Like I said, have live span on gears. Since your gear constantly degrades, you will constantly find upgrades. That way, the OP will be happy. If you think about it, MMORPG's that always introduce better gear in very frequent intervals is essentially doing the same thing, no?
That idea is HORRIBLE!!!!!! The OP can cry all he wants...if he plays more than maybe he will getz da l00tz. He can get his pay 2 play mindset and gtfo!! GRIND YOU CRY BABY GRIND!!!!
Nice post and build. Something that I will try once I collect the gear for sure.
So here's my take on monk damage. We are definately on the bottom of the totem pole and the most gear dependent class when it comes to damage output. The stats (i.e. fire/lightning monk/cdr etc.) will come along based on your playstyle. I run T6 just fine with my current stats. The only thing I change up are my passives and a couple of skills. I don't faceroll through T6 elites but I can do it at a decent pace worth farming in rifts or bounties if I'm bored. I'm able to take any elite affixes damage and have plenty of time to react to it. I don't ever get instagibbed. Like I said, everything is based gear, on how you play, and what works FOR you.
I have 400k health, 9500 armor, 69% dodge rate (bash on dodge all you want but its still part of our class, so use it), 1075 AR,
75% Lighting damage, 43% CC, 42% AS, 497 CD, LoH 6k-ish with paragon, and 0 life regen.
Skills: deadly reach(scattered blows), sweeping wind(cyclone), serenity(ascension), ltk(scorpion sting), dashing strike(way of the falling star), and mantra of evasion(hard target).
Passives: One with everything, seize the initiative, sixth sense, and the guardians path(you can sub tgp for near death experience).
