im surprised its doing better in act3 compared to my wizard.
I did some searching on the AH that is similar to his gear and apart from the chest armor, everything else seems to be on the 3~5M range, weps are a bit expensive though.
