No one freaking cares about ps3 xbox crap... Diablo is a PC game and always has been, why don't they put out stuff that matters.. or just freaking update the game already

^A slower weapon would also mean you proc less cyclones in any given amount of time.

Quote from kimsulki84

For any monk builds that uses FoT Tclap/SW Cyclone, rare weapon +1.4aps / LS WKL is the best. Nothing can beat it.

If the build does NOT use any lighting skills like pure bell build, rare weapon +1.4aps / rare weapon +1.4aps (DPS doesn't matter much at all. just high dex/high cd/ls/socket)

Check out my weapon set up for the bell build. My explosive light crits up to 6-7mil per target with the current set up. I love the empowered bell rune the best though.

Echoing Fury is just not good for Monks in my opinion. Even if you have +300k dps, you are likely to chase the elites around which is annoying as hell. I can spec my monk to have about 340k unbuffed dps with cd ef on my OH. It's annoying. Our aps is just way too fast to deal with the fear proc.

Yeah until the day that I have gear on the level of Invis and other top monks, I can't see myself giving up the double LS. The night and day difference its made to my game play is just too valuable. I totally subscribe to the idea of more dps faster/less LS needed - however, at the point I'm at now, getting that higher level of dps is going to require billions of gold or some really nice RNG.

The current dilemma that I'm dealing with is whether to drop the WKL for another one hand sword with equivalent dps to my main hand and LS. I know the dps boost to lightening skills with the WKL makes a huge difference, but its actual physical damage leaves much to be desired. thoughts?

If you are using FoT - Thunderclap and SW: Cyclone there are no better items than WKL as your offhand. The only thing that can make any sort of sense in this matter is to go with personal preference. If you don't like WKL, go for a rare. It's rather simple A good WKL is more DPS than any other rare (99.9% of the time).

Won Khim Lau can give a fat boost, however, depending on your MP goals they can be extremely expensive because of the metrics you need to maintain to move up. For example, a WKL with lifesteal and respectable DPS, or Crit Hit Dmg.

Never used a WKL ever for my monk. I find buying a class specific weapon like that for the amount of money they want for a good one useless to me. I level all my characters and being able to swap weaps amongst characters is a must for me. I also find resale on non class specific weaps much easier as everyone is looking for them.

Be patient and keep checking the AH. A sword will be on there cheap, there always is and you will get it.

Quote from Bleu42

Gold hasn't been worth 25 cents a mill in months, because most of the gold bought was on third party sites for 4 cents. You have to realize, ITEMS keep their value, gold doesn't because every day people are amassing more and more gold. If you want more for it, sell it on the rmah, and then buy gold with the money.

well heres the thing about selling it on rmah for more then gold ITS IMPOSSIBLE. only a moron would pay $250 for an item when all they have to do now is buy 2b gold off rmah for $75 and buy that same item off the gold ah.
true enough gold farmers were selling gold way cheaper but the thing about that is people believed them to be shady business and would rather buy the gold off rmah so they wouldnt get scammed/banned. so now this is just ridiculous.

so in all actuality if i wanted to get what my item was worth, the day before patch, i would have to wait till everyone got on board and took all similar items off the gold ah then i would have to post it on the forums for 13.3b and hope that i count all numbers correctly in the trade window.

so all in all i just sold a $500 item for $75 because just a few days ago gold was .25 cents per mil and i read the patch notes that gold is sold by 10x mil in the rmah not that the gold @ 10x mil is worth about the same as 1x mil before. if i would have known this i would have kept my item. ty blizz for screwing me over once again.

if i had the right mind, and the money, i would buy billions of gold off rmah right now and buy every single cc mempo off gold ah then post them all on rmah @ $250 a piece.
