Very nice video Monkalott! Helps a lot...deadlybonne had also mentioned the sweeping wind buff from blinding flash. Amazing damage.
Well my monk has improved since I started this thread. I'm sticking to using the shield as it helps my chance to survive *20 percent block* and using the enchantress for that armor buff which brings it to over 8.5k.
I don't require the help of the scoundrel since my critical chance is over 45 percent with the shield.
It seems like all my monk needed was a change in skills. Your guys tips really helped as I am easing thru act2 and doing a lot better in act3. I was initially dualing but decided to go for the shield too as many of you have suggested.
With the shield my resist has entered the 700 range and my critical chance rose to 44 percent. DPS is still good, 30k with shield. The shield also gives a 20 percent block chance. My dex has also increased to 1.9. LOH is the same at 1300 although critical damage has decreased to 180.
Some elites still give me trouble in act3 but not too many. GHOM was a huge pain but I somehow got thru him.
Now what I need help in is building my follower, since that makes a huge difference during solo play. What's better, templer or enchantress? And how would I build that follower?
You guys have been nothing but helpful. My many thanks. I'm currently on a bid for a good shield, since that is the way most of you guys said I should go.
I've noticed my DW is not that much the problem, I guess I just got to learn to kite better. I have come to a full stop on Ghom. I can't even get him down to 75 percent health. Any tips for him?
I'll try the shield and see how it works. It'll take more time to kill stuff but at least I wont die so soon.
So with the shield equipped how much resist all should I be aiming for? Near 800?
Thank you all so much for the reply. Really helped me. Just wondering if you point to the exact stats I need for a shield. I want to buy the best one for my character.
It's sad I wont be able to dual wield....I dont like the shield, always preferred 2 weapons.
But any info on what I need exactly for shield would be nice. Should I aim for 100 plus resist sheild *with all resist and cold*, critical chance and dex?
Hey guys, Im currently playing as a monk and think they are awesome but I cant seem to beat act3 inferno no matter what.
Everyone says my gear is good but I seem hopeless around elites in Act3 and sometimes Act2 and die quick.
Here are my stats:
Strength 533
Dex 1741
Int 420
Vit 948
33k
DPS 36750
armor 5247
APS 1.7
all resist 640
dodge chance 37.4
damage reduction 63.6
life per second 186
LOH 1300
Critical chance 35.5
critical damage 229
They seem decent but I seem hopeless. Maybe it's my skill set? I use blinding flash, mantra of conviction, serenity, light of healing, that vortex thing and monk fists. Can someone recommend a good skill set and what I should I approve stats wise to beat act3?

My stats are with shield: *unbuffed*
Dex 2.1k
HP 30k
DPS 33k Duel 42k
Critical Chance 45
Critical damage 180 Duel 250
LOH 1300
Resist w/shield 840 Resist w/o shield 788
Block 20 percent
Dodge 39 percent
Armor 6.5k............with buff 8.5k
The problem comes in Act4...it seems too difficult for me. Should I aim to get my DPS higher? What about resist...should I aim for over 900?

I have started with a shield and all is good now...my resistance is in the 700s and I'm living longer.....except in act4.
I finished act3 but act4 a huge pain. How strong do I have to be to beat it?
Seems like my act3 stats are not enough, or are they?
Please someone help me on what to upgrade. Thanks again.
